Feature Request

Describe the solution / feature you'd like

Let's say we have an icon with some image, but we need to display it in different colors (green, yellow, red) depending on the value. We call the service icon_set_color(icon_name, r ,g ,b) which changes all significant points of the icon to the specified color. Those. instead of three (or more) icons, we only need one, and we can display it in different colors.

Hi, why not use the small bitmap command? I don't see the use case. Can you explain i little bit more or give a sample

andrewjswan commented 9 months ago

A bitmap is a way out, I agree, but only for static icons, and if we have an animated icon, for example lameid: 14429, then we won’t be able to use a bitmap.

lubeda commented 9 months ago

ok so you like to manipulate a dual color gif eg. black and red like in 14429 and you will change every red pixel to the specified color?

andrewjswan commented 9 months ago

Yes, but not everyone is red, and everyone is not black, i.e. If the color is displayed, change it to the one that is specified. And so on every call to this service.
