Replacing Icons

Notice the halo around these icons.

That is because the original icon was "matted" for a light background. We need to use a graphical editor such as Photoshop or Fireworks and matt it to our current dark background color.

You can download the Photoshop files of the subSilver icons at the very bottom of http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php

Then use Photoshop to open subSilver_big_folder.psd and re-create the folder_big.gif file which is the icon shown above.

Other icons are in other PSDs. Remember that there may be many icons in different layers of one PSD file.

Replacing Icons

If you want to replace any of the icons with your own creation, simple replace the files in templates/siteScheme/images and templates/siteScheme/images/lang_english.

Remember to replace the subSilver paths as shown below to the siteScheme path of the image.
