Work Detail Icons

Description
A set of 8 icons lovingly stolen from the base game that replace the I II III IV V VI VII VIII symbols that designate custom work details. It's a bit fiddly to select the one you want, but even if you aren't choosy these are helpful.

Thanks to Wookieguy for helping me fix the transparency issue!

FAQ

How do I select a particular icon?

Keep making work details until the one you want shows up. Then, optionally delete the ones you don't want.

Can you make it easier to select icons? Can you add more icons?

Those would be great, but you can only do something like that with DFHack. I don't want to add DFHack as a dependency for this mod because many people who don't intend to use DFHack have already subscribed and started using it, and we can't break this mod for those people.

Disclaimer

When I wrote this mod, I dubiously named some of the files the same as some of the vanilla files. If you use the manual mod loading method load this into an existing save (which I haven't tested and can't offer support for), be sure not to overwrite any files, otherwise you will break your game!

You say in the FAQ that you could potentially easily select the desired icon using DFHack but don't want to remove the ability for players who don't use DFHack to use the mod. Have you considered making two versions of the mod?

@Stormfeather If I recall correctly, it needs to be loaded after the base game entries. It's been a couple of years since I looked into this, though.

Its not working for me :( Does it need a special load order? Is something maybe preventing them from being shown?

I'll delete it now to prevent confusion for others.

Sorry you are correct - thought I'd come back and deleted my comment. It was my fault.

@Mumbolian I just tested this, still works for me. Make sure it's below the vanilla mods in the load order, and check whether any other mods conflict with this.

@Alex - The other option is having ...... less icons?

Really hoping they add something similar in vanilla. Roman numerals are so easily confusing when you started getting multiple I's, II's, III's, IV's, etc.
