          The background is created from the game inside the function GetBackgroundTextures()
          https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/deploy/fafdevelop/lua/ui/game/construction.lua#L513

          icon graphic is located in

          \textures\ui\common\icons\units\
          

          as example the path to the land background is:

          \textures\ui\common\icons\units\land_up.dds
          \textures\ui\common\icons\units\land_down.dds
          \textures\ui\common\icons\units\land_over.dds

            @uveso For me the easiest way was to create a background texture in Photoshop, save it as .dds, import it, place it under my Unit layer in PS and save this whole Thing as Icon. This covers the custom Background in Game.

              I have changed my background icons because i am red/green colorblind.

              If I understand you correctly, your icons are overwriting my color-blind background?

                  @uveso Yes Exactly...was the easiest way for me, because i couldnt even find the paths/.dds to the land background which you gave me...
                  But other tutorials also mentioned these files, dont know why i can not find them...

                  well, overwriting the standard Background with the Icon.dds works, so everything is fine 🙂

                    \textures\ui\common\icons\units\land_up.dds

                    Is not a part of FAF, its in the game itself.
                    To see/view this you need to unpack:

                    D:\Games\Supreme Commander\gamedata\textures.scd

                    (rename the textures.scd to textures.zip and you can unzip it.)

                      @uveso Yeah i already unpacked all .scd files, but those files are not in there...in \textures\ui\common\icons\units\ I only have 1 Icon per Unit....and this file is named ABC1234_Icon.dds

                      Absolutely no idea where the rest is...i already tried to find them via search function, without sucess...

                        This is the location where i found it: (Sorted by name)

                        landicon.png

                        Should be between drs0102_icon.dds and opc2002_icon.dds.
