-
- Description:
- ------------
-
- The first function of this program is to search for files containing
- icons (ICO, EXE, DLL, BMP). Then it is possible to either copy any
- icon found to the clipboard or to save it as a file (ICO or BMP).
- While one can manually search for icons by individually opening files,
- I was just to lazy. So I created this program to conduct the search
- and display the icons for me.
- The second function is manipulations with desktop wallpaper. You can
- use any found icon or bmp-file as wallpaper. Only one click and you
- can see the result on the screen. You can set centered or tiled
- wallpaper. This function reminds mosaic game.
-
- I plan even more to strengthen opportunities of this program. And in
- following versions of IconTOY you will see the following novelties:
- -Work with JPEG-files;
- -Opportunity to change Desktop shortcuts from IconTOY;
- -More graphic effects for Desktop wallpaper.
- To the registered users the following version of the IconTOY will be
- given free-of-charge.
