Kad imate, dakle ovakvu jednu bitmapu, editujete je kao i svaku drugu sliku, u nekom od grafičkih programa koji vam se dopada. Ja koristim ponekad, na primer, Fireworks i ovi su gornji glifovi modifikovani u njemu.

Ono na šta treba obratiti pažnju je: a) da je svaki glif smešten u vlastiti prostor od 25 x 25 piksela i da ne šarate izvan njega; b) da treba da vodite računa i o tome da svojeručno izrađen glif centrirate tačno na mesto na kome je stajao u originalu, ili će vam, kad startujete TB, sve to jako čudno izgledati. Morate se dakle strogo pridržavati reda kojim su svi glifovi poređani i taj poredak ne smete menjati.

Način editovanja je nešto o čemu ne bih govorio, jer to zavisi od vaše vlastite kreativnosti i ideja. U principu, postoje tri osnovne "tehnike", koje sam i sâm koristio: a) "golo" crtanje (uzmeš pa crtaš na praznom "papiru"); b) snimanje (capture) ikona sa nekih drugih mesta (recimo iz drugih mailera i aplikacija) i c) modifikovanje tih snimljenih ikona (šaranje po njima dok ne dobijem ono što mi treba).

Kad ste sve to završili i želite da vidite kako izgleda u samom programu, onda, da ponovimo: svoj rad, bitmapu (koja obavezno mora da se zove glyphs.bmp), stavite u direktorijum gde se nalazi vaš thebat.exe i [re]startujete TB. I to je to. Vaš TB treba sad da pokaže nove glifove koje ste napravili.

Prijatna zabava!

When you have, therefore, such a bitmap, you edit it as any other picture, in some of graphic programs you like. I use sometimes, for instance, Fireworks and these glyphs above are modified by this program.

This what you should pay attention at is: a) that each glyph is placed in the own space of 25 x 25 pixels and that you shouldn't scribble beyond this field; b) that you should take care of this that you center your own handmade glyph exactly in the place it's been standing in original, or all of that will, when you start TB, look very bizarre. You must, therefore, closely follow the order in which the glyphs are aligned and this order you may not change.

Editing method is something I wouldn't speak about, since it depends on your own creativity and ideas. In general, there are three basic "techniques", which I tapped myself: a) "naked" drawing (you take and draw on empty "paper", "from the scratch"); b) capturing from some other places (let's say from other mailers and applications) and c) modifying those captured icons (scribbling over them until I get what I need).

When you have finished all of that and want to see how it looks in the program, then, let's repeat: your work, the bitmap (which strictly must be named glyphs.bmp), you place in the folder where your thebat.exe resides and [re]start TB. And that's it. Your TB should show now the new glyphs you made.

Have a fun!
