Provided Icon Glyphs Size Problem...

Status: Declined
Issue was fixed with a sync to the glyph library on ni.com

All the provided glyphs in the ...\LabVIEW Data\Glyphs\ folders are 32x32 PNG files.  Even if the actual glyph itself is smaller.  The Icon Editor in LabVIEW 2012 centres on the glyph 32x32 image and therefore whether the actual glyph graphic is smaller than 32x32 you can only put it in the top left quarter of the icon.

 

Try it with LabVIEW Data\Glyphs\Actions\unsupport.png and try to put the glyph in the bottom right hand corner.  You can't!

 

They all need resizing to the actual size of the glyph.

 

I have created and used glyphs 15x15, 20x20 and other sizes and the Icon Editor loads them without issues, and the cursor is central to the glyph.

 

Thanks.

Edit to above.  I have managed to get the XML file and install the NI.com sync'ed icons, and the ones I have tried are all centred correctly.

I did fix something.  You can find details and a workaround here.  It is the first comment on the page.
