They look more orange to me, but yeah. Make it so much easier to see who needs a fortune buff!
Yeah the vet powers look orange to me, but that's fine. Makes them easily identifiable.
Yeah, I'll probably change the description to "amber" for the next round of updates...
Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Excellent work, Vanden.
Just one tiny request, though. If you concur, could you make the Self Destruction button look a little more different than the Nuclear Blast (Warburg Missile)? I'm sure you'll see the problem if one mistakes one for the other. 
May I suggest that the Self Destruction button have a red icon on a yellow background to distinguish it from the red on white Blast button?
Thanks.

I dig the icon color change for the Booster Pack powers
Thanks a lot for that!

May I suggest a change to the Mission Teleporter icon?
Use the same color scheme as the other Booster Pack icons, but change the symbol to this.
While the teleport symbol is appropriate and correct, using a unique inner symbol will allow it to more easily be distinguished from other teleport icons.

What program can open and edit these?
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Just a heads-up to everyone who likes this mod: it's been updated, and it's a big update. Enjoy!
I'd ask you to up-rep GuyPerfect for his major contribution to the icon pack, but he has rep disabled, so instead I'll say to remember to thank him at least as much as you thank me, however much that may be.

Not into the whole rep thing, but thanks a ton Vanden for continuing to do this, and thanks Guy for the help!

You can still up-rep those with rep turned off. They can read the comments if they want or ignore them. And if they ever turn rep back on, the history of +/- rep will still affect their status.
IOW, you can never really 'turn it off', you can only set it 'not to show.'

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.

This power works just like Soul Transfer in Dark Armor and (as of Issue 16) Dark Mastery for Defenders... it requires nearby enemies to work, which makes it a PBAoE and not an only-affects-self power. Instead of removing the border from Stygian Return, I motion that the border be added to Soul Transfer.

And yeah, I've received rep since I've had it disabled. And still the only bad thing I've gotten was because I replied to a PK thread. (-:

True, but the rez portion of the power (which is what the inner symbol shows), affects the caster, and I like to make the border (which shows what the power will affect) match the inner symbol (which shows what effect the power will have). That's the same logic I used when changing the inner symbol on Power Sink and Energy Drain to the endurance drain symbol.

If that's the case, then the overlay should be changed to the generic damage icon. The power is most definitely a PBAoE attack and only works with at least one enemy around.

Inherent/Brawl changed to have "miner damage melee" inner symbol Inherent_Brawl.texture |
Also, I believe that the Vengeance type powers should have a corpse below the buff symbol. They'd then better represent the effects of the power (a "corpse buff").

Well that would just be confusing, I think, since the point of the power is the rez.

Hm, can you check if IceBlast_FrostBreath.texture exists in your Powers folder? Beef Cake probably just missed it when he was making the installer.

Yep. Texture not there. May want to double-check what's in the installer vs. what is on the change list.|

BTW, can the next round of changed icons convert the all the versions of Ice Patch from a Knockback icon to a Knockdown icon?
Also, check to see if Cold Domination - Arctic Fog is in the installer. It's showing a defense buff icon in my game currently.
