- I think the user should have the choice of what icon they want to use
- for an AppIcon, as the one you supply may clash with their other
- icon styles. Since a program has to create the AppIcon, you may
- as well have its name reflect the fact that it is an AppIcon, or
- have that be a user setting as well.
-
- the program icon would be: Program
- the AppIcon for program would be: Program.1 or Program_App or ...
-
- Having an AppIcon should be a user setting, as I may already have created one
- with ToolManager, and not want to have 2 AppIcons for the same thing.
-
- I see no great reason to make AppIcons with different borders than standard
- Icons, as I keep the 2 separate. AppIcons are out in the workbench window,
- while Tool/Project Icons are in their drawers.
