PNG icons: How to make them.

[cecilia]

If you have MorphOS or Power Icons for OS3.9 I've made a PDF which explains how to make PNG icons using ImageFX4.5.  PDF of PNG icon tutorial

Plus, I've made about a dozen PNG icons
downloaded from here. They are all butterflies, but I made them partly using ZoneXplorer. So, I think they look cool. But that's me..

here's what they look like:

thanks fellas!
while I don't "hate" the icons that come with MOS, what makes our computers so cool is that we can have anything we want on them.

While I do like certain icon sets that look more "computer" like, I REALLY like icons that look more organic. and artistic.

and while no one has to like mine, I just want to help anyone out that want to make their own.

as PNG is 24/32 bit, you can easily take a picture and use it as a starting point to making a cool personal icon.

yup! PNG is good!

and did you see my tastless saddam icon here ?
download it and change it's name to xxxx.icon and away you go!!

[cecilia]

I think you mean xxxx.info

yes, i've had a bad month. pay no attention!

as to what and how MOS handles icons is all above my head.
I've looked for some info on this, but haven't yet found anything. nothing substancial, anyway.

If i do find something i'll post it.

at this point the really important thing is that it works. my icons work on my emulation and MOS, so that's all good!

hey, that's right!
i have power icons because i use them on my emulation.
yes, i'll check the docs. thanks
