Unit icon creation tutorial petition

[Glenn Saunders]

Nope - any image editing program will work, I created a number of unit images years ago just using Paint - and no knowledge of the sizes, I just slapped them together and they seemed to work okay, although not pretty.

Right

The things to remember is:

- MUST be a BMP (not JPGs and other graphic file formats
- Filename of the BMP must match the component name
(be careful using characters like " or periods in the component name which can't match the BMP file name)
- background color doesn't matter as long as it is one solid color

Where fancy editors like Photoshop come in handy is with super imposing two images over top one another on a solid background.
