- Yeah, welcome to the real world. I do my work on a PB100 too and
- the inability to edit ics# is a frustration. My solution...
-
- o Create a small icon SICN (which is actually a list of them).
- o Put two small icons in the list.
- o Make the first one the icon and the second one the mask.
- o Make sure you get it right 'cause it's a pain to change.
- o Open the SICN using the hex editor, copy all the data.
- o Create an ics# and open it using the hex editor.
- o Paste the hex data in.
-
- Works for me (-:
