The image itself is only 36x36:

Presumably you want to make it bigger in which case you should edit the image itself to make it bigger.

 

[A.Chakery]

no its bigger itself .. I a photoshop designer and I designed it myself ... the original size is 80x80 but when I upload it using the custom node icon plugin .. it decreases the image size to 36x36. Its the problem that I am talking about

any ideas ?

The addon is probably resizing the image, you would have to try to upload it with FTP or similar, and see if that helps.

 

[A.Chakery]

thank you for he reply,

I know , but I noticed that other wbesites does not have such issue so I am looking for a way to solve it.

 

[MagnusB]

They are probably using CSS : http://xenforo.com/community/threads/different-forum-icons.33887/#post-385457

I honestly don't know a way around it except trying to upload it independent of the addon or check the addon options.

 

[A.Chakery]

unfortunately this add-on has no options ...

and no they are using the same plugin which I installed .. infact I suggested this plugin to them and now they are using it .. its so strange ...

 

[MagnusB]

Are you sure they are not just resizing it using CSS?

Also, I have never used this addon, so I don't know it, but can you specify a URL for the node icon, or are you forced to upload it via this addon? If you can, I would suggest you just upload the node icon using FTP, or follow Arty's suggestion as I linked above.

 

[MOZ]

Why don't you do this manually via CSS and skip the addon

 

[A.Chakery]

Yes I am sure he is using this add on

Well if it was my own website I woudln't. need such plugin but I am desining this website for someone else so I should look for a easy way for him

Thank you

What's making that look like an article ?
Do the categories work ?

It's XenPorta with Jaxel's articles tweak. Nice.

If a board should have, say, a few hundred forums, will this significantly impact performance? Should a board of our size use CSS instead, or are we safe to use this?

Or perhaps someone else knows or has experience?

I don't see an option to revert back to default?

Same here! Is there a way to do it manually?

 

[Kintaro]

No one can help me? :-(

uninstalled, I'm going to manually edit like this: custom forum node icons ? sprites?

I rarely go through all the add-on threads, which I don't use.... But if I'm not to late...

I personally could not get any of the sprites to work as expected. So I compromised

Example

/* custom status icons */
.nodeList .node.node_49 .nodeIcon { background-image: url('@imagePath/info.png');
}

With this code.... I ended up having the icon I like, but when someone post something new; the default skin icon shows. Which when you think about it; really is just a chat icon and is fitting.

in the post linked in my last post there's the CSS for read and unread nodes

I seem to lack how to properly get a sprite to work. And I guess all I was kind of hoping it would just "gray" its self out a little.

If you can get it working... All the better for you.
