Only way of removing and adding images to a theme is by editing the theme.txt file. How do you remove them completely without using the computet? can you do it like that?

When I get a chance I'll make a video on how to do it. The second method will be much harder but will yield better results.
The other method would be to actually recolor them using the brush, pencil, and paint bucket tools.
The colors can be changed easily by adjusting the Hue/Saturation (Ctrl+U), make sure "Colorize" is enabled. Umm just like the black or the pink ones that come in your pack I just want to learn how to change there color using photoshop cs3. It would be confusing to make a video creating all of them. Specify which icons you're more interested in creating and I'll try to make a video on how to do it. I was wondering could you show how to make the 3D look Icons like in you Icon pack so that way I can change the color of them. I'll prob make a video on how to do it next time I make one of these icons. This is not that hard but it can be confusing if you're not familiar with Photoshop or GIMP. I overlay pictures on top of my default IM icon, for example I'll extract the Joker's hair and overlay it on top of my IM icon, then I'll recolor the IM icon to match the Joker's face.

If you're watching this video to learn how to make icons for your Sidekick themes, you should download one of the theme templates below:īut how do you make your IM look like the Joker, Hancock, Batman, Helboy, etc. This video is no way near a tutorial on how to extract images (remove backgrounds), there are hundreds of ways to extract images, If you do not know how to extract images, I suggest you watch videos on how to do it because in this video I'll use the simplest method which does not necessarily yield the best results. If you're watching this video I assume you already know Photoshop/GIMP basics and I will not go into detail about resizing and fitting the images. Part 1 of the video shows how to do it on Photoshop & Part 2 shows how to do it on GIMP. In the video below I will show you how to add the alpha channel to regular images so that they can be saved in PNG format and used as icons. Formats that support the alpha channel include PNG, ICO, PSD, GIF and others, for Sidekick themes you only need to work with the PNG format. The theme creator does not remove backgrounds for you, so do not expect to get an icon with a transparent background from there unless that's what you're sending. I've seen many themes posted with icons with a squared black/white background, that is becuase they have uploaded JPG or BMP files to the theme creator on the SkLX/ SkSlide websites. If you were to save that same icon in JPG or BMP format the transparent background will become white, that is because JPG and BMP do not store alpha channel information. If you look at the default instant message icon image on your Sidekick you will see a yellow smiley, but if you open the image in Photoshop or GIMP you will see the yellow smiley inside a squared transparent background. When you add the alpha channel to a regular image you can make parts of that image be transparent or semi-transparent. The alpha channel is used to represent up to 256 levels of transparency. The only difference between regular images and icons is that regular images do not contain an alpha channel. therefore any image can be converted into an icon. Icons are just small images used to represent a program, file, and etc. Making icons for the Sidekick is the same as making icons for any other purpose.
