Uploading New Icons
* In-game icons are 32x32 pixels exact replica from NPC's shop or your inventory. Unequip items to remove the red border!
* File name MUST be in the form <code>Item-icon-xxxxxx.png</code>. For example <code>Item-icon-amethyst.png</code>.
** '''Because when you hover over an icon, it will display textthe name of the picture's file, name 2+ worded items with spacesmore than 1 word get mushed together (ex. Example: crab Meat, not crabmeat. In png -> shows up as Crabmeat when hovered over). A way to fix this example, is to give it a <span style="crab Meatcolor:red;" will display as >label tag</span>: "icon|crabmeat|label=Crab Meat" when you hover over an the -> {{icon on the wiki, while "|crabmeat|label=Crab Meat}} <span style=" will display as color:red;"Crabmeat". I feel it's just annoying to see the words mushed together and not as nice looking. Also, the first letter is always capitalized, but other letters are not, so write accordingly.'''>NOT</span> {{icon|crabmeat|}}
* Use a short generic label for generic and common icons. For example:
** Use "book" not "Fire Magic: Introductory Research" since most skill teaching books have the same book icon.
** Use "seeds" not "dahliaseeds" since most seeds in-game have the same icon.
*** '''(Possibly a <span style="color:red;">BAD </span> habit to do because item icons may change... just create a new file with the exact name of the item. Example: crab MeatIn the above example, [[Dahlia Seeds]] have a different icon than [[Bluebell Seeds]]; probably changed since the above was written, instead of crab)which proves my point.'''
* In alpha there are no icons that need more than 256 color. Save the SMALLEST file size , 8 bit PNG.
* <span style="color:red;">'''Please document any new icons below, otherwise kittens die!!'''</span>
