- Using . . .
-
- Icon Editor 2.0's main layout consists of the menu options
- located at the top of the screen (Clear, Save, etc...) and
- the icon editing grid (center of screen). Your color choices
- as well as the current drawing color and icon image are located
- to the right of the editing grid. The name of the current
- working icon is just beneath the icon image.
-
- To use a menu option just click on it. This will usually bring
- up a menu:
-
- IE - This menu gives you the option of refreshing the screen
- and/or turning the grid cursor on or off.
-
- CLEAR - This is when you would like to clear the screen. You
- can clear the screen with the current color or nothing.
-
- SAVE - You can save your icon to the current name or give a new
- one.
-
- LOAD - This gives you a list of available ICO files you - just
- double click on the file you wish to load. You can give a new
- path by clicking on the path or on the option {New Path}
- (When giving a new path specify the whole path - example:
- C:\WINDOWS\*.ICO )
-
- Drawing Style - This is the last option and can be changed by
- clicking on it or pressing the middle button on your mouse.
- It can change to one of the following -
-
- - Normal: You can draw freely with the mouse
- - Box [E]: You can draw an empty box or a line
- - Box [F]: You can draw a filled box
-
-
- When on the grid you are able to edit the icon by pressing
- the left button and dragging the cursor. This will draw a
- box or a pixel (depending on the drawing style) in the
- current color. You can erase a pixel or square by using the
- right button.
