Yes, I did. Everybody who did it could find that some of necessary
informations are simply missing, or some which are given are
misleading.

To repeat where this article is:

Thanks for this answer. In the Tony's article only what is mentioned
about glyphs is that we have to:

1) "Save the glyph.bmp file to The Bat directory, reboot TB! and see
what it looks like." -- without any notice anywhere that default
glyphs are built in (even is said "glyph.bmp", not "glyphs.bmp");

2) "First of all, open P[aint]S[hop]P[ro] and then open the standard
glyph.bmp. Decide what glyph you're going to modify." -- How could one
open "standard glyph.bmp" if it is "built in"?

3) "Another thing to remember is that the whole glyphs image file is
like a big grid. Each icon needs to be placed centrally in its own
square on this grid otherwise they may not be aligned or they may even
be part missing when TB uses them " -- without any mention about
dimensions of this grid, number of icons and their sequence. Only what
is mentioned is that each icon is 25x25 pixels, without any notice
about dimensions of "its own square". How could one place something of
25x25 pixs in the center of something with unknown dimensions, and
above all, which cannot be opened since it is built?

IMHO, this article should be updated and needed information which are
missing and are incorrect should be presented and corrected there.
Else, I would really appreciate any other source with complete and
correct informations.
