Nevertheless @{" -> Walter D rwald " LINK "walter"} and I are working on 16 color icons and maybe for a replacement for all system icons. But this will really take some time. Creating perfect 16 color icons is hard work. So this may be the last release of my RomIcons (but never say never ;) If you have created nice 16 color icons, do not hesitate and email them to us (preferably to Walter). It doesn't matter which palette you use, but it should contain the 8 standard colors defined by XEN. The new iconsize will be 57x35 pixel. @ENDNODE @NODE "ico" "Icons Background Information" Mail3: All postcards from England (none came from Wales, SC or NI) had the same stamps. They all show Queen Elizabeth and so I thought that this would be a good symbol for any type of eMail programs. KingCON: I and several others released KingCON icons which contained the ARexx crown. But the golden rule in the art of icon design says that you should never use the same symbol for different programs. So here it is: The King from the good old Battlechess game in the 8 MWB colors. Komponisten: is for my new composer database in AmigaGuide-format with lots of pictures and sounds. There is no release date fixed, but it should be on Aminet in a few months. Sorry, it is german only. The picture shows Mozart, it is an adapted version of the 16 color dock-brush called "Symphonie" in RI9. Scout: Timo Kaikumaa (and I) needed a nice icon for the cool system monitor 'Scout' by Andreas Gelhausen and the only symbol I could think of was an indian. If you are interested how to draw an icon from scratch, look at @{" [ ] The Making of Scout " SYSTEM "MultiView RIguide/tmoScout.brush"}. The feather is actually stolen from XEN's 'WordProcess'-imagedrawer and then copied and rotated. Paint5 and ProWizard are taken from the AmyWB icon pack 1 and 2 by Henrik Jensen @{" -> (Hi) " LINK "credits"}. I reduced them from 32 to 8 colors. DPaintV: In the misc-drawer you will find an enhanced version of Tut-Ench-Amun released in RI7. Only some reflection spots were added, so that it looks more plastic and golden. Fame: Sascha Pfalz asked me to draw some icons for a BBS-System which is currently in beta-stage. I hope they satisfy you. MagicWB-Demon: This one is completely drawn by @{" -> Walter D rwald " LINK "walter"}. He is really a great artist! NoNukes: This is for you, Jacques! @ENDNODE @NODE "tmb" "TM-Brushes Background Information" The dock-brushes are now in two formats: As an icon with an alternate picture which can directly be used with the ToolManager, and as a simple brush. @{" [ ] Click here " SYSTEM "MultiView RIguide/dock.brush"} for an overview. @ENDNODE @NODE "pat" "Patterns" Both pictures, @{" [ ] ZebraLady " SYSTEM "MultiView Patterns/ZebraLady"} and @{" [ ] MRLake " SYSTEM "MultiView Patterns/MRLake"} are taken from my ImageLibrary CD-ROM. MRLake is only one of 18 other grey-scale background images, which can be found in 'RomPix.lha' archive on Aminet (pix/mwb). Thanks to yvind Falch for the grey-scale MWB images idea. @ENDNODE @NODE "sam" "Samples" @PREV "MAIN" I hate the "Unable to open your tool x" requester if you double-click an icon, so various samples are played instead now. Try it! @ENDNODE @NODE "gui" "About this guide..." @PREV "MAIN" This guide uses little 'ascii-icons' to distinguish if a button is linked to a text, sound, picture or other. This is useful for example if you press a button which plays a soundfile, but nothing happens, because your speakers are not connected. I use the following symbols so far: -> link to a text node ] link to a picture or brush link to a sample * link to a program @ENDNODE @NODE "copyright" "Copyright & License" @{b}COPYRIGHT & LICENSE@{ub} @{" RomIcons " SYSTEM "RIGuide/Sound Samples/ri.8svx q"} are Copyright 1995 @{" -> Roman Patzner " LINK "Contact"}.

This excludes of course people who sent me one already. IMHO, postcards are a nice way to get some feedback and they encourage me to stay in the 'icon- drawing-business'.
