Converting icons

[nasty]

I've made quite afew PC icons over the years, and was wondering how I would go about converting my PC icons to use on my Amiga?

[nasty]

So how about if put the images in gif format would that still support transparency?

Cause my icon are like this

So i'll need to try and keep the transparency for them to look good!

Thanks for the hints guys,

Code: [Select]

Copy PowerIcons executable in C: or wherever you want.

  PowerIcons should be launched in your Startup-Sequence with RUN (it doesn't
  detach itself) JUST BEFORE LoadWB.
  A typical line would look like:

   ...
   Run >NIL: PowerIcons >NIL: [options]
   LoadWB
   EndCLI >NIL:


I tryed installing powericons , I put the exe in C then added the command to the startup-sequence but then wen I reboot it asks me to insert env in any drive? Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong?

Yip it was my dumb mistake, how do I change all the default icons to the new powericons.  I tryed iconcopy to replace the def_ icons but no joy.

[nasty]

the dumb mistake was adding it slightly to high in the startup-sequence, the main icom im having a problem replacing is the RAM icon.

I've got a complete backup incase anything goes wrong, its one thing i've learnt from a pc :-)

Thanks AMIGAZ :-)

I had another problem with the ram icon, the problem was I was using magic workbench so the default MW icon would always show, but I found its icon in the S drawer.  Since I've replace my standard 3.9 icons my Ram,CD'S AND Floppys drives icon keep appearing halfway down the screen is there anyway i can get them to stay lined up like my other partitions, ive tryed snapshot of all and icons but they just dont want to stay lined up!

[nasty]

put the icons where you want them, then do a snapshot, then copy the volumes' disk.info to envarc:sys/def_floppy.info, def_ram.info etc

I've lined all the icons up perfect and then took a snapshot, But I cant move the disk.info to the envarc:sys/ drawers as they just dont showup! unless I'm using a icon program. So am I mssing someway to get this info files to display on there volumes?

Ah thank you Moto! I'll never get the hang of all those commands :-D

[nasty]

I hope so :-D And thank you to you and all the other guys that have helped me on this thread :-)
