All welcome and I ask to help!

How to make the ships icon, as in Unit_Hud_CursorOver, Unit_Hud_Disabled ...

I already have a ready Unit_Picture file with my ship, and I need to make the Unit_Hud icon as in the original, that is, with the yellow background, that is, how it should be! 

Here's something like this to do:

Tell me, please, how to do this ???

Thanks for attention!

Take an empty yellow icon button.

Take a profile picture of your ship. Sins has a green screen option if you don't have any other way.

Copy and resize your profile picture of the ship onto the yellow icon.

For cursor over I just set to the brightness/contrast up 30%

For cursor down it's just moving the file down one pixel.

For disabled I just desaturate the image to convert it to grayscale.

 

I do this all in Gimp though there are likely other options.
