PhotoLine UI Icons Customization Project

[shijan]

beta 90
In this version icons structure in PLD file optimized for 22.90b13. Some icons may display incorrectly in earlier versions of PhotoLine. In some UI places icons may look blurred because they are aligned to 14/16/18 pixel grid instead of original pixel perfect 15/17/19 grid. On Windows due some unknown problems with transparency, white outline in cursors may generate artifacts.
Filename "PicturesUser.pld" now used instead of "PicturesSimpleUser.pld", so you need to change icons set in preferences to make it work.

- "SMS" and "vCard" icons
- Slightly improved "Distort Wavy","Page Curl" and 3D Body Rotation icons.
- other small fixes.

Just a side note: If you are replacing every icon with your custom pictures/cursors file, you don't have to name it "PicturesUser.pld"/"CursorsUser.pld". You can use "Pictures.pld"/Cursors.pld" instead.

This reduces startup times a bit, though I don't know if it's noticeable.

Thanks for tip! Just checked - 3 vs 4 seconds startup time on my fast computer and SSD. So i try to use name Pictures.pld

[shijan]

Seems it not so simple When i use name Pictures.pld instead of PicturesUser.pld some custom icons are ignored and some icons are distorted.

By the way, is there an icon number for "File->New->Letter" icon? I can't find it in Strings.str at all.

This is a document template. It should be 9800.

In 22.90b15 there is no more problem with distorted tiny icons when i use name Pictures.pld instead of PicturesUser.pld.
But it is still impossible to use Pictures.pld on macOS because in this situation some icons reads from original PicturesMac.pld.
In my custom icons set i combined icons from Pictures.pld PicturesMac.pld in one single universal PicturesUser.pld file and PhotoLine reads them all from there on macOS and Windows.

So if for some reason you want to use custom icons file named as Pictures.pld on macOS you need to delete file /Applications/PhotoLine.app/Contents/Resources/PicturesMac.pld (and probably also CursorsMac.pld) or rename it to something like PicturesMac-.pld CursorsMac-.pld

I don't recommend modifying the contents of PhotoLine.app. At some point that might trigger Apple's security features.

IMHO the better solution is to place an empty PicturesMac.pld next to your custom Pictures.pld in "~/Library/Preferences/PhotoLine/Help".

Yep, it works, but i guess using PicturesUser.pld is still simplest and safest way to go
