- Description:
-
- Iconiser is a replacement iconiser for the one supplied with the Pinboard
- module. Iconiser still allows the other Pinboard functionality to be used.
- Iconiser is fully integrated with the Acorn help system Help. Only one copy
- of Iconiser can be running at the any time.
-
- A window is iconised in exactly the same was as with the Pinboard. The
- advantage of Iconiser over the Pinboard is that the icon for the window is
- placed at the right (or left) edge of the screen. This makes the icon more
- accessible than the iconising behaviour of Pinboard.
-
- Once iconised, the window can be re-opened by clicking Select on the icon
- window. If Adjust is clicked on the icon window then the window is still
- opened, but the icon window is left on the desktop. Clicking Adjust again on
- the icon window will close the window. When the window is opened with Adjust
- the icon is highlighted to show that the window is open.
-
- Now includes iconisation of tasks and variable length icon names.
