Using A Wallpaper As Mod Icons

I was working on my own personal skin and thought about doing something special with the mod icons, so I decided to make a little template which allows you to use (resized) widescreen wallpapers as mod icons.



Template
Modicons:
http://puu.sh/5dqa8.xcf
http://puu.sh/79NOV.psd psd provided by Hatsune Chiyo

NEW Menuicons:
http://puu.sh/9v6dz

How to use the template
1. Delete and replace the 'Background' layer with any image you want (resized widescreen wallpapers will fit best)
2. Enable opacity on the 'Foreground' layer
3. Switch back to the Background layer
4. Select any of the squares, copy it, paste it as a new image, add text and save it
5. Repeat 4 for every mod icon
(The template can of course be adjusted and moved around to your will. Also note that it is designed for 65x65 icons)

PS: The squares are in chronological order from the ingame menu, so if you are unsure just go ingame and check
PPS: If you use this I'd appreciate it if you credit me, although it is not needed.
PPPS: The template is off by a few pixels, please don't kill me

... It would have a more logical placement inside the Skinning Tutorial thread if you ask me.

I wish I found this template before doing it myself >w<!!~
Something similar also looks nice on the buttons on the song selection page:
