TobyD Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was stumbling around the internet today and found the Dataact Icon Editor. The screenshot makes it look pretty good, but it looks as though the site has not has any activity in almost a year (based on the forum posting dates). Does anyone know what happened and/or if the icon editor is still available somewhere. I even guessed the link to the download page and was able to download the icon editor, but the VI's are locked and there must be a date check in the code because when I try to run it I get a msgbox that says the verson has expired. Just curious... Quote Link to comment

Just curious... I went through my archives and dug out the DataAct editor and got the same result you did. brian175 was the creator of this software you might want to drop him a PM asking for help.

I actually got a reply from him (sent a request through his website). He sent me a link to the LV 8.5 installer and I got the icon editor up and running. It has some pretty cool features, like layers and alpha channel support. It still needs some work but he's off to a great start. The only problem with a program like this is that it tempts me to spend an hour on every icon because there is a lot of cool stuff that can be done. Quote Link to comment

Can you post the link? Quote Link to comment
TobyD Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 QUOTE(mballa @ Jan 16 2008, 03:07 PM) Can you post the link? Yes. Here is the Link to the LabVIEW 8.5 DataAct Icon Editor Installer. After the install, mass compile C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\project\DataAct\_DataAct.IconEditor. Also, Brian requested that any bug reports and/or feature requests be posted to the DataAct Forums. Quote Link to comment
