- Hi,
-
- Thank you for trying my Icon Library product.
-
- There are more than 5400 icons in 154 categories in this shareware version.
- I hope you like them! By registering, you will receive a total of more than
- 10,000 icons.
-
- The icon viewer program has a few new facilities which I think you will
- find useful.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To install this product, follow these steps:
-
- - Create a new directory to hold the icon libraries, the viewer program and
- other related files.
- eg. MD C:\icolib4
-
- - Change to this directory and copy icolib04.zip into this directory.
- eg. CD C:\icolib4
-
- - Unzip the archive file. You must use the "-d" option of pkunzip.
- eg. pkunzip -d icolib04
- You can now delete the icolib04.zip file from this directory, but make
- sure that you have a backup elsewhere.
-
- - Use the Windows File Manager to copy the icolib.exe file to a Program Manager
- group. The program is now ready to run; just click on the icon to start the
- program.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 3 has had the following major improvements made:
-
- - Allow 2 levels of hierarchy in the menu system.
- - Change heading to show menu description rather than the ICL filename.
- - Provide facility to reload menus without restarting program.
- - Clicking on an icon in the client area will allow the user to save that
- icon to a .ICO file.
- - Include Common Dialog routines for File Save and Choose Color.
- - Provide ability to clear the icon screen without loading new icons.
- - Increase icon collection from 3000 icons in 60 categories to over
- 10,200 icons in 154 categories in the registered version.
- - All icons have been "tidied" up, in particular where the background was a
- fixed color (usually white) it has been changed to be transparent. The icons
- usually look much better this way.
- - Allow the background color of the display area to be changed. Note that if
- there are multiple instances of ICOLIB running, all will have the same
- background color after the next repaint of each client area.
- - Fixed a bug which limited the number of categories to 143.
- - The help file was updated to describe these changes.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Version 4 has had the following major improvements made:
-
- - Save window position and size on program exit in INI file. Restore this
- position and size when restarting the program.
- - Allow the use of path names for ICL files specified in the icolib.ini file.
- There is a limit of 66 characters for the pathname. Examples...
- Item_1=icons\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_2=..\icondir\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_3=d:\tmp\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_4=\top_dir\icons\rabbit.icl,This is a rabbit...
- Item_5=c:\windows\progman.exe,Windows Program Manager Icons...
- - Bug Fix: If user saved an icon and changed directory for this save
- operation, the icolib.ini file would be written to this new location
- rather than the directory containing the icolib.exe file.
-
