Weapon Creation / Editing Weapon Icons
 
The controls used for editing the status bar icons that indicate the state of each weapon in the player's inventory are located in the Weapons Window's Icons tab. Each icon displays one of three images in the game, depending on whether the weapon is selected, not selected, or disabled.

Weapon icons are contained in image wells. For information on editing pictures in image wells, see the Using Image Wells part of the Common Production Tasks section. The placement of each weapon icon is specified in the Status Bar Window (see the Status Bar Placement part of the Status Bar Design section for more information.) The use of each control in the Weapon Types Window's icons tab is explained below.
