Custom Gallery Icon Pack (DA Colours)

Description

Icon Pack: click download for zip file

Since I made these personal gallery icons last night I've decided to make some for general use. I've used the dA colours as they seem like a good standard colour for the galleries. I went for blue rather than lime green because some of the buttons on site are blue (and also because I forgot about the lime green until just now :slow:)

The pack includes 8 files:
Top and Bottom (dark only)
Left and Right versions (dark, medium, light)

Make copies of each one you intend to use :B

To avoid constant questions, here is a tutorial that assumes you have no idea how to use these icons (Even now I feel like I haven't made this simple enough):

How to Use:
Creating the right order:
:bulletblue: Make sure your gallery folders are in the order you want before making labels, otherwise you'll be rearranging your gallery icons to make it look right
:bulletblue: Choose a pattern you want to use (I went with dark, medium, light, medium (as can be seen in the preview image)). Alternatively just use the same tone for each icon.
:bulletblue: Remember to follow this pattern: Top, left, right, left, bottom
So...
Folder 1: Top
Folder 2: Left
Every Odd Folder: Right
Every Even Folder: Left
Final Folder: Bottom
(This only works if you have an odd number of folders, sorry)


Adding Text:
:bulletblue: Open up the required template in your image editing software
:bulletblue: Use the text tool to write the text and position it over the blank box
:bulletblue: Save file as the gallery name it's for


Uploading as Gallery Icon:
:bulletblue: Go into your gallery
:bulletblue: Click on the right gallery folder
:bulletblue: Click on folder options
:bulletblue: Click on icon and then change icon
:bulletblue: Click on the file you created for it


Done

:bulletblue:Repeat the process for each gallery folder and the result should look something like mine: Look at the left :paranoid:

Free to use on dA
