Description:
AIBM is a Icon Box Manipulator that free's icons into there natural habitat.
Introduction:
If you have O.S. 2.x or 3.0 then you are already used to the borderlines
around all icon's.
That's a nice look but the surprise of an icon changing shape is gone,
because you know from the start how big it's going to be.
If you haven't done so already, click one of the included example icons to
see what AIBM can do to bring back that surprise.
AIBM is a hack to alter the size of the icon box and should only be used by
experienced users (see BUGS).
Instalation:
Copy AIBM to your favorite tools directory ;-)
Requirements:
An Amiga running O.S. 2.0 or higher.
Usage:
AIBM works only from the CLI / SHELL.
AIBM [?] <iconfilename> <height> <width>
Example:
AIBM Ram:Disk 19 36
Will alter the Ram:Disk.info to be 19 high and 36 pixels in width.
AIBM DF0:Empty +14 -9
Will alter the DF0:Empty.info drawer icon adding 14 pixels to the height
and removing 9 pixels from the width relative to the current size.
See the included example icons to get the idea.
Note:
Don't add .info to the icon filename
Options:
Only one option... running AIBM ? will put up a help text.
Using the wrong numer of arguments will cause AIBM to put up a usage
template.
Bugs:
WARNING! USE AIBM AT YOUR ONE RISK!!!
Remember you are cheating the O.S. which relies on the size of the box to
represent the image size!
So don't be surprised when your Amiga crashes if the icon box has a
negative size and the Workbench tries to display it!
AIBM doesn't do any sanety cheking on the icons you manipulate, so take
care when reducing your icons in size.
DON'T SPREAD ICONS WITH NEGATIVE VALUES!!!
AIBM was made to enjoy the Amiga not to irritate other users by crashing
their machine.
Version:
AIBM v1.0 is the first public release.
