To Create a Track Icon
1. Create or edit a graphics file in .bmp format, preferably 128 by 128
pixels.
You can use any image as a track icon. You can use any size image,
but for best results scale the image to 128 pixels square. Images must
be in the .bmp format.
2. Save the image as a .bmp file in the Track Icons directory in your
SONAR program folder.
Track Icon Size(s) and Transparency
You can configure the size of small and large icons in CAKEWALK.INI. By
default, small icons are 32x32 pixels and large icons are 48x48 pixels. Use
the following INI variables to change the default size:
[WinCake]
SmallIconHeight=32
LargeIconHeight=48
If you wish to create custom track icons, we recommend that you author
them as 96x96 pixel 24-bit bitmaps (.BMP).
