Dear Netters,
Enclosed you will find a series of icons that I built to make things more
enjoyable. They were drawn using "Icon Wizard", written by Mike Samuels. I
would recommend that you download and try this interesting utility. It is
available at the Stanford and mirror archives.
To cover any copyright issues;
Use and re-distribute as you wish, but never without the "read-me"
file.
I suppose I should claim creative rights to these, so "I claim any
rights to them". In some instances, I may have used copyrighted icons as
starting points in the creation process, so "I hereby yield to any prior
claims".
This is "Postcard-ware", or in other words, these are free. I would appreciate
it if you could send me a postcard (or E-mail), as I am curious to know how far
this may have been distributed.

#### BINHEX fly-color-icons.hqx ****
Fly-(fli): 1.(Adj.) Of or having to do with extreme coolness. More
radical than most can deal with! See Also: Hip-Hop, Groovy,
Nifty, etc.
Here is a new batch of 3D color icons that I've drawn up, that are cool enough
to be called "Fly Icons". I have some new Cartoon Personalities, some new
Hard Disks, as well as a few Appletalk Remote derivatives, and of course
numerous folders.
As always, these icons are compressed with Stuffit Deluxe, to preserve the
icons in the Finder for easy access. Use copy and paste to add them to
new folders.
Some notes:
* Some people have experienced problems with what is called the
"Icon Shuffle". This occurs when a large number of custom icons
open into a single window. As far as I can tell, this is a bug in
the Finder, because it has no discernable pattern. I've heard that
the icons usually right themselves given time.
* The new program Iconder, available at most of the archives, is an
easy way for anyone to make quick custom folder icons. If you
haven'tseen it yet, pick it up. If you have, you can now make your
own 3D! custom icons, with a little ResEdit-ing. I have included 3
different resource files to add to Iconder to go from plain blue to
"Fly 3D". (Usual ResEdit warnings apply!)
Hope you enjoy the icons, and if you have suggestions (or new custom icons
Iconder), please drop me a message!
Moof! ;)

Subject: Icons for customizing the representation of folders.
The following archive will interest those who like to customize their desktop under System 7 and have Resedit. They will have a lot of icons to play with in a format that could be used rapidly.
With the commercial program IconMover 3.0 from CE Software, sold with Calendar Maker 3.0, it's possible to easily scrounge icons from any standard applications and files or to create them from scratch. These icons can be stored in a template containing up to 24 different ones.
Open the templates included with Resedit. They have only the resource ICON, so you can't miss it. You double-click on that resource, then on the icon you want, modify it if you desire, select it as a picture with the tool designed for that, the same way it's done in any paint program, go to the Finder without quitting Resedit and paste it to replace the standard representation of any folders, like explained in the documentation that comes with System 7.
If you paste the icon of a program over the folders in which it's stored, you will have no way to differentiate them. With Resedit, you can add a dot to the icon of a folder to differentiate the folder from the program. With folders in which you have only files, you don't have that problem.
I tried pasting directly the icons from IconMover to the folders, but they were not stable, so after experimenting I used the way described above. I don't make any promise, but it worked perfectly for me.

This files includes three different replacement for the trash. The first one is a plain toilet, the second a smiling toilet and the third one is a box with files in it.

You must use Resedit to completely replace the icn# resource which is inside of the System file with ONLY ONE of the three different icn# which are included. ItOs working fine with System 7.1, but as usual you use at your own risk.

Info-Mac community-
Please find enclosed MugShots Set #1. These are icons of many
of your favorite Star Trek Characters (TOS, TNG & DS9!).
They are greyscale and 32-bit QuickDraw is required, as only the 8-bit and
disfigured 1-bit icons are featured.
Since all of these faces are (more or less) the property of Paramount
pictures, all I ask of those who download this file is that the send me a
short note over email!
Share and Enjoy!

Subject: Icons R Us (My Version)
This version of Icons R Us have been modified to not use folders as icon
holders. Each icon is now a single resoure file that you cannot accidentally
double-click to open into an empty folder.
I would recommend that icons be distributed in this way, as it would reduce the
number of folders a hard drive would contain. And since the Finder does not add
up invisible file sizes, Get Info on a lot of invisible files would be
Info-mac-- <suggestion> you should probably make a new directory
off of grf and call it ppat, and place all ppats and ppat utils
in there.
Sonic The Hedgehog ppats
-----------------------
#include<stdisclaimer.h>
Here are a few Sonic ppats I either captured or drew. Most of
them look best in 24-bit or 16-bit color (some are 8-bit, most
are 24-bit). Sizes include 64 X 64, 128 X 128, & 64 X 128.
Work with either Before Dark or Desktop Textures. Special

Subject: [*] System 7 icl8 Replacement Resources
For those who would like to improve the appearance of the Finder
under System 7, but lack the time or nerve to create their own
color icons (NOTE: COLOR), I'm submitting this Binhex'd & Stuff'd
ResEdit file containing icl8, ICN#, ics8, & sicn resources with
IDs matching those in the System file. Simply use ResEdit to copy
all these resources into the System file, allowing existing items
with the same IDs to be replaced. This will change the default
color icons used for folders & plain documents, as well as those
used for the new System 7-specific stuff: all the folders within
the System folder, Stationary files, default Extension files, and
so forth. Some of these icons originated with SunDesk and all the
other Finder colorizers used in pre-System 7 days (they were
great while they lasted). Feel free to modify them to your own
preferences - that's one of the great things with the Mac. One
tip if you use these - don't bother using Grey as a label color,
since it will appear exactly the same. Most of these icons are
grey-shaded, and therefore do not change when a Grey label color
is applied. Probably why Apple chose the ugly color it did, but
with 8-bit video in my IIsi there are more than enough colors
to go around. Those with 24-bit color (I'm R=0, G=65535, B=0 with
envy) have even more, so there. Have fun!

While you're downloading, get IConArtist by N. Jonus Englund. You'll need it to
install these icons in your System file. IConArtist is small (<50k), so it
won't be that much of a pain to download.

You must have ResEdit to install this.
You are free to do with this as you wish. Please don't

If you would like to throw your files away into a box instead of the Mac trash
can, then replace it with TrashBox. TrashBox is a replacement icon for your
trash can. It even shows files in the box after you've thrown them in there.
Use ResEdit to install it into your Finder file.
I came up with this when I noticed that I tend to use empty boxes to throw
away trash, so I decided to let my Mac imitate real life...

Using Resedit, open the System folder, then the System file itself. Find the icn# file, but leave it closed. Replace the icn# file with the only one of the two included (smiling toilet or plain toilet) and the new trash icon will appear after rebooting. It works on System 7.1.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
This is a fix to the Turnaround Textures. Apparently, when you use a colon
as the first character on a line, some utilities get confused. For example
Ken Sayward <sayward@vsdec.nl.nuwc.navy.mil> wrote, 'When I downloaded one
of your texture files from sumex (in binhex 4.0 format), the header
information you provided to describe the file contained ":-steve" at the
end. When I tried to decode the binhex (with Stuffit Deluxe), it found the
colon character before your name, and assumed that was the start of the
binhex segment. But the stuff
immediately following your name wasn't binhex code, so the decoding failed.
When I removed the colon from your signature, everything worked fine.'
Thanks Ken!
