PANEL DECALS
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2009 2:05 pmHow do you apply printing to a panel? I just installed some light switches to a panel that had none and I would like to label them so that they look professional.
If it's a 2D panel.. locate the panel background bitmap in the panel folder.. open with an editor (like PaintShopPro), and edit away ..
If it's a VC.. it's a little trickier. The theory is the same (edit the bitmap), but it's not always clearly named. It would most likely be an extended bitmap with a "C" in the name (filename_C.xxx)
The extension will tell you what type of file it is (extended bitmap or DDS). Those require something like DxtBmp, or ImageTool, to open.
Be aware there might be an alpha channel.. and if it's a DDS file, there is the "flipping"
