The Overview Window displays all of the pictures of various sizes and depths that make up an icon. These are called <i>icon elements</i>.You can double-click on one to edit the image it represents. You can also drag from one icon element to another to duplicate the image.<P>
You can cut or copy any selected icon element from the edit menu. You can then paste the icon resource directly into a resource editor such as <B>ResEdit</B> or any application prepared to accept icon data pasted into it.<P>
To remove an icon element, select it and click the <B>Remove Icon Element</B> button in the bottom center of the Overview Window, or select <B>Clear</B> from the edit menu. Remember that if you make a mistake, you can always <B>Undo</B> it from the Edit menu.<P>
The <B>Mask</B> elements on the right-hand column control which parts of the icon are clickable and which parts are visible. A description of masks can be found <a href="started.help#_mask">here</a>.<P>
In Icon Brush II, the overview window is resizable in the vertical direction. You can make the window smaller and a scrollbar will appear on the right, which is used to scroll various icon elements into view.<P>
Another feature introduced in version II is the ability to drag-select multiple icon elments. This works just like in the finder, and saves you the trouble of shift-clicking a bunch of consecutive elements.<P>
The overview window also has a contextual menu. Control-click in the window and on icon elements and a contextual menu pops up, allowing you quick access to common commands.
