- Welcome to Icondraw for Windows 3.0 Version 1.1
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- This is a shareware program, which I developed as a utility to help others
- in their pursuit of an ultimate graphical interface, fitting their needs to
- the fullest extent. I also developed it for personal reward. Now I would
- like to share it with others.
-
- This application is an icon editor, where you can make your own 16-color, 32x32
- pixel icons which fit into the PROGMAN perfectly. The following lists the steps
- required to change an icon in the PROGMAN (Program Manager):
-
- 1. Save the Icon to a file with an .ICO extension.
- 2. Click on the icon in the PROGMAN which you wish to change ONCE.
- 3. Choose File Properties.
- 4. Click on the "Change Icon.." button.
- 5. Type in the name of the icon with the full path. (e.g. "c:\windows\myicon.ico").
- 6. Click on OK, then on OK again.
-
- PRESTO! you will notice that the icon you specified now is visible in the
- PROGMAN. Currently, however, there is no transparency capability. I will
- be adding this feature in the next version.
-
- Version 1.1 Improvements:
-
- 1. Crosshair cursor when using tools 2 through 6.
- 2. File Save is fixed.
- 3. "Paste Bitmap" feature has been added to paste bitmaps in from the Clipboard.
- 4. Title is shorter.
-
- List of known problems and things to be added in the future:
-
- 1. When running with 256 colors, Icon comes out wrong. This will
- be fixed in the future. For now, I suggest re-installing with the
- regular VGA option for video, making your icons, then switching back
- to your 256 color mode. This is done via Setup from Windows.
- 2. Will be adding a grid.
- 3. Copy Bitmap feature will be added.
- 4. Transparency will be added. This will get rid of the "Grey dots" syndrome.
- For now, if you see grey dots while in File Properties, click on the
- "View Next" button until a clear icon is seen.
- 5. Sometimes people cannot click on a color in the colorbar to change a color.
- I suggest using the menu for now to change colors if the problem occurs.
