-
- TO RUN IT IMMEDIATELY:
- CLI: PRESS "ICONLAB" or "RUN ICONLAB"
- WORKBENCH: CLICK into the ICONLAB icon.
-
- TO EXIT: Click into the WINDOWCLOSE gadget or PRESS
- the TAB KEY or CLICK into the LONG RECTANGLE
- at the BOTTOM of the screen.
-
- GET RID OF THAT UGLY BLACK COLOR ON YOUR PREFERENCES
- (IF YOU HAVE IT). REPLACE IT BY SOMETHING LIKE A BEIGE
- COLOR. YOUR WORKBENCH AND YOUR ICONS WILL LOOK SO MUCH
- BETTER!
-
- Here is a nice program that will let you see your icons and
- their alternate images without having to go to the
- Workbench. I wrote it because I am tired of having to
- construct a new icon for a drawer in order to see all the
- icons in it from the Workbench. I also don't like to scroll
- a Workbench to see the icons in it when it is full of them.
-
- The program will also allow you to change various icon
- parameters like ICON TYPE, HIGHLIGHTING, DEFAULT TOOL,
- TOOL TYPES and STACK. To SEE an ICON, choose it from the
- file requester table and then click into the LOAD gadget.
-
- To see its ALTERNATE image, just click into the TOGGLE
- gadget. You can thus toggle between the two images of an
- icon provided there is an alternate image. Just because an
- icon changes colors when you click into it, it does not
- necessarily mean that there is an alternate image.
-
-
- GADGETS:
-
- 9 DRIVES:
-
- The nine DRIVE gadgets on the left allow you to attach to
- anyone of those drives. If you don't have VD0:, or VDK,
- or any one of the other drives, it does not matter.
- Just cancel the requestor when it shows up.
-
- The program starts by attaching first to your RAM: volume.
- From then on you can attach to any of 9 drives listed by
- clicking into them. You can also attach to any
- drive/directory by entering it into the DRAWER gadget
- and pressing return.
-
- PARENT: This gadget allows you to attach to the parent
- directory, if you are not already at the top.
-
-
-
- LOAD: The LOAD gadget loads an icon into the large
- rectangular area on the right. If the icon is
- bigger than that area, it automatically gets
- loaded into its own window, whose dimensions
- are commensurable with those of the icon itself.
- Before you load an icon, you must click into its
- name (ending with .info) first.
-
- SAVE: You may change the following characteristics of
- an icon:
-
- ICON TYPE,
- HIGHLIGHTING,
- DEFAULT TOOL,
- TOOL TYPES,
- STACK
-
-
-
-
- You should always use the up/down arrows to
- change the parameters in ICON TYPE and
- HIGHLIGHTING. You can thus change ANY icon type
- to ANY other icon type very easily. Do not change
- the highlighting to IMAGE if the icon does not
- already have an ALTERNATE image.
-
- Remember: If you change the ICON TYPE to DISK and its name
- is disk.info, you usually need to reboot in order
- to see the icon on the Workbench.
- The SAVE gadget saves the icon to the pathname
- given by the user in the DRAWER/FILE gadgets.
- The program does check to see if the
- volume/directory in the DRAWER gadget exists.
- Make sure that the parameters on the right are
- the ones that you actually want to save.
- Again, use the ADD and DEL gadgets in order to ADD
- and DELETE TOOL TYPES, respectively. Otherwise,
- your icons will not be saved right.
-
- TOGGLE: Toggles between the main and the alternate image
- of the icon that has been loaded.
-
- DELETE: Deletes the file whose pathname is in the
- DRAWER/FILE gadgets.
-
- ATTENTION:(1) If your icon is TOO BIG, its window will not
- have a TOGGLE and an EXIT gadget. Just PRESS
- "T" or "t" to see its alternate icon and
- "Q" or "q" to exit into the main window.
-
- (2) If you get the message: "Cannot Open The Icon
- Window", EXIT the program because you don't
- have enough memory left to open a large icon's
- window.
