New icons

[Nikel]

A few high resolution new NCP icons.

This is how the look in vista 1920x1200 screen resolution. Hope you like them

To use them, unzip the .ico files. Right click in the NCP shortcut in your desktop. Click on properties, change icon and browse to where you unzipped the .ico files. Choose the one you like.

If you do not want to keep it, to restore the original, do the same and browse to where your NCP is installed (usually "C:\Program Files\Napoleon's Campaigns") and select the .exe

Very nice!
I like the middle one best
I guess they would work in XP too, don't they?

[Nikel]

I think they should, but no XP system here, so cannot tell for sure

They can be used with icons set to extralarge, but this is not very usable even at 1920x1200

Speaking of strange vogues... you new mustached avatar is really disturbing!

BTW, Nikel, it's never too late to say your icons are great.

The last two portraits looks great!

[Nikel]

Thanks arsan, it is the quality of the original portrait what does the job.

Thiebault was very difficult to find, well was just casual, I had another portrait but was not very good

[picaron]

Big portraits , I have changed the programs for place them in the game

Posted in the napoleon series for those interested

With Tardieu lithographs, not of very good quality, but fortunately there are other sources for his lithographs

Hello Nikel,

Do you mind if I include previous portraits in next NCP Database Issue Release ?

[Nikel]

Hi Bohémond


Of course, feel free to use them as you want.

By the way you need an avatar

[Pocus]

with or without a disturbing mustache?

[Bohémond]

Thank you Nikel,

A avatar ? yes maybe, I'm going to start looking for one

I think it will be a beard.

Regards

Bohémond
