                                     WHAT?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I do what?

How do I create such nice icons.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  LIKE THIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you want to create such icons, you must choose you workbench colors.
This means you have to set 2, 4 or 8 colors, and set palette-preferences.
These settings will remain that way all the time you're working on the icons.

Now you go into DOpus, and configure a button like this:

    AmigaDOS:    rx rexx:ImageIcon.rexx {f} 80 60 1
    Do All Files
    Output window
    No Filename Quotes
    Close Delay: 2
    CD Source
    Rescan Source

Where:  80: iconwidth in pixels, for the demo, I used 160.
        60: iconheight in pixels, I used 120.
        1:  code for dither to apply on the icon.
                0: None (Black & White ?)
                1: Floyd-Steinmann (Full color)
                there are more

I myself find the given example above very usefull.

Go into DOpus again, and make your source directory appear in one of your
windows. There, you select the images you want an icon for.

Press the configured ICON-button, and wait till it is ready.

Your icon is ready now.

Have a look at it in your workbench.

                                     THE END
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try that with any other platform!
