Loading factory skins:

Icarus3 comes with 27 styles/skins for the GUI you can select them in 'setup'-> 'Select skin'. Then restart the plugin.


Creating your own skins:

PC:

- Go to 'setup' and select 'Default' as skin

- Create a file ...\Icarus_data\Icarus3SkinLarge.png . The size must be 2505 x 1470 pixels


Mac:

- Go to 'setup' and select 'Default' as skin

- Open Icarus.vst and replace bmp00268.png.  The size must be 2505 x 1470 pixels

I still use my faithfull Full HD screen  :(

Are there plans to make it possible for other sizes like 66%....?

I'll use the Aqua ones if/until then, they also look good.

Thx for sharing the images and photoshop project ;)

It will also work with your full hd screen. It scales down automatically.

Good morning, I wasn't able to make it work  :-[

I switched to default skin -> then got the 2505x1470 pixels PNG to icarus_data folder -> and restarted Icarus Standalone.

Maybe there's something going on, could it be something like the PNG bit depth or something like that?

Or do we have to select the 100% Default skin after Copying the PNG to Icarus_data folder? (i can't do that because size it's too big)

I checked it out.

On PC custom skins did work in the early beta, but the code for loading custom skins does not longer work in the release version.
I'll have to fix this for v3.1. Sorry about the confusion.

You'll have to use v2.5 for skinning or the Mac version. I'll take care of it in the next version.
