- WHAT IS THIS?
-
- This is the third set of my NewIcon images for your Workbench.
- These all use the standard NewIcon palette, so they won't
- allocate any extra pens from your workbench if you are already using
- Newicons.
-
- IMPORTANT! If you are not running NewIcons, these will only look like
- little squares and you won't see any cool icons. See below on how to
- install them.
-
- WHAT'S IN THIS VERSION?
-
- Included are nearly 60 images not found in the original NewIcons archive,
- NewIconsXtra set, or previous AesIcons archives. Most are totally original,
- some are adapted from parts of Roger McVey's work, and a few others are
- adapted from images done by other aspiring icon artists.
- This archive includes icons for Parnet, Fax Software, utilities, some games,
- and internet programs. Also included are some (very cool, IMHO :) locale
- drawers with flags. If your country is not in there, email me and I'll
- make one for you.
-
- A word about the ParNet icons. Deficons recognizes a def_NetDisk.info for
- which you can use one of these icons for the default Net: icon on your
- Workbench when you start ParNet. If you want to do this, use copynewicon
- to transfer the image over to a drawer or disk icon named def_NetDisk.info,
- then copy it over to your Envarc:sys drawer. Also included are some icons
- to use for your node.rinfo icons. NewIcons recognizes these too! Read
- the Parnet docs on how to use node.rinfo for your network icons. Basically,
- if you use injectbrush and inject your image into a drawer icon, then rename
- it to "node.rinfo", you can put these icons into your partitions and these
- images will pop up as device icons when accessing Parnet throught the
- Workbench. Pretty cool, huh?
-
-
- HEY SOFTWARE AUTHORS!
-
- For you software authors out there, how bout putting some NewIcon images
- in with your programs? For those not using NewIcons, they don't see them
- anyway, and it saves me the trouble of having to deal with deleting those
- purple MWB icons and me having to make new images for your software.
- You can easily make them from DPaint IFF brushes.
-
- Regardless of whether you prefer MWB or NewIcon images, it's important to
- remember that the NewIcons system works with either type of image, and gives
- you the benefit of not having to worry about what your palette is set to
- in preferences. The images will auto-remap to the appropriate color.
- Personally, I prefer the NewIcons style, but you can use NewIcons to adapt
- your icons to any style you like. Thanks to Nicola Salmoria for making such
- a fine system, and to Roger for his excellent artwork. It's been fun working
- with you guys.
-
-
- HOW DO I INSTALL THESE TINY LITTLE SQUARES?
-
- If you plan to use these images, you need the NewIcons Package. It's
- available on Aminet (pub/aminet/util/wb/NewIcons.lha). If you are not
- running NewIcons, you will only see little squares for the icons, and
- this package will be of no use for you. To install these images, use
- the "copynewicon" utility to transfer the images over to the appropriate
- icon. DON'T use the "creatdefaulticon" utility. That's for creating
- NewIcon images for files that don't have ".info" files attached to them.
- Copynewicon is safe to use on your existing icons, because it won't mess
- with your default tool or your tooltypes. Also, DON'T just copy the .info
- file over to your existing programs, because you won't keep your default
- tool or tooltypes that way either. Like the NewIcons documentation says,
- think of this collection as a catalog of "images" rather than icons, from
- which you copy the image over to your other programs, rather than replacing
- the whole icon itself.
-
- This set is freely distributable, and the individual icons may be used or
- modified as you please. If you pass on the package to others, please keep
- the archive intact with its documentation.
-
- These icons were created with DeluxePaint IV AGA, NED (NEwicons Editor,
- Roger McVey's NewIcon editor - still in beta form) and NewIcon2brush.
- Final formatting was done with killoldicon.
-
-
- Feedback is always appreciated. If you use these icons, and love (or hate)
- them, send me some e-mail.
-
- Enjoy!
