Design Philosophy of this programme:
a. Delegate to art programmes what they do best. ie co-operate with
art programmes rather than compete with them!
b. Create a programme which (probably) needs no documentation at all to
use.
c. Make the programme as general purpose as possible eg if you create
an icon with an alternate image, the alternate image can have
totally different dimensions and can even have a different number of
bitplanes.
d. This programme will not ask you anything it can work out for itself.
eg it will never ask what type of object the icon is for. Most icon
creators will ask if your object is a tool, project, trashcan, disk
or drawer.
