Instructions on how to create new icon collections

  1. Clone the file rancilio-pid\icon_simple.h to a custom filename, eg icon_myown.h .
  2. Use gimp of any other "paint" program to create 45x45 pixel black/white .xbm files.
  3. Open created .xbm files with any word-editor and paste the hex-codes into the specfic section in icon_myown.h . Following sections/pictures are supported:
    • coldstart
    • outer_zone (>1 degree off from setpoint)
    • brew_acceptable (<0.3 degree off from setpoint)
    • brew_ready (<0.3 degree off from setpoint for at least 40seconds)
    • brewing (brew is detected)
    • steam (steam is ready/in-progress)
  4. Change the define ICON_COLLECTION in userConfig.h to 1.
  5. Overwrite icon_smiley.h with our created file icon_myown.h .
  6. Send me your icon collection, so that I can add it permanently in future versions. Existing collections are shown here:
