MagicAl0 by Aheco ten Bokkel Huinink Well here is the first relase of my Magic Icons. This will not be the final version, after the summer holidays I'll upload version 1.0 which will have all the stuff that's in this archive plus much more of course! Info ---- The icons were made with DPaint4.5 (it's better than all those IconEdit progs!) and converted with one of those handy progs BRUSH2Icon or IFF2Icon (I've got them both I just have to decide which one I shall use permanently.) Helpfull hint ------------- For all the ppl who still get some of the patterns with the wrong colors on the screen here is what you should do: 1 Take a snapshot from your WB screen with one of those handy grab programs 2 Load it into your favourite paint program, now you've got the exact colors on the screen as your WB screen 3 Load the patterns which don't show up properly, stamp 'em down and save them that should be all! Read this MWB icon creators!! ----------------------------- To all the other MWB icon creators out there I've made a new template called Improver this should be used for programs that patches libraries etc. so the system improves, I've included 3 examples in the WBStartup dir I have also messed with the icons in the prefs dir (I just hated the pink/white question marks so I made 2 alternate template icons for these And I've made a new mouse to replace the A500 mouse that shows up on some icons. I haven't used it yet but I'll include some in the v1.0 version of MagicAl icons. I'll do the prefs input icon and the viewer with mouse and screen the rest of you are welcome to do the rest :) Oh almost forgot I've made a new MUI template since these programs are always commodities. (as far as I know, even the MUI prefs is a commodity!) I tried to put the blue MUI from the *old* :) template on the new1 but it didn't looked good with translucency so I just grabed the letters MUI from the prefs icon :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- With program to which you want to add a new MagicWB icon you should make the next steps: (as soon as you found a match skip the rest of course :)) 1) is it an MUI program? -> Take the MUI template 2) is it a commodity? -> Take the commodity template 3) does the program patches anything? -> Take the Improver template 4) just a normal program? -> Take the program template --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since Roman likes to get postcards he can get 'em so this is cardware send all the postcards to: Roman Patzner Maschl 91 / 5600 St.Johann / AUSTRIA Internet:k3052e1@edvz.uni-linz.ac.at Send you comments on this package *not* to Roman but to me!
