- Just for something on the bright side, I did manage to find a feature of
- IconBuilder that I found really useful. If you select the Document Layout
- option you can specifiy what formats a picture will be in. So, you can
- make a file 2 bit and 12 bit. It has a pop-up menu in the bottom right of
- the image window for selecting which one you're currently editing. This
- is really useful for editing icons for color apps that you'd like to
- also look good in gray scale, since you're app will automatically pick
- the correct image to display depending on the output device availble.
