Photoshop 6 Actions For Buttons

[Bald Bouncer]

I have now adjusted the actions to add extra buttons like top links and live chat, I have also corrected a few small problems.
These actions are for Photoshop 6 and to use them.
Extract the vb2gfxdev.zip to your windows desk top ( this is the vBulletin 2 Graphics Developer Kit downloaded from the members area) then extract the Buttons6.zip anywere you like.
Open photoshop 6 and go to the actions on the right hand side, go to the arrow at the top of these and scroll down to "load actions" now load in the actions from the zip file you extracted.
Highlight "start here" and press the play button at the bottom of the actions, now follow the onscreen instructions.
There are image instructions in the zip file at the start of this thread if you still have problems.
All the best Bald Bouncer

Thank you so much for making my life easier.

Changing the color of the buttons couldn't be easier, however, for those of us that use different styles, one of the easiest ways to do this is create a folder named after your particular style and copy the icons into that folder. I then reflected the new path in the control panel for the particular style.

This is how I have done it and it seems to work great, however, I have noticed the following images are not created (possibly due to missed steps in the action):

0stars.gif
announce.gif
clear.gif
dot_hotfolder.gif
dot_hotlockfolder.gif
dot_newhotfolder.gif
dot_newhotlockfolder.gif
hotfolder.gif
hotlockfolder.gif
lock.gif
menu_background.gif
multipage.gif
newhotfolder.gif
newhotlockfolder.gif
newpm.gif
next.gif
offlock.gif
on.gif
onlock.gif
paperclip.gif
poll.gif
posticonnew.gif
prev.gif
uinadd.gif
vb_bullet.gif

Also, what about including the actions for changing the colors of the icons in the following folders:

/icons
/polls
/attachments

This would allow one to completely customize the graphics per style.

I'm not sure what the turn around time is on something like this or whether it's a dropped project or not, but I just thought I would toss this out for those doing the updating.

The buttons I missed I considered to be standard colours on all sets although I thing there are a couple there I thought I had done or things like the menu_background could cause new users a few problems if they don't want a colour change.
I have written several other convertion actions Ie: for the smiles and the text but havn't yet put made them (here comes the buzz word) User Friendly.
I have made a new developement kit working from the actions to create a different look though and here is a sample.
These samples of two sets I have sent to Rocker Grrl and another set i'm now using on www.x-forums.com
