the Read Me file contains a lot of useful information?

There are suggestions on how to use icons, a extended summary of these "did you know..." messages, and a biography for each of the people who worked on IconDropper. Check it out. 


these helpful messages will eventually be replaced by an annoying shareware message?

(Unless, of course, you have registered the software)


you can use a file server for storing your icon packs?

Just double-click to run setup and use a shared folder on your network.

This will allow many people to share the same icons. You can save money by registering a site license.

dropped items are ignored while you are in setup mode?

If you leave setup mode, you can drop items normally.

you can double-click on the IconDropper icon to change its interface and behavior?

There are many different combinations, just experiment until you find something you like.


you can deselect items after they appear in IconDropper?

The items remain selected (and dark) after being dropped. You can easily switch back to the Finder and de-select the items. 

Now, when IconDropper updates it won't be dark.

there are many more FREE icons available at the Iconfactory web site?

Make sure that you download an icon pack, not a folder set.

Use the About menu for more information on how to contact us.

the display of the icons looks much nicer if you change the highlight color from the standard black on white?

Just start up the Color control panel and experiment.

the icon pack display can be made larger with the Size box? 

The Zoom box at the top of the window can be used to toggle the size of the window.

Both settings are saved as preferences and used when you open the window again.

IconDropper will not work on locked items?

If all the items you dropped are locked, you will see a big red X in the preview.

you can drop more than one thing onto the IconDropper?

If you drop multiple items, the icon you pick is used on all of them.

you can remove or swap the icon for the dropped items by clicking on the preview at the top of the window?

Each time you click on the preview the items will be updated in the Finder.

these messages will pop up periodically and give you some more information about IconDropper?

We hope you enjoy using IconDropper.
