*'''\Textures\Menus50\BirthSign''' For low resolution images
*'''\Textures\Menus50\BirthSign''' For low resolution images


The menu images for each texture size follow a particular size and format. Existing Oblivion images can be imporated into your preferred image editor in order to ascertain the correct format for that resolution size. For more information on creating icons, see the [[How_To_Create_Custom_Menu_Icons|tutorial on creating menu icons]].

; Adding a Small Icon to the Character Sheet :
Small icons are created similarly to the large birthsign menu icons, with large, medium, and low resolution images. The folders are:
*'''\Textures\Menus\Stats\Small_BirthSign'''
*'''\Textures\Menus80\Stats\Small_BirthSign'''
*'''\Textures\Menus50\Stats\Small_BirthSign'''
 
<blockquote>'''Note''': Birthsign icon files must be named in exactly the same way that vanilla files are named or they won't show up in-game. So, if your new birthsign is The Dragon, your large menu icon must be named ''Birthsign_The Dragon.dds'' and your small icon must be named ''Small_The_Dragon.dds''. The spacing and capitalization are important as these file paths appear to be hardcoded in the game.</blockquote>

People may not realize this, but right clicking in the spell section of the Birthsign menu only gives you one option: "Delete". For all those wondering how to actually add a spell, you simply drag-n-drop any spell you want. It could be one to summon a lovable sheep, or one that makes you character god-like. If you want to delete a spell that is already there, right-click it and press delete. Any spell can be added to a birthsign, except ones that damage health to the player are not recomended.
To add a spell, drag-n-drop the spell into the spell section of the Birthsign menu. If you want to delete a spell that is already there, right-click it and press delete.
