Ever wish you could whip up a super looking Icon?
|
|
Ever see a graphic on your SHR screen that you would like to have as an Icon?
|
|
What!, you say you can't draw worth a darn......
|
|
Well, there's hope yet..... Instant Icon NDA will allow you to mark off
|
|
part of the SHR screen and save it as an Icon. Just open the NDA, hold the
|
|
mouse down to start marking off, and release the mouse when done.
|
|
Fill out the attribute box, pick a filename, and that's it. Instant Icon.
|
|
The Icons you save will load into an Icon Editor, or can be used right away.
|
|

|
Tips:
|
|
|
|
Icon pathnames can be up to 64 characters long. You will only be able to view
|
|
about 40 characters in the Instant Icon attribute box. You can keep typing, but
|
|
you will only be able to view the first 40 or so characters.
|
|
|
|
You can "Capture" images from a 320 mode screen. Instant Icon will convert the
|
|
colors to 640 mode.
|
|
|
|
Icons are displayed in the standard palette. If you create an Icon from a
|
|
screen that is not in the default palette, it will usually look pretty sad...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instant Icon will allow you to mark off approx a 70x70 square, although, you
|
|
could make a rectangular Icon. Square Icons usually look the best, and not too
|
|
large. Large Icons tend to clutter up the desktop.
|
|
|
|
This is version 1.2 of Instant Icon, the first release. If you have any
|
|
suggestions, or find bugs, you can contact me at:
