1000.0. "Building Icons in XMB format ?" by 42441::SUMNERC (UK OpenVMS counter intelligence) Fri Sep 22 1995 07:05

    Hi,
    
    I'm noew to console manager.  A customer is asking if we know the
    whereabouts on "Building" Icons in XMB format.
    
    His idea is to click on Buildings to reveal the machines located
    in that building/site.
    
    Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

    It's pretty easy for your customer to design their own. Just tell them
    to bring up decpaint( $mcr decw$paint), create their building bitmap, 
    and then save it in 'xbm' format (X bitmap). 
    
    The final step is to copy the new bitmap to the proper bitmap directory. 
    Oh yes, there is one final step. The bitmap extension for the new bitmap 
    but be changed to whatever_filename.GROUP_XBM. They must then copy 
    this new bitmap file to CONSOLE$ICONS:. The final step is to go to the 
    C3 interface, enter into edit mode, click on the group icon and modify it. 
    Any file named *.GROUP_XBM will appear in the icon list. Just click on
    the new one and bingo, you're done. This is probabily the easiest
    solution. 
    
    They can also create their own background bitmaps using the above
    steps. The filename extensions for background bitmaps is 
    'bitmap_filename.BG_XBM'.
