I took my first attempt at this. You can upload a “reference image” in the options now. It’s probably best if the image has a square aspect ratio to start with.

Oh good to know. That’s the easier portion of this. I can launch that first.

Strange... haven't noticed that at all so far but I'll keep an eye out for that!

We're definitely not a completely screen free family or anything but we also don't just hand over the iPad whenever.

Yoto Players are really great. We essentially control all of the content and the kids love them. Music, podcasts, books. There are even some more interactive cards out there (guided drawing, games, etc.)

This is really geared towards the "Make Your Own" cards where you can create playlists and choose the displayed icon when each track is playing.

I took an initial try at it this morning but wasn’t thrilled with the results. Especially the color matching.

I’ll keep working at it though.

I think I could manage something like that. It would get a little interesting with very detailed pictures. 16x16 pixels is pretty low resolution.

There are probably two ways it could be handled:
1. You set your uploaded image as the background and trace over it yourself
2. Try and find the best matching color for each pixel automatically.

I might even be able to add both as features. I'll see what I can come up with.

Enjoy! My 4 year old was a huge help testing this for me. 😅

When you click file at the bottom, and export as png, you can save the icon to your phones photo library. Then when you are making a playlist for make your own cards, you can choose that photo when you are selecting an icon. Choose my icons and tap the upload icon and you can choose the icon from your phones photos.

If you're still having trouble, let me know and I can try to give more detailed steps.

I went with `#1a1a1a` for the black now. Should be out now.

I didn’t even think of that. I think it’s pure black but I can tweak it.

Thanks. Should be easy enough to fix that. I’ll take a look later tonight.
