Marine Aquarium Time LOGO Support
Since the Time/Logo/Crystal feature is now going to be built into the main Aquarium product, can we PLEASE see this feature cleaned up?
I know that Prolific added the ability to import monochrome BMP files of just about any size and the Aquarium resizes the logo and lets the user place the logo on the crystal. But there are many many problems:
At the very least I would like to see a Remove Logo button. 3 levels of difficulty here: 1) Delete the BMP logo if one exists or send a shell request to open the Program Files\Marine Aquarium Time\ folder so users can manage their logos. 2) Display the filename of the last displayed logo (BMP or multi-PNG) and prompt to delete the file. 3) Create a logo picker. I think choice 2 is a good compromise in programming difficulty. I would like the functionality of the Import Logo button extended to include PNG files. It would simply check the dimensions of the image to make sure it is a valid PNG and then copy them to the appropriate dir. And it would automatically delete the built-in BMP logo. |
Came up again today. I created some logos for someone and it takes 2-3 e-mails for me to explain to them that the [Import Logo] button doesn't work for the purpose of loading PNG logos. I appreciate the effort that Prolific put into supporting BMP logos, but PNG is really where it's at quality-wise.

I hear you. People really have problems discerning between 1-bit/2-color black & white and greyscale.
|
It would be logical...
You mean it isn't completely explained in the documentation, and in the online help?
|
What documentation? What online help?
|
How do you remove the Prolific logo??
Is it possible? thanks |

F12 toggles the showing of all logos if registered.

Thank you

I have read the tutorial and am trying things. When the time clock first came out, I'm positive I was able to put in a colour image, but I don't remember how I did it. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Forget above post, I just realized it had to do with desaturating the image.
Thanks. scott |

Either use the Attachment system (click Go Advanced and scroll down to 'Manage Attachments') or put the file up on your website and link to it from there. |

The Prolific logo will remain until you successfully add a logo to Marine Aquarium in one of these 2 methods: 1. Click Import Logo in the Aquarium and feed it a black-and-white (not greyscale, not color, not half-toned, but a 2 COLOR: black & white image) BMP file. The results are fair at best. 2. Create a 256 x 256 24-bit (not Indexed) with 8-bit transparency (32-bit) color, greyscale, etc. PNG file and place it in C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Marine Aquarium ******. The ****** is whichever version of the Aquarium that supports logos (Time, MA 2.6, etc.). |

It was because my previous profile can't post attachment. The Lara Legend Logo file can be downloaded at: http://wttfcweb02.netvigator.com/fil...oan%2FLogo.dat After downloading, replace the file at c:\Program Files\Marine Aquarium 2.6\Logo.dat Hope anyone likes Lara as I do. BTW, It's really hard to make a logo in 2.6. |
So you gave up on doing a PNG?

Hi,
New member here. I'm trying to create a custom logo for MA2.6 but continually get the error message stating that the logo must be in a black and white .BMP file. I have successfully created logos in MA2 using the instructions where the logo is saved as a .PNG file and uploaded them into the application, but MA2.6 won't let me do that. I'm using PS6 and would appreciate a workaround to accomplish this. Thanks. |
What I don't understand is why this question comes up so often.
The Import Logo button DOES NOT WORK. Somewhere I must be failing to make this point. What instructions did you use? |
I'm significantly revising the Logo Download page as well as the Logo Creation Guide. But something tells me I will always receive these e-mails. That "Import Logo" button is so tempting.
