I've been making some cards on the program and recently noticed that some of the custom sets I'd downloaded have a special expansion symbol instead of the letters which mine currently have. How would I go about doing the same thing. It would be really cool if you could help

First, my English is not well enough for describing this things. I think, Planeswlk can answer on this question more informative.

hehe Crazzy is great isnt he

Ok.. If you already know how to make a custom set, when you go to compile it, you have some options on that screen. There will be a button to assign gif's to the set icons per rarity. that will bring up a dialog where you select the pictures. The tricky part is, you must create your GIF pics fairly small, say under 50x50 pixels, the dimensions must be equal (width=height) or the icon will be skewed, and have set a transparency color. If the GIF is ok, when you select it it will show up at about the same size as it will appear on the rendered cards. Hit ok, finish setting the other things, and compile. When you view your mwset you should see the icons.
