Disgaea: Hour of Darkness Wallpaper [Windows Icon] [Windows Icon (With Border)] Xerain

Two Sets of Disgaea Character Face Icons, one set with a border, one set without. These are "Multi Icons" Meaning each Icon file actually has 4 icons of varying size in it for maximum clarity when changing Icons sizes. The sizes contained are 16 by 16, 32 by 32, 48 by 48, and 64 by 64.

Tools Used: First I used Irfan View to batch resize all the images at the varying sizes I would be using. Then for the bordered versions I used it to batch crop on pixel of of the right and bottom. Then, working in subsets of matching sizes, I loaded up all the Icons of a given size in The Gimp 2.2 using Open as layer. Then I made the border and transparent shadows on a new top layer. I then saved as PNG, hid the layer, saved as PNG, hid the layer, saved as PNG, etc for all 60 for each size. (I hit Save As and typed in the file name 240 times, not counting the fact that I screwed up the 64 by 64 sub set once and had to resave all of them, bringing the total to 300.) Finally, I drag and dropped all the files into Icon Sushi, and had them all named such that the various sizes of each character would be grouped together, eg, Disgaea 01 16, Disgaea 01 32, etc. I did use Renamer a couple times during this project to get all the names just right for this phase. Anyhow, inside Icon Sushi I selected the groups of 4 and exported as multi Icon. This put the 4 sizes into one Icon file. Then finally I used renamer to Rename all the Icon files as I saw fit.

For the non bordered versions, which were completed first, I used the same process, but using the uncropped image and sans the step involving The Gimp.

Holy crap the quarter is almost already over... That's a scary thought. Especially when I still have a number of projects to finish for one of my classes.

I did some poking around online for the program Xerain used to convert the png files into icons and found the programs site here: @icon sushi. I haven't had a chance to play around with it myself but I'm sure other people will be interested to check it out.
