----------------------------
This is my second collection of NewIcons to be
released into the pd. I have included most of the
NIs that I have created from scratch myself, though
some of them rely heavily on filched artwork from
other collections on aminet (see below).
As with all NewIcons, these rely on the NI patch to
show up correctly, and in fact, that is what makes
them particularly useful. (For the uninitiated, NewIcons
allows icons to be displayed [particularly under KS3]
with dynamically assigned colours so that they always
look at least fairly good [with 1-3 planes] to great
with 4+ planes - i.e. no more icons that don't look right
with your Workbench Pallette).
So if you haven't yet, do try the NewIcons package to
fully enjoy my mini artworks!

More about NewIconsSH2
I have used the standard NI pallette for all of these
icons (I think) and have likewise made all the icons
the recommended 36x40 size. The only stylistic vari-
ation I have subscribed to at times is using a flat
view instead of the common isometric look. Don't get
me wrong, I do like the iso icons, just sometimes it's
nice to see something a little different, and some
icons just call out for it (e.g. Pagestream)

Software companies and authors:
I always find it a nice surprise to find a program
that already has newicons of its own..
If you want newicons support and need an icon I can be
contacted by email on s301677@student.uq.edu.au
(my wife's address) or by
voice on +61 7 290 0647 (Australia). I will
be most happy to help so please don't hesitate to
contact me.
AND ANOTHER THING...
Does anyone know of or want to write a utility to not only
get rid of icon borders (I know one of these exists) but to
get the wb background to cover the transparent colour in the
icon. I reckon this would look fab. Just try the iso icons
with NoBorder or whatever it's called and NO pattern. Now
imagine it with pattern going right up to the platform ...
Let me know what you think!

In the meantime
Thanks to the NewIcons team for liberating Workbench
from ugliness.
Try appchange to give appicons newicon facelifts
Try iconmiser to give project icons the same!
