A complete list of functions of the
Public Domain version of
ICON_TOOLBOX
The functions are:
a. Create icons of any size and up to 256 colours from paint files.
Automatically works out the type of the icon. Double image icons
can be made from 2 pictures with totally different sizes and depths,
also you can manually position the 2 pictures relative to each other.
b. Smart window cleanup: much better than workbench's window cleanup.
The cleanup is always 100% tight: if there's a free slot, it will be
found! The positioning of icons is also more structured than that
of workbench. Many practical heuristics are enforced.
c. Very flexible directory iconization with many options.
d. Convert icons into paint files with a minimum of fuss.
e. Cut a smaller paint file (a brush) out of a bigger paint file.
f. Copy an icon to another object NOT necessarily of the same type.
g. Change the colour-palette/number-of-bitplanes/resolution of a
picture so that destination resembles source.
h. Change the colours of icons from workbench 1.3 colours to workbench
2.0 colours and vice versa. Can do whole directories in one go.
i. Switch the type of an icon: switch between garbage and directory,
switch between data file and programme file.
j. Implement the colours of a paint file onto the workbench screen.
k. Stretch icons. Perform 2 way stretch/shrink on an icon.
l. Tile a sphere with an icon or picture.
