- Here is a method to create your own iconized folders on a folder background of your own making.
-
- You need a graphics package, Folder Icon Maker, and ResEdit.
- System 7 would also be nice.
-
- 1. Create a new Folder design.
- a. Make a new untitled folder.
- b. Use File/Get Info on the new folder, select the folder
- icon then choose Edit Copy.
- c. Paste the folder into a graphics package.
- (I set my package,Color-It, to be ruled in pixels)
- d. Fill the folder with the pattern of your choice.
- e. Select the new folder design (this should be 32x32 pixels)and Select Edit\copy.
- 2. Copy the new design to the untitled folder.
- a. Start Resedit
- b. Select File open and pick the new untitled folder
- c. Pick the icon "file" within the new untitled folder
- d. Edit the ic18 resource.
- e. Double click on the folder icon (resource -16455)
- f. Choose Edit\Paste
- 3. Restart your Mac.
- a. Admire your work.
- 4. Modify your copy of Folder Icon Maker.
- a. Resedit Folder Icon maker.
- b. Resedit your the untitled folder.
- c. Select the ic18 resource from the untitled folder.
- d. Select the new folder design (resource -16455)
- e. Choose Edit copy
- f. Select the resource window for Folder Icon Maker
- g. Select ic18 of folder icon maker
- h. Copy the new folder design to the ic18 resource
- of Foldr Icon Maker.
- i. Click on the Folder Icon maker resource ID -16455
- j. Choose Resource, Get Resource Info and set the
- resource ID to -3999.
- 5. Take a break.
- 6. Repeat the above for the ic14, ICN#, ics#, ics4 and
- ics8 resources.
- a. Sounds intimidating but...
- b. Open Resource id -3999 of the ic18 resource of
- Folder Icon Maker. Then drag the Resource Pict to
- each of the above. You will need to make small
- edits on the Picts within Resedit.
- This works a lot better than the way I used to do this. (Don't Ask)
-
- I've included a Resource File for the Crumpled Folders and a couple of examples of Iconized folders.
-
- In payment, if you know anything about how journaling is supposed to work send me a E-Note; otherwise, enjoy.
