Yep, I tried that but still like version 5 and the way they use to handle it.

Go into Program Options / Device States, and change everything to "Shape - Square". I didn't really get on with the new shapes as it makes the maps look messy, so this was one of the first things I changed back to the old style.

Just the device icon not a background shape. To each his/her own I guess.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Anthony Valuikas Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 5:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Creating Custom Icons Second that.. ! I played with the vector editor... Something better and I would crank them out... You know I even suggested that they push it out to the folks that took the Visio Stencils over... They could really make it happen.... Time for a format change I think... Also they need to go back to the colored icons like it was in version 5 and not the background color/shape for the icons like it is now. When you have a lot of device on a map the way it is now cuts down on the usable space not to mention version 5 looked more professional.

Others have gone as far as posting new custom icons on the WUG portal to share with us. This is great, but ... Come on IPSwitch, I know you have developers that probably have in their spare time or are willing to knock down some of the low hanging fruit. Perhaps this is not a high priority for them like Instant Messaging, but I for one would be willing to pay a little bit more for this in the next version (9). Are you listening to your customers? Add this to the wish list pile. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 2:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Creating Custom Icons Visio works good. I used it to convert over a bunch of Cisco icons. You can do whatever you want and then "save as" in .emf format. The only catch is that if the artwork is not square then WhatsUp will distort the aspect ratio to make it square, which won't look too good in most cases. But it's real easy to get around this by just enclosing everything inside an invisible square box before you save it. I'm attaching the Cisco icons for whoever might like them. And Cisco has the full original set on their web site too. If you don't have Visio, there is a free program called EVE <http://www.goosee.com/index.shtml> that might work, and if you're looking for just a plain viewer, try here: <http://www.siliconwold.com/emfview/index.htm?sl> Anything that can work with .emf files should be good.

I have found the vector editing tool severely lacking. Anyone had any luck maybe using Fireworks or PS? Thanks! Chris DeBella Sr. Network Engineer CCLD, Inc.
