Short: Yet More NewIcon Images!Locale,ParNet,more.. Author: Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt@u.washington.edu) Uploader: Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt@u.washington.edu) Type: pix/icon WHAT IS THIS? This is the third set of my NewIcon images for your Workbench. These all use the standard NewIcon palette, so they won't allocate any extra pens from your workbench if you are already using Newicons. IMPORTANT! If you are not running NewIcons, these will only look like little squares and you won't see any cool icons. See below on how to install them. WHAT'S IN THIS VERSION? Included are nearly 60 images not found in the original NewIcons archive, NewIconsXtra set, or previous AesIcons archives. Most are totally original, some are adapted from parts of Roger McVey's work, and a few others are adapted from images done by other aspiring icon artists. This archive includes icons for Parnet, Fax Software, utilities, some games, and internet programs. Also included are some (very cool, IMHO :) locale drawers with flags. If your country is not in there, email me and I'll make one for you. A word about the ParNet icons. Deficons recognizes a def_NetDisk.info for which you can use one of these icons for the default Net: icon on your Workbench when you start ParNet. If you want to do this, use copynewicon to transfer the image over to a drawer or disk icon named def_NetDisk.info, then copy it over to your Envarc:sys drawer. Also included are some icons to use for your node.rinfo icons. NewIcons recognizes these too! Read the Parnet docs on how to use node.rinfo for your network icons. Basically, if you use injectbrush and inject your image into a drawer icon, then rename it to "node.rinfo", you can put these icons into your partitions and these images will pop up as device icons when accessing Parnet throught the Workbench. Pretty cool, huh? HEY SOFTWARE AUTHORS! For you software authors out there, how bout putting some NewIcon images in with your programs? For those not using NewIcons, they don't see them anyway, and it saves me the trouble of having to deal with deleting those purple MWB icons and me having to make new images for your software. You can easily make them from DPaint IFF brushes. Regardless of whether you prefer MWB or NewIcon images, it's important to remember that the NewIcons system works with either type of image, and gives you the benefit of not having to worry about what your palette is set to in preferences. The images will auto-remap to the appropriate color. Personally, I prefer the NewIcons style, but you can use NewIcons to adapt your icons to any style you like. Thanks to Nicola Salmoria for making such a fine system, and to Roger for his excellent artwork. It's been fun working with you guys. HOW DO I INSTALL THESE TINY LITTLE SQUARES? If you plan to use these images, you need the NewIcons Package. It's available on Aminet (pub/aminet/util/wb/NewIcons.lha). If you are not running NewIcons, you will only see little squares for the icons, and this package will be of no use for you. To install these images, use the "copynewicon" utility to transfer the images over to the appropriate icon. DON'T use the "creatdefaulticon" utility. That's for creating NewIcon images for files that don't have ".info" files attached to them. Copynewicon is safe to use on your existing icons, because it won't mess with your default tool or your tooltypes. Also, DON'T just copy the .info file over to your existing programs, because you won't keep your default tool or tooltypes that way either. Like the NewIcons documentation says, think of this collection as a catalog of "images" rather than icons, from which you copy the image over to your other programs, rather than replacing the whole icon itself. This set is freely distributable, and the individual icons may be used or modified as you please. If you pass on the package to others, please keep the archive intact with its documentation. These icons were created with DeluxePaint IV AGA, NED (NEwicons Editor, Roger McVey's NewIcon editor - still in beta form) and NewIcon2brush. Final formatting was done with killoldicon. Feedback is always appreciated. If you use these icons, and love (or hate) them, send me some e-mail. Enjoy!
