    Thanks Rupp, that did the trick. As I noted in my previous post, the new settings had some varying effects on third party plugin icons. The Blade icons and the Doolittle icons stayed at 16x16 and were not scaled to the default 24x24. The ACRF2 icons which are native 16x16 were upscaled to 24x24 resulting in a blurry icon. Not sure how the 3rd party community will support the new icons (multiple sizes, scalable icons?, nothing) but I expect this will force some to keep the 16x16 size since some of the plugins are less developed these days.
    Hopefully the plugin authors are testing their plugins with the new betas as much has changed. You may want to mention this issue with these plugin owners in case they did not see the release notes or see this thread.

      Is HomeSeer still sending e-mails to plug-in authors about new beta releases and new features? I have not seen an email in a *long* time. I am waiting for some type of communication from HomeSeer indicating they have a stable beta.

        Mark,

        I am a bit disappointed to see HomeSeer 2.4 was released without any type of communication to HomeSeer developers. The status icon change is what is causing me the most grief. The 16 x 16 gif icons I include in all my plug-ins look terrible in HomeSeer 2.4 and I see no way to change it back to 16 x 16 without having to edit the settings.ini.

        When you get a moment, can you answer the following questions?
        1. There are 3 ways to display status icons. Using graphic/values, devicestring using an HTML img tag or letting HomeSeer figure out if an image exists matching the devicestring. Does HomeSeer 2.4 adjust the images height and width in all cases? If not, when does HomeSeer automatically adjust the status icon image size?
        2. When using HomeSeer device graphics/values, do I configure the HomeSeer devices to use the .png icons or should I just rename the .png icons to .gif?
        3. When using the HTML img tag within the HomeSeer DeviceString, do I need to include the height and width attribute?
        4. If I provide 32 x 32 icons with my plug-ins, how do I need to configure the status icon to make sure it displays 16x16 in HomeSeer 2.3?

          I notice that on the device page there is a facility to "Edit Value Statis / Graphic Pairs" which I presume allows you to select the graphics you with to associate to that device.

          I presume for the graphic file you have to type in the full path to the picture for each value. Could someone remind me what the value's are for on off and dimmed.

            OK I have managed to get HS to set the icon to the one I wish, problem is if I do that it removed the on/off buttons in the stat menu!

              <<facility to "Edit Value Statis / Graphic Pairs" >>

              I have a similar issue, but I am unable to find the edit faciilty you are refering to. How does one navigate to this screen?

                It is part of the device config screen, down the bottom, but apparently only available in Pro.

                    I like the new icons.
                    I only miss one "pause" it ould be nice to have one that is the same look as the other mediaplayer/itunes icons.

                      option to assign a new icon to a given device?

                      I see the new Icons after the upgrade.. dumb question.. how do you change them. All of my devices still show just the (newer) bulb icon. Is there a setting option to assign a new icon to a given device?

                        There are several ways to do this, you can either use your own icon and replace the current one, set your own icon using the hs.setDeviceString scripting call, use one of the plugins made to do this or use the but in status value pairs if you have HomeSeer Pro.

                          9/21/2009 Edit. I've attached the new icons to this post. Just backup your existing icons first and then unzip HS-New-Icons.zip and copy the icons into that folder.[/quote]

                          What happened to the motion icon? I have seen the others, but not that one with my X10 motion detector.

                            Hi
                            Ive placed the script" hs.setDevicestring "D2", "<img src=no motion.gif>"in the edit value status/graphic pairs under display status then placed the path of the graphic in the graphics file but still no icon. It just takes away the bulb and on off buttons Can you tell me what im doing wrong. Also how do you make one for off and one for on. im using HSPRO
