	Each room needs a unique icon so that the player can easily identify the respective rooms. The icon is taken from the graphics of Room<InsertName>.ocd, where the default graphic is a brick frame of 128x128 pixels. You can overlay your icon on the existing graphic using an editor like GIMP and save the file. Also you can change the default background color by modifying and combining the files GraphicsBackground.png and GraphicsFrame.png. These come at a resolution of 256x256 pixels, but you can take any between 128 and 256 pixels. Be sure to modify the Picture entry in the DefCore. Alternatively, you can also make a highly zoomed in screenshot of your room and overlay the GraphicsFrame.png on top.
