oh i see! gosh, that's a lot of work for you... yeah listing out the dimensions or the proportions doesn't make any sense. but it will bother me forever to make a custom icon that doesn't line up with the others. could we view the central lines? like halving all the symmetrical/round icons? or! a placeholder icon that's easy to erase, like a spacer. like if we wanted to squeeze a custom icon in between the defaults, currently it'd take us so long to figure out what's going to run over. since it's not a fixed table, they're just floating to alignment, right? hmmm. tl;dr once we take it to another program, it's a problem of spacing , centering, and sizing, and there are no guides to keep everything even. it turns a 30 second job with a wingdings font into squinting at measurements for an hour. yeah, i think a spacer option would work best here, especially since you have asymmetric and irregular icons, and in different sizes.

as for the BB code, i just have a lot of longer title-text to put on the shields that's not numbers. like on the forms on the right hand column? so we needed a way to resize the fonts - and they do fit, visually! but the letter limit prevented entering them bc it counts the very lengthy BB code as part of the form. so that too we'd have to enter manually on our own program.

First of all, whatever custom icon you upload will be resized to a 100x100 pixel square.   It will first scale the smaller axis (width or height) to 100 pixels, then cut the larger axis to 100 pixels.  So for example, if you have a portrait-shaped image it will trim the top and bottom, and if you have a landscape-shaped image it will trim the left and right.

The icon image will then be scaled to fit the location on the card.  The large icons at the corners are 100x100 px, the smaller icons at the left and right sides are 60x60 px, and the inline icons are 30 px.

All of the icon locations themselves are in a fixed position and cannot be moved (at least for now).

So... if you want to make sure your custom icons are in alignment, just create them on a square canvas of any size.  Then when they are uploaded to the app, they will be scaled appropriately based on where you put them.

For the BBCode on icons, let me do some testing and see how the user experience is entering them on those small text boxes.  I had considered adding this functionality before, so I'll take another look now.  Thank you for the suggestion!
