Homer's New Icon Collection
by
George D Papdan
INTRODUCTION
------------
I've bet you've already unarchived this file as quick as possible and had a
look at all the icons up for offer. I know I would have. This is my
contribution to New Icon users. Even if you find just one of these good
enough to use will make me happy! :)
New Icons is still a considerably new standard, so there are still only a
few New Icons archives out there. (Especially since there are still people
who use Magic Workbench) If you make some nice icons, don't be affraid to
put them up on the net.
INSTALLATION
------------
All these icons are New Icons style. I assume that if you can see the
icons then you have got New Icons installed. My Workench is setup with
640x512 x 32 colours. Any less colors usually cause these icons to look
poor quality wise. I advise that you use at least 32 colours for good
results.
Use the CopyNewIcon utility to paste any icon over an older one. For more
detail, read the documentation.
If you haven't got the documentation because you haven't got New Icons,
then go out and get it. You'll find it at aminet sites around the internet.
Look in the /pub/aminet/util/wb directory.
ICON LIST
---------
So what type of icons have I got for you? Well, some of them are mixes of
icons in the older archives, edited and tweaked. There are some really
nice ones which I'm proud of. Some don't adhere to the standard isoicons
with that 3D look, but hey, some have to be different! :)
- Well, I am also an AMI/TCP user, so I've made some of my own icons.
- There is an extensive blanker module list. SwazBlanker had icons for its
modules and I think so do a few others, and so I've made icons for all of
them, plus others asside.
- I've also drawn quite a few utility icons. eg. Scala, ImageFX and MUI
- Last but not least some Simpsons icons. Sure there might not be any
particular use for them but they look alright. Besides, it helps with the
"Homer" attribute of the icon collection! :)
THE REST
--------
First, I want to acknowledge Nicola Salmoria hard work for New Icons. I
can say for sure that he has achieved in making the Amiga desktop look more
professional.
If you have any comments about these icons, write to
