    Hi

    I'm trying to customise a node by giving it a new icon. I converted an image PNG file into an .ico file of 256 pixels, and copied it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Lavastorm\LAE 4.6\lib\brain\bre folder. I can see it in the icon menu, but when I select it, I get an error: StainAlpha: Bitmap is not instantiated

    What might I be doing wrong? Do you have any suggestions on the creation of high resolution icons for use within Lavastorm?

    Thanks.

    By 256 pixels, do you mean 16 x 16? You'll want to save your image as .bmp (or start with a .bmp image) before converting to .ico with a resolution of at least 32 x 32. This should resolve the "StainAlpha: Bitmap is not instantiated" error you are seeing.
