As another step forward in usability, here is another simple template edit that uses the FAMFAMFAM Silk Icons for your editor buttons. These icons are in PNG format with alpha transparency so should look good on any background except pure black. Black doesn't work since most of the icons contain a lot of black.
If you have a lot of Internet Explorer 6 users, then you will need to install the following addon as well: PNG Transparency for Internet Explorer - This will enable Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 to utilize PNG Transparency through DirectX filters. This is not needed for Internet Explorer 7 or higher.
Features
PNG icons for Standard and WYSIWYG Editors
Cut, Copy and Paste enabled in Editor
Extra icons included for additional common BBCodes including superscript, subscript, audio, video, and horizontal rules.
Installation
Upload all images to yourforumpath/images/editor
Merge the style.xml file into each style you want to apply the changes to. This will only work on styles with unedited editor templates. If your editor templates are modified then you will need to revert them to apply this change. To do this follow the steps below.
Merging Styles
Go to Styles & Templates -> Download / UploadStyles.
In the Upload form, browse to the editor_png.xml file
For the Merge Into Style choose the style that these changes should be applied on.
Tell the system to ignore the version number (just in case).
Click Import.
Repeat for each additional style.

Hey dannykilla,
I get that same problem with the 3 template files out of date. Wayne might be able to clear it up, if I do the edit>save trick to stop them from showing out of date, does that actually mean the template files are out of date, or does it just turn off the warning (basiclly like putting take over the warning light)?
Thanks, love this plugin.
P.S: Does any one use this in conjunction with AME? I just started am worried about a conflict (I can't seem to find my AME CP).
Couldnt tell you m8, when I compared the 3 templates I couldnt see anthing that was added so not sure, I have just left them as it is, as I havent noticed any problems
Hope hat helps
