3.3.1 Preparing the gif file for icons
This section describes the gif file for icons, which is required to register custom PC jobs and custom Unix jobs.
- Software to use
-
Use a graphics editor that can handle graphics in gif format.
- Icon size
-
The maximum size of an icon is 32x32 pixels. However, if you create icons with the maximum size of 32x32 pixels, there is no room between the icons in the icon list in the Jobnet Editor window. Therefore, we recommend that you create icons in 30x30-pixel or a smaller area with a margin of at least one pixel placed around the area.
- Colors
-
-
The colors indicating the statuses (for example, red for abnormal termination and green for normal termination) are generated by applying an appropriate filter to a base color (RGB values of 255, 102, 255) in the program. Therefore, if you want to indicate the status in a portion of an icon, you must set the base color for the portion.
-
For the portions you want to make transparent, use a transparent color.
-
Depending on the display settings and the pallet you are using, JP1/AJS3 - View may be unable to correctly display the colors set with the graphics editor. Ensure that the colors you set are displayed correctly in JP1/AJS3 - View.

- Supplementary note
-
For details about drawing (such as setting the RGB values and setting transparent colors), see the documentation for the graphics editor you are using.
