New Mark Of The Necromancer Icon in 2.1?

Ok I know this is a bit of a geek's issue, so bear over with me.

In 2.1, due to the new Necromance system, I understand that they changed the now obsolete Skeleton Archers ability with Mark Of The Necromancer. That makes perfect sense. Now comes they question - did they change the Mark Of The Necromancer logo?

Why is this important, you may wonder. And well, it's not that important, but looking at the icons below, you may catch my thought:





Now, as you may notice, the icons for the skills generally have a colour corresponding to the skill they belong to - Necromancy in this case being green, whereas Dark Magic obviously is purple. Thus, the old Mark Of The Necromancer logo does not fit into the Necromancer abilities at all.

So, did they change it, and if they didn't, would somebody be able to transform either of these picture into the proper format and make a MOD for me, that will exchange the icon? (Image left is jpg, right is gif.)



If so, you'd make a weird H5 fanatic a bit happier.

I also wondered about that, but I don't think it's a need for a mod, it's already different.

He he, it looks exactly like my version. Anyway, swapping the colours was the natural approach. And thanx for the link.

Hmmm... Dark Magic was created not only for Nacromancers.
They were the first one to use it, yes, but I still think it's something quite different.
Making it too similiar to the skill's icons will be strange thing, when, for example, Knights will learn Dark Magic skill.
You don't change Light Magic colours to bule ones, just becuase usually Knights use it, do you?
I think that the fact that it's not that similiar the same is good.
BTW, the purple of the Dark Magic fits great to the green of Nacromancy skill.

You misunderstand completely what I want to do. I don't want to change the colour of the Dark Magic skill icons! But since Mark Of The Necromancer moved from Dark Magic > Necromancy from 2.1 and 1.5, it has to change from Dark Magic colours to Necromancy colours.

Oh, okay. Now I got it. Actually, it's a good idea.
I guess it will be great, as long as the change works only on 1.5 and 2.1-where the skill location was changed.

Well, change can work only if the game is patched (thats the way you get the change) so you will already have updated game.
Its impossible to change old versions since they cease to exist when you get the change.
