Vic,

I presume for flashing? There have been some flashing icons available for many years. E.g. ?

I'm not sure just how to access them for use by other rule sets, but it should be possible.

Vic,
yes, I did it about two years ago, using a free software on my MacBook Air.

The icons (flashing aspect) were included in FS-1987 Signal System. How may I help you?

I have some SH icons I use as warning lights on my panel pro panel which I can make flash with the SH decoder settings.
I am adding LEDs to my hardwired control panel and want to make the LED flash since the SH Flashing heads don't actually flash.
I just want to add them to the other SH icon folder I already have added to.


 

Hi Lawrence:
?
Yes. ?I used GIMP on a MacBook to create animated mast icons for a "basic-enhanced" signal system I developed. ?My animated icons were for flashing heads and consisted of three images: light on, light off and light with rays to emphasize flash. ?GIMP allows setting time each image is displayed in the looped sequence.

One thing to note about animated GIFs is that they can't be scaled so if you are using anything other than 1:1 for your panels they won't work.
