Make sure you have set the custom path file of imported BTN icon to: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTN(name of the icon).blp
and for disabled (darkened icons) to: ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTN(name of the icon).blp

Althought, you can check this site for more information: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/icons.php

IF more help is nessesary, just ask

if they appear green then that means the icon is not found. its pretty hard to get a wrong path on an ability icon since you have a dropdown list of all the paths. if you are replacing icons in game interface then make sure that the path is the same as the icon path that includes war3mapimported/

aside from their suggestions, I would like to suggest using the search button to look for threads with the same topic or tutorials next time before asking a question because these types of questions are already asked a couple of times...

@Radicool - that was the same tutorial that was linked on an above post...

Woops

@OP: can you post a pic of the thing in-game and of the gameplay interface part where you modified the icons?

Well actually i've been having the same issue with "Channel" ability, when i try to level it up... no apparent reason i can think of this happens.

I have no problems in leveling channel both trigger-wise and using OE...

I dont have problems either in leveling it, it just appears green when i go to the skills-menu in the level.

that's what I mean, I don't have any icon problems with it... but if it turns green, then its most probably a case of unknown disbtn path (assuming it only turns green when it cannot be leveled)...

but if it also turns green if it can be leveled, then it means you forgot to put an icon on the Art - Research Button field on the OE... surprisingly, even if Channel is a hero ability by default, it has a blank research button field... which is why it's kinda easy to forget to fill up that one...

Not sure if there is still confusion but:

Aadiktuz is right. An icon turns green when it cannot find the required icon.
If your icon works, but is green in hero skill box (when it is unable to be leveled), then it
is missing a "DISBTN" version of the icon. You will notice that when you press the menu
button to exit the game, the icon will also turn green.

When an ability is unable to be leveled or you are viewing the menu, it is usually
greyed out. This "darkening" effect of the icon is the "DISBTN" version of the icon
(a seperate icon to the normal BTN icon). Since you have no "DISBTN" the game cannot
find the required icon and reports an error (a green icon). Play a meele game and toggle
the menu and notice the darkening effect on icons.

To fix this, you simply need to import the "DISBTN" version of the icon with the
correct file path. Look at the tutorials posted above for the required paths.

If you wouldn't have told me, I would probably have never noticed that.
