The alternate macro command /macro_image, which allows the creation of a tray icon other than a few letters, would be a nice tool for macro weens.
Does anyone know the specs of what this command wants for the 'texture' file to create the icon? Some simple attempts have failed and I suspect it has to be something found in a PIGG file or such.

You have to find the name of the image in the PIGG files. Here is an example that I use with Kheldians...
/macro_image LuminousBlast_BrightNova "Nova" "powexec_toggle_on Bright Nova$$goto_tray 5$$camdist 19"
/macro_image LuminousAura_WhiteDwarf "Dwarf" "powexec_toggle_on White Dwarf$$goto_tray 6$$camdist 26"
/macro "Human" "powexec_toggle_off Bright Nova$$powexec_toggle_off White Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$camdist 19"
/macro_image UmbralBlast_DarkNova "Nova" "powexec_toggle_on Dark Nova$$goto_tray 5$$camdist 19"
/macro_image UmbralAura_BlackDwarf "Dwarf" "powexec_toggle_on Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 6$$camdist 26"
/macro "Human" "powexec_toggle_off Dark Nova$$powexec_toggle_off Black Dwarf$$goto_tray 1$$camdist 19"

Excellent, thanks. Just the confirmation that it's a PIGG thing is a huge help.
Best way to list/find all the icon names in the standard set? I am not a skilled PIGG hunter.

A player sent me the unpacked power names file, but I am trying to figure out how to clean and strip it down to a list. All I can say is that this works, and reasonable guesses at power set names and power names works about 90% of the time. (Some failures are puzzling, and I suspect there's an extra keyword for them - Blaster DarkBlast_, for example, doesn't work.)
Great new find.

Try dragging the power to your chat window and send yourself a message. You'll see the text there. IDK if that'll work for the translation, but it's worth a shot.

Also, I know for a fact that there's an oooooold thread that covers this, but that's a hunt in and of itself. Someone needs to get bored and offload the old forums and re-upload them for easy search. :p

And *kerpow* *splat* *boom*... a user online not only pointed me to the solution, then sent me the unpacked file, and then (while I was trying to strip it down to names) sent me the stripped file. A little sorting and de-duping in NP++, and a complete, alphabetical, stripped list of what should be mostly icon names is now on the website.
Guide has been updated with the usage info; Name list is a separate download on the website.
As always, love this community!

That's kind of what I'm doing with the Guide. Most of it is stuff that "everybody knew" back in the day, or knew where to find... but personally, I find bookmarking and paging through discussions tedious, and there hasn't been any concerted effort to update PW and other major repositories.
So, I do what I do - I write. :)

Interesting how many powersets have perfectly obvious names (Flight_, SuperStrength_) and others have... muddled ones (DarkCast_ for "Dark"). But what's funny is how many power names are misspelled, such as Flight_ArialAssault, which I assume means you throw ugly fonts at a foe.
This list is HUGELY useful.
