I recently installed LDM and really love this app, but I'd like to utilize my own icons instead of the stock ones. My site is dark - It utilizes multiple shades of grey.

I'm currently developing a bunch of 16x16 icons for my website, but I'm using .png instead of .gif. I decided to use PNGs because they render shadows much better than GIFs. I can create an icon with a drop shadow and use the same icon on both a white or a dark colored website.

Can someone tell me whether it's possible to utilize a .png icon with LDM? If I only need to edit a template or two (or more) that's fine - I just need to know which ones.

Thanks!

Currently, LDM is 'hard coded' to use gifs. However, it's a minor change to the current version, and I'll make this standard from the next release.

Edit includes/local_links_include.php

Find function get_icons()

Six lines later, edit the line

if (preg_match("/(.*?).gif/", $file, $matches)) {

to read

if (preg_match("/(.*?).(gif|jpg|png)/", $file, $matches)) {

Find the line

$linkfavicon = mk_file_name($links_defaults['file_icons_dir'],'myfav.gif');

and change myfav.gif

Find the line

$linkediticon = mk_file_name($links_defaults['file_icons_dir'],'pencil.gif');

and change pencil.gif

That should do it, I think.
