- PLEASE USE 32-BIT QUICKDRAW ! ALL KNOWN PROBLEMS ARE GONE SINCE APPLE RELEASED THIS FABULOUS
- PIECE OF CODE.
-
- FOR RESEDIT 1.2 AND LATER.
-
- Features :
-
- This is version 1.0b4 of ResCicn, which is a color icon editor, composed of a set of resources
- that you must copy in ResEdit. Copy even the picker & the ldef as Apple's are quick and dirty).
- You may use it even if you don't have Color QuickDraw.
-
- You can switch between two modes with the cicn menu : Icon Editor and Sizing & Settings.
-
- The Icon editor mode allows you to edit the color icon, the mask and the black and white icon,
- using various tools, including circles, rectangles, paint bucket and much more. The color icon
- appears only if you have Color QuickDraw.
-
- You can always see, at the bottom of the window, the various aspects that the icon may take.
- You can see the current color and pattern in two blocks at the right of the tools palette. You
- should notice that the patterns are drawn using the current color, even if it is white.
- A pop-up menu appears when you press the mouse button on each of them. The first one lets you
- select a color included in the icon's color palette, or create a new one using the color picker.
- The second one lets you select a different pattern. If you double-click instead of pressing the
- mouse button, you can edit the current color using the color picker, or edit the current pattern.
-
- You can copy one view's (icon, mask or black and white icon) content to another by dragging its
- title to the other one's title, which should be inverted. When copying from the color icon's view,
- non-white pixels become black unless you press the option key, in which case non-black pixels
- become white. When copying to the mask's view, a mask is generated from the source view unless you
- press the shift key (even with the option key), in which case the source is simply duplicated.
-
- The Sizing and settings mode allows you to change various parameters, including the sizes, the
- color modes and so on. This mode is fresh-coded so be careful when resizing an existing icon.
-
- The "check box" on the left of the black and white icon allows you to x-able it. You may try the
- other options of this mode by yourself.
-
-
- Known problems :
-
- Sometimes you can't draw with a color you've just created. Close the icon and reopen it !
-
-
- This is an interim version. I'm working on 1.0 release. New features…
-
- You'll have also ccsr, ppat, icl4 & icl8 editors.
