How to do the Math with Google Earth Palette Icons

UPDATE: 3/2/2006:
it turns out that the Google earth implementation for the macintosh is actually the problem - not my being expected to be a math genius.

After some fiddling aroung (streching, etc.) with the window for editing the placemark icon, you can get the "chooser" to show up in next to the "Name" field the way it does for the PC.

As you can see, the selection can be made in the upper right, while the palette itself is chosen in the same spot below.

If you look at the screenshot of the same window at the bottom of this page, you can see where only part of the word "Custom" shows up, and the image does not at all (i.e. I am not a complete dope).

I am sure they will get it fixed by the next rev.....

Trying to create your own custom Google Earth map and getting a headache?

For those of us who are not math whizzes, i have marked up palette-4.png into a grid with the numbering on it.

From here you can extrapolate how it is done on the others.

These are the icon palate PNGs that are in the program:

palette-2.png	palette-3.png
palette-4.png	palette-5.png

And this is where you make the adjustment:
