BEGIN PART [1]

So, you want to import an icon you just made into your map, and then the second you hit the import button, BAM it hits you! You forgot to add borders to it!


[No border! Oh noes!]

Well open up Button Manager and then go to file and open file;


Click on it and find your desired file;


[Hint, allowed file types are: .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .tga, .psd, .blp, .png .]

And... BAM! It gets stamped into that little hole there!



END PART [1]

BEGIN PART [2]

Hmm.. i'm looking at my image.. now what?

Press the desired type of border you want, lemme say... autocast! and then.... BAM! I got an autocast image!



Now you want to have this image for your own evil deeds do you? Fine. Go to File then to Save File As and choose where you wish to save it.



Open it in your paint program and w0wzor! It has a border.



Also, you can save it as the file types that you opened, so if it was a .bmp for example, you should save it as .blp .

END PRODUCT:


[Hint: This programs creates a active (clickable) and also an inactive (not researched, opened f9, f10 e.t.c or other reasons).]

This though this tut's title is Bordering icons and yours just says noobs guide to icon making. I'm not saying your wrong or anything, but I would click this tut first if i had to make a border.

 

[Darkness-4ever]

Yes, this tutorial was already included in that other guys tutorial, now why has it taken soo long to graveyard this? Oh thats right, the tutorial mod got graveyarded first...

 

[-Kobas-]

Why you created tutorial for program with no more than 20 functions?
I mean Button Manager is too simple for use!

Just open image select border and save! BAM new Icon

I'm going to graveyard this since it is discussed in many tutorials already. Sorry, but I don't think we should have too many repeats. (Or at least limit that as much as we can)
