</span><span class="style5">Draw your picture inside the box. Don't draw on the lines, as they won't be included. For an easier time, hit the "FatBits" button. It will give you a Fatbits view of the box. Do your drawing and get out of Fatbits. Then hit the "Copy to Icon" button (if you want to use this as a button Icon) or hit the "Copy to Finder" button (if you want to use this as a finder icon.
</span><span class="style9">
</span><span class="style1">For a button icon, "Copy to Icon" will put you into Edit Icon mode, choose "New Icon" from the File menu, then "Paste" from the Edit menu. Give your new icon a name if you wish. Then click OK. When you choose an icon for a button, your new icon will appear with all the others.
</span><span class="style8">
</span><span class="style5">For a finder icon, "Copy to Finder" will put you into the Finder. Select the file or folder or disk icon you wish to change, select "Get Info..." from the File menu, then click on the icon that appears there. Then, choose "Paste" from the Edit menu. Your new icon will appear immediately. You can undo the paste. If you do it soon enough.

<text><span class="style1">his stack helps to create icons either for use as HyperCard buttons or under Finder 7.0.
</span><span class="style2">
WARNING!!!</span><span class="style1">
O.K., so you've at least got HyperCard 2.0 and System 6.0.5 or you wouldn't be seeing this.
The problem is, if you don't have System 7.0, some of this stack will make very little sense. You can do everything except "Copy to Finder". There is </span><span class="style3">NO</span><span class="style1"> point in what this button does under System 6. It will "blow chunks".
I wrote this stack to help me take advantage of the fact that you can paste icons into the "Get Info..." box in the Finder 7.0. If you want to create icons for use in HyperCard, you can always choose "Icon..." from the Edit menu.
I hope somebody finds this useful.</span></text>

<text><span class="style1">f course, this all works the other way, too.
This means, you can steal and modify other people's icons.
</span><span class="style8">
</span><span class="style5">To get a copy of an icon from HyperCard, choose "New Button" from the "Objects" menu, and then double-click the new button. From the ensuing info box, choose the "Icon..." button. A dialog box will show you all the available icons, from all the stacks in use (Home, HyperCard, this stack, and any stacks you have issued a "Start Using" command to. Choose the icon you want to modify, and click "OK".
That new button will have that icon. If then you select "Icon..." from the "Edit" menu, HyperCard will tell you that that icon is not available in this stack, and will ask you if you want a copy to edit. Say yes. Now you can edit away, and use this icon for buttons and in the Finder.
</span><span class="style9">
</span><span class="style1">From the Finder, you can copy an icon from a "Get Info..." box by clicking on the icon in the box, then choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. The icon is now in the clipboard and, once back in HyperCard, you can paste the picture, move it into the box, edit it, and then use the "Paste to Button" and "Paste to Finder" buttons to use it.
</span><span class="style8">
</span><span class="style5">Suggestion: If you "Paste to Button" all your icons, you can use this stack as a library for all your custom icons.</span><span class="style1"> CLICK FOR MORE...</span></text>

<text><span class="style5">f you choose "Icon..." from the "Edit" menu, you can use the scroll bar on the bottom of the picture to look at or edit all the icons attached to this stack. Again, by choosing "Copy" from the "Edit" menu, you can use that icon in the Finder, by pasting it into a "Get Info..." box.
You can choose "Duplicate Icon" from the "Edit" menu to edit a copy of the icon, preserving the original.
</span><span class="style12">
</span><span class="style1">Finder hint: If you intend your icon to appear on the desktop, make sure it it "fill-tight" -- totally enclosed. Otherwise, the fill pattern of the desktop will leak in, and the data mask that the finder makes for it will be only the outline of the icon, making it tough to select.
</span><span class="style11">
</span><span class="style5">Already attached to this stack are over 100 icons taken from various places. Some come from HyperCard itself, some from the Macintosh System and Finder (to create your own custom folders, disk icons, etc) and some come from two disk-icon replacement utilities: Icon Master and Facade. Both are Shareware programs and, with System 7.0, obsolete (as you can paste disk icons into "Get Info..." boxes). I also lifted a couple icons from a shareware HyperCard stack called "The NeXT Stack". A bunch came from various commercial applications and their documents.

<text>Sorry.
Alas, HyperCard is colorless. I heard a nasty rumor that when they got done with HyperCard 2.0, they noticed that the manuals did not say anything about color, so they went back and removed all the color from the program (say it aint so, Kevin...)
Anyhow, if you want to do color icons, this isn't the program for you.
You can certainly use monochrome icons on your color machine, if you care to. Won't hurt anything.
