What are network logos.?

Network logos show a picture instead of a plain text name in the show overview page of SickChill.

How does SickChill receive those names.?

The names are automatically provided by the indexers theTVDB. In case there are errors in the name please change/report them to one of the above indexers.

Where are the logos located in SickChill.?

They are located under : */SickBeard/gui/slick/images/network

How to add network logos for SickChill.?

First you need to get your hands on a logo for that particular network. Google is your best friend here. Once that is done use Paint.net or similar program to edit the image.

  • Make the background transparent.
  • Resize the image to 64x32 pixels.
  • Save it as a png.

Some guidelines for the network logos are. :

  • Use colored logos.
  • Try not to use black or withe.

The last is because SickChill has two color theme's (Dark and Light). If the logo contains to much of either color it will not show properly/correctly on one of those themes. Make sure you test/check this.

Last step is to rename the image. It needs to have the exact name of the network in the show overview list. Also use only lowercase characters as upper case characters are not recognized.

Example : Sky Atlantic this needs to be renamed to sky atlantic So the logo filename will be sky atlantic.png

Note : Special characters are not supported.!

When you have the logo ready it needs to be added to SickChill. This is done with a Pull request on GitHub. You can use a program like Sourcetree for submitting. If you are not able to do this, than you can alternatively post the logo and exact filename on our SickChill issue tracker, one of the contributers/developers will than add it for you.
