Hi there!
Many thanx for e-mail that I have recived. Here is next release of my icons.
This time icons are designed for proportional modes (for eg. 640 x 512)
1.Preface
=========
This time archive contains all system icons and many application icons.
Icons are designed to use first 16 colours of WB palette. They are not
compatibile with MagicWB, and will look ugly with standard WB palette 8(.
The difference to MagicWB is that they are very colorfull. If you use Magic
WB You will have to remap them for my palette. It is possible because
palette that I use has a part that I call LightBrown Scale (first 8 colours
of my palette). Use for example Iconian and Brilliance:
[1] Make screen shot (use QuickGrab or sth. like this)
[2] Remap to my palette with a paint program (DPaint, Brilliance)
[3] Cut brushes form icons.
[4] Replace images with remapped brushes.
You should notice that Magic WB icons will still loog gray.
2. How to install
=================
#1. Find a program that will allow you to set and lock first 16 colours of your
WBpalette. Because many people e-mailed me that they cannot find such a tool I
decided to include ProcurePrefs program written by Joseph Luk for more details
see README file in drawer ProcurePens. The archive PensPrefs.LHA is kept intact.
It is also available on Aminet.
I am not the author of this software. If You use it see the ProcurePens.doc file
in this archive.
PROCUREPENS Copyright © by Joseph Luk. All rights reserved!
#2. Change WB screenmode to use HiRes mode (640x512) use
PAL-HiRes-Lace,
NTSC-HiRes-Lace,
DBLPAL HiRes-No Flicker,
DBLNTSC HiRes-NoFlicker.
Note that you should use 32 colours screen or more!!!
=====================================================
It will work with 16 (if PatchPens is used) colours,
but You will not be able to change WB colours !!!!!!!
=====================================================
#3. Set WB palette with standard prefs or just copy (recomended)
contents of drawer Prefs/ENVARC (from this archive) to your ENVARC:
(SYS:Prefs/Envarc).This drawer contains also default icons tool, disk,
project for your WB. If You plan to use ProcurePens first four colours must be
set to simmilar values like those shown on JBCpal_set.iff picture.
#4. Install your color-patching program (see #1).
If you have PatchPens:
- copy PatchPens to Your C: drawer
- Add to User-Startup folowing line:
c:patchpens
- copy PensPrefs program to SYS:Prefs
- Reboot machine
- Start Prefs/PensPrefs program
- From project menu select "Open.." and select JBCpalette.iff (included in
this archive)
- Press save button.
- Your WB palette is ready
If you want to use ProcurePens see README file in ProcurePens drawer
If you have other programm folow the installation instruction included with
it. To set pallette use JBCpallette.iff file or JBCpal_set.iff file.
#5. Copy my icons to your drawers
Note that some of icons contains tooltypes. If You replace Your icons to new
one, You will have to adjust it tooltypes.
If you do not want this to happen look on Aminet for tool that will replace
images only (f.eg. it is in NewIcons archive)
You can simply replace all your icons.
3. Contents:
===========
-Drawer System_Icons contains all system icons copy its contents to your SYS:
partition. You can simply copy it's contents to Your SYS: partition.
-Drawer Disk_Icons contains icons for your disk.
Example of installation: (replace App: with name of your partitions)
To use them delete disk.info from your partition "App:"
CLI> delete App:disk info
copy HD_App_Disk.info (or other choosen icon) to your "App:",
CLI> copy Disk_Icons/HD_App_Disk.info to App:
rename App:HD_App_Disk.info to App:disk.info
CLI> rename App:HD_App_Disk.info to Disk.info
follow this steps for each partition you want to.
To use RamDisk icon do this:
make directory SYS:RDIcon
copy RamDisk.info to this drawer
add to Your User-Startup line:
copy SYS:RDIcon/RamDisk.info to RAM:disk.info
Now after reboot your Ramdisk will have new icon.
-System_Icons/Prefs contains Env-Archive drawer (its contents should be copied
to your ENVARC: drawer.
-Applications&Misc/Applications contains icons for many applications,
it also contains icons
for drawer in wich you keep applications
