IconDraw for Windows 3.0 Version 1.00 ------------------------------------- by Philip B. Eskelin, Jr. and Michael Gates. Shareware. Readme.txt file. The Reason I developed this shareware application is twofold. First, I saw a demand for a utility that people could use which would allow them to customize their graphical user interface. Second, I used this accomplishment as a learning experience. I am half way through college, and this opportunity has allowed me to learn a great deal about a programming in an application interface. The following lists certaing tips wich may be useful when using my app: Adding your icon to the Program Manager. --------------------------------------- 1. Save your creation with an .ico extension. 2. Go to the Program Manager and click once with your mouse on the icon you wish to change. 3. Choose Properties from the File Menu of the Program Manager. 4. Click on the "Change Icon..." button. 5. Type in the Full path to the icon file you just created (e.g. "c:\windows\myicon.ico"). 6. Click on OK. Click on OK. You will notice that the icon in the Program Manager is now changed to the icon which you just edited. Tips for Use ------------ 1. The Right Mouse button will erase one dot a time. 2. Currently, transparency is not implemented in our application. The next version will contain support for transparency. For now, we suggest you paint in the background color of the icon as the same color as the Program Manager Groups. 3. It is recommended to have EGA or better resolution. 4. The icon you make will not show when you minimize the application you are using. The icon resource which is hard-coded into the application will be the one shown. ***If you like this application, we would greatly appreciate it if you send us $15.00 in the form of a check or cash.
