How can I create my own tiles?

There are several programs you can get started with, to start configuring all the tiles for Ishtar.365 and/or Ishtar.DMS. For example, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, FotoLab, Gimp, ... You can start with the following template for Adobe PhotoShop.

If you do not have any of the above programs, you can download, for example, the program Lunacy. It is free and quite easy to use. You can download the program from the following link. As soon as you have finished installing Lunacy and started the program, you can get started using following template.

The template consists of 2 layers. The first layer is the shape, in this case a rounded square. If you prefer rounded circular tiles, you should add another shape and delete the current one.

The background color of the shape has a slight transition (gradient) in the template. You can adjust both the main color and the transition color. If you do not want a transition, you can remove it. 

Once the base of your first tile is ready, you can choose an icon via "Icons" in the menu. In Lunacy, you have a wide variety of icons. Using the search function, you can quickly find an icon suitable for each tile. After adding the desired icon, you can hide or remove the current Ishtar logo and customize the chosen icon to your liking. You can also adjust the color of the chosen icon. Make sure the icon is centered for all tiles and is pretty much the same size.

You can choose to give tiles on a different row a different background color. We leave the complete look and feel of all tiles and tile pages to your wishes and corporate identity guidelines of your organization.


Do you prefer to start with pre-configured tiles anyway? We have created a small database of tiles to save you time, more info can be found here.
