977.0. "Making/Editing ICONS" by WJG::GUINEAU (W. John Guineau III) Mon Dec 14 1987 14:19


I know this is all probably in ROM Kernal Listing, but -

ICONS.

I know I can edit with the picture iconED, and even change its name.
I know the name points to the executable to invoke on selection (double click)

I know I can change the icon's type (DISK, DRAWER, TOOL etc) with that
ICON tool thing (Which, BTW I couldn't get to work!)

But how do I get the icon to change it's picture on selection? Like the
pull out drawers, the MAKRAM (ha ha ha) etc ?

977.1	ICON MERGE is what you need	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico	`Mon Dec 14 1987 15:29`	7
	On the EXTRAS disk for V1.2, the ICON MERGE program is used for this. What it basically does is that it will merge two icons which you have created into one, so that the second icon image will appear after you have selected the first. The instructions accompanying it will give you more details. Miguel A. Alvarez
977.2	how about ICON-ed	BAXTA::PFISTER_ROB	No Pain, No Pain	`Mon Dec 14 1987 15:54`	3
	does the merge option of ICON-ed also do this?? Robb
977.3	merge...	HYSTER::DEARBORN	Trouvez Mieux	`Mon Dec 14 1987 16:00`	4
	No, it just merges two images into one...I believe. Randy
977.4	how about splitting?	CIMNET::KYZIVAT	Paul Kyzivat	`Mon Dec 14 1987 18:04`	4
	Is there anything around to take apart the two images of an icon - the inverse of merge? Paul
977.5		BAGELS::BRANNON	Dave Brannon	`Mon Dec 14 1987 18:10`	7
	hmmm... why stop at a primary and alternate icon? Imagine clicking on an icon, then it animates by flipping thru a bunch of alternate images. Then runs the program. Sorry.. been staring at the Ameoba Invaders icon too long -dave
