Need a little help fixing some icons

Hint: make it a power of 2 width/height size. It helps on VRAM memory management and texture compression.

Don't you think I know that?
 

These are icons for the toolbar, I don't have a choice about the size

Yes, you have. :-)

The images I linked works but I didn't tested without using ToolbarControl (as I made it a dependency) - so, there's a chance that the stunt is being applied by ToolbalControl, not exactly by Squad's code.

Lots of things changed on 1.4.x series. You perhaps just had missed one of them.

The problem is that older mods use the following to load the images:

 (Texture)GameDatabase.Instance.GetTexture("filename")

which doesn't work well due to what you said.  KSP/Unity is trying to load and compress those images, and since they aren't a power of 2, they get fuzzy.

The ToolbarController doesn't use that method, so the icons don't get more fuzzy than they already are.

And, this thread was asking for someone to redo the icons for me, I'm not a graphics person and want a better set of icons than what enlarging 24x24 to 38x38  would provide

(I think I misread the last post - I'm retesting things here. My post was deleted to prevent further confusion)

Get Irfanview, it's a free image viewer but it has a pretty extensive suite of simple editing tools for cropping, resizing and the like.  perfect if all you need to do is change a pic's dimensions.

 

I use it all the time, because surprisingly you can't do that very precisely in Photoshop Elements.

Done. But thanks

I have Paint Shop Pro 7 for things like that, thanks
