Extractor Page

The extractor page allows you to extract your favorite icons from any *.exe, *.dll, and also any individual icon file *.ico.  Included with the registered version are 23 *.val libraries which also contain icon files that can be extracted for use.

If you choose one of the libraries listed, just drag the file to the grid and it will automatically extract the icons from the library.  You can use the file open button located at the upper right hand corner to open *.val libraries; however, the drag and drop feature is must faster.

The file open button is used to open any file that contains icons.  If the file contains any icons they will be extracted and displayed in the grid.  Select any icon displayed in the grid, and use the file save button to save the icon to any *.ico filename you choose.

The color dialog button will let you choose the back color of the grid.  Normally white or gray is sufficient, but you have the ability to choose any of the available colors as a back color.  This gives you a chance to see what the icon might look like with the back color you choose.


Converter Page

Use the set path button to set the path of your icon files.  Make sure that when you choose the path you double click it to indicate the path you want to search for *.ico files.  If there are any *.ico or *.bmp files in the directory, then a list will appear in the list box.

As you click each of the files in the listbox you will see the 1st of 6 buttons will display the selected icon or bitmap file.  You can drag files to the remaining 5 buttons and they will also display the file that you want to view.  This will give you an opportunity to view different icons side by side to see how they look with each other.  The first button is the active button.  The remaining 5 buttons are for viewing only.

The converter portion will convert any icon to a 32 x 32 16 color bitmap.  The source is the icon to be converted, and the target is new bitmap file.  The converter will use the same name as the icon, but will save the new file with an *.bmp extension.  If the file already exists you will be prompted and asked to overwrite.


Metafile Page

Use the set path button to set the path of your icon files.  Make sure that when you choose the path you double click it to indicate the path you want to search for *.wmf files.  If there are any *.wmf files in the directory, then a list will appear in the list box.

As you click each of the files in the listbox you will see the 1st of 6 frames will display the selected Metafile.  You can drag files to the remaining 5 frames and they will also display the file that you want to view.  This will give you an opportunity to view different metafiles side by side to see how they look with each other.  The first frame is the active frame, and any Metafile in this frame can be copied to the clipboard for use with any other windows application.  The remaining 5 frames are for viewing only.
