- This package contains some icons for HAM6 and HAM6 Workbench.
- I prefer HAM6 icons because they are shorter and Workbench displays
- them faster. HAM8 icons don't seem to be much better than HAM6 icons.
- And of course HAM6 icons are displayable an all Amigas (AGA - all
- modes, OLD/ECS - only Lores).
-
- This package is only an idea for all companies making CDs with
- pictures. All icons should be "Project" type with some viewer as
- "Default Tool" so they could be used for viewing pictures and instead
- of thumbnail images.
-
- How to make own icons?
- 1. At first take proper pictures.
- 2. Rescale them with ADPro.
- 3. Enter into palette module and press "Get Workbench Palette" gadget.
- 4. Enter into color editor and set colors 4 to 15 (or 4 to 63) to black (0,0,0).
- 5. Render in HAM6 or HAM8 and save picture as IFF-HAM.
- 6. For converting IFF->Icon use PicCon or other tool.
- 7. For merging "Image" type icons I used IconMerge from my old WB1.3 disks.
- 8. That's all :-)

- Bugs:
- Commodore didn't support HAM modes in Workbench preferences probably
- because OS3.0 has bugs and some programs crash or look bad in HAM.
