uploading UTFT custom icons. Cold Tears CTE 7"

Hello,

I am trying to upload some custom icons. I have used cold tears included program for uploading icons.

When using that program, the program won't compile because the newest version of the UTFT library because it no longer has the spi init function that the sample program uses.

so, I substituted the latest library, for the one included in cold tears example, and it will compile. However, nothing will show up on the screen, I assume because the older version of the library doesn't support CTE modules. It does run, however. I inserted server so serial prints and I can confirm that the sd car and flash both initializing properly, and the sketch starts transferring the images.

However, when I load the images they do not show up correctly. One large picture fills the screen white, and the smaller ones don't seem to show up at all.

is there a better way to upload icons to the cold tears flash chip?

But if you do not wish to upgrade your Font IC, off the top of my head, you need to get IDE version 1.5.3 which I believe will solve your problems. You say the newest version of UTFT does not have the spi init function, it never did!! SPI_Flash_init(FLASH_CS_PIN); is a function within UTFT_CTE, make sure that library is correctly installed.
