How change/get non-standard background color for icon

[hreintke]

Hi,

I'd like to create recipe icons which have a different background than the default grey.

When I use the tint option, the icon itself get updated color.
Searching I found the color option but that seems not to have effect.

Code: Select all

icons = {
       	   {
		icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/crude-oil.png",
		icon_size = 32,
		tint = {b = 0,g = 0,r = 1,a = 0.1},
		color = {b = 1,g = 0, r = 1}
	  }	
	 },

Does anyone have a working example or a link to correct documentation ?

The background color is dictated by the GUI they are in, in the recipe icon itself, the background is transparent.

OK, clear.

Thanks for the info.

Why I need icon_size in the item.icon_size, when I haven't icon, but icons?

For example it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

item.icons[1].icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/empty-barrel.png" 
item.icons[1].icon_size = 32 
item.icons[2].icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-side-mask.png" 
item.icons[2].icon_size = 32 

But this works:

Code: Select all

item.icon_size = 32
item.icons[1].icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/empty-barrel.png" 
item.icons[2].icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/fluid/barreling/barrel-side-mask.png" 

Why icon_size has no deal with icons?

Why icon_size has no deal with icons?

Because the engine doesn't support icon layers with different sizes?
