- WHAT IS THIS?
-
- This is the TENTH set of my NewIcon images for your Workbench. These all use
- the standard NewIcon palette, so they won't allocate any extra pens from your
- Workbench if you are already using NewIcons. The entire AESicons series is
- well over 1200 icons!!!
-
- If you are not running NewIcons, these will only look like little
- squares and you won't see any cool icons. See elsewhere on how to install
- them.
-
-
-
- WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION?
-
- Well, It's been a while....after spending a great deal of time on the NewIcons
- 4.x, 32 color iconset, we're back to making more images :)
-
- Included are over160 (!) images not found in the original NewIcons archive,
- NewIconsXtra set, or my previous 9 AESicons archives. Some of the icons are
- older ones which I have recolored to use the new 32 color icon palette
- introduced with NewIcons 4.1.
-
- This set includes a hodge-podge of various icons, including new ones for Miami
- (along with appicons), CrossMac, several games, and other goodies.
-
- With each archive, I get more and more requests for icons. I have tried my
- best to fulfill all the requests so far, although there may be a few I haven't
- done yet. The archive was just getting too large and I had to get a release
- out there to the masses. If you don't see an icon you asked for, let me
- know.
-
- Next set will include some nifty new 32 color folders.
-
- I hope you like this set. Keep coming with the requests.

-
- HOW DO I INSTALL THESE TINY LITTLE SQUARES?
-
- If you plan to use these images, you need the NewIcons Package. It's
- available on Aminet (pub/aminet/util/wb/NewIcons41.lha). If you are not
- running NewIcons, you will only see little squares for the icons, and this
- package will be of no use for you. To install these images, use the
- "copynewicon" utility to transfer the images over to the appropriate icon.
- DON'T use the "creatdefaulticon" utility. That's for creating NewIcon images
- for files that don't have ".info" files attached to them. Copynewicon is safe
- to use on your existing icons, because it won't mess with your default tool or
- your tooltypes. Also, DON'T just copy the .info file over to your existing
- programs, because you won't keep your default tool or tooltypes that way
- either. Like the NewIcons documentation says, think of this collection as a
- catalog of "images" rather than icons, from which you copy the image over to
- your other programs, rather than replacing the whole icon itself.

- NEWICONS UPDATE:
-
- NewIcons Version 4.1 was released since my last archive. It's quite stable.
- If you haven't upgraded to the latest version, definitely go get it. These
- icons are now 32 colors, and the loading speed of NewIcons 4.x is much faster
- to allow this to be possible. We've also got a web page going with all the
- latest NewIcon information and links to all NI related software. Check out
- http://www.amignet.org/NewIcons/

- HEY SOFTWARE AUTHORS!
-
- For you software authors out there, how about putting some NewIcon images in
- with your programs? For those not using NewIcons, they don't see them anyway,
- and it saves me the trouble of having to deal with deleting those purple MWB
- icons and me having to make new images for your software. You can easily make
- them from DPaint IFF brushes. If you're not an icon artist, send me some
- mail, and perhaps I can make something for you.
-
- Regardless of whether you prefer MWB or NewIcon images (or neither!), it's
- important to remember that the NewIcons system works with any style of image,
- and gives you the benefit of not having to worry about what your palette is
- set to in preferences. The images will auto-remap to the appropriate color.
- Personally, I prefer the NewIcons style, but you can use NewIcons to adapt
- your icons to any style you like.
-
- Thanks go out to Nicola Salmoria and Eric Sauvageau for their great
- programming work, and Roger McVey for his talented artistry.

-
- DISTRIBUTION
-
- This set is freely distributable, and the individual icons may be used or
- modified as you please. If you pass on the package to others, please keep the
- archive intact with its documentation. The authors of the programs for which
- these icons were designed have my permission to add them to their program
- archives; please let me know if you do. Email gives me incentive to keep this
- little (?!) series going, so let's hear from you.
-
-
- These icons were created with Personal Paint 7.1 and NewIcon2brush. Final
- formatting was done with killoldicon by Michael Barsoom, and my batch NewIcon
- processing script, Brush2NewIcon (which I may upload to Aminet someday if I
- make it more user friendly).
-
- Feedback is always appreciated. If you use these icons, and love (or hate)
- them, send me some e-mail and let me know. If you have a particular request
- for an icon, I'm usually pretty accommodating.
-
- Enjoy!
