How would add new colors/shapes to the Graphical Indicator?

[DEV]

I am trying to add more colors & shapes to the existing list of Images in the
Graphical Indicator in Microsoft Project.

For example, I want to add a triangle filled in with yellow color which is
not available in the default list of Graphical Indicators. Please help me.

Thanks,

DEV,
Wow, there are a lot of built-in indicator images. It is hard to imagine
someone needs even more. I did a quick check in standard versions of
Project and was unable to find any editor or VBA method for adding to
the default list. It may be possible that the Professional or Server
versions allow it, but I seriously doubt it. This doesn't mean it
positively can't be done but finding and implementing a method is
probably going to be more effort than it is worth.

John,

appreciate your suggestion. I am trying to apply the standard colors and
shapes that are commonly used in our system.

I looked through the Project folders to see if there is any BMP or other
image files for these colors that I create/overwrite them. Also checked for
the value that is assigned to these colors and tried to give some bigger
number to see if it will bring up some new color.
