Short: 60 More NewIcon Images! Net,games,utils.. Author: Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt@u.washington.edu) Uploader: Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt u washington edu) Type: pix/icon Architecture: generic WHAT IS THIS? This is the second 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. WHAT'S IN IT? Included are images not found in the original NewIcons archive, NewIconsXtra set, or AesIcons1. Many 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 isoicon artists, such as Dave Wiles' nice work. Credit is due to these guys. This archive includes icons for many games, network/email stuff, utilities, commodities, etc. Included in the "envarcsys" drawer of this archive are some new deficons, including separate default picture icons for IFF, JPEG, and GIF files. If you are running deficons, the deficons program will identify which type of picture file it is, and show the appropriate icon. Since default JPG and GIF files were not included in the original NewIcons package (although supported), I decided to make these ones. The icons in the "envarcsys" drawer are the only ones in this archive you can copy straight across into your ENVARC:sys drawer. Don't forget to add your favorite pic viewer to the default tool if you want it to show up in the "Execute command" requester when you click on an iconless picture. The remainder of the icons in this archive should NOT be copied straight over to your other files. Read below on how to install them. A lot of people are having trouble placing their def_RAMDisk to show up in the right place on thier workbench. Here's the trick. Open your ENVARC:sys drawer (that is, Prefs/Env-archive/sys) and drag the def_RAMDisk icon directly onto the workbench where you want it to show up. Then snapshot it by selecting the icon and hitting RightAmiga-S. Then put the icon away by selecting the "Put Away" Workbench menu item. There! HEY SOFTWARE AUTHORS! For you software authors out there, how bout putting some NewIcon images in with the program? For those not using NewIcons, they don't see them anyway, and it saves me the trouble of having to deal with deleting those peach and 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. Kudos to Nicola 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. (The exception in this archive are the icons in the "envarcsys" drawer, which CAN be copied directly to your ENVARC:sys drawer). 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. Feedback is always appreciated. Enjoy!
