Fixing Green Icons


There are millions of ways to make an icon to appear green in Warcraft, however I will write here the most common.

1. I will start from the beginning. A common problem is the size and color depth of an icon. If an icon does not have 64x64 or 48x48 pixels and does not have 24BPP (24 bits color) it will be green. To solve this problem convert your icons into BMP and set the icons to 64x64 (or 48x48) pixels and 24 BPP
2. After that we have the name of an icon. To be well accepted by the game the icon name must follow a formula. The formula is: IconType + IconCustomName + .FileFormat = BTN_myicon.blp , per example.
3. If the icon name is correct check for its correspondent, remember that 64x64 icons MUST always have a DISBTN correspondent, with the same name. In this case the formula is: DISIconType + IconCustomName(equal to the correspondent icon name) + .FileFormat = DISBTN_myicon.blp . PASBTN and DISPASBTN are NOT an exception to this formula. Only 48x48 icons don’t need a DIS correspondent
4. Finally and the most common cause the Import path is usually wrong. To correct an import path use the formula: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\IconType + IconCustomName + .FileFomat = ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN_myicon.blp .Keep in mind that he previous rules also applies here.
