Were can i download PowerIcon?

[motorollin]

You're welcome! PNG icons are great. I'm still thinking of drawing some new ones for my A4000. I want to create some which look more Amiga-like than the ones I'm using now, but obviously are a bit smarter than the originals :-)

Solution: Let PowerIcons run. Put the RAM Disk icon where you want it and snapshot. Open a shell and type the following:

Copy RAM:disk.info S:ram.info

Then edit your startup-sequence and add the following line after PowerIcons runs:

Copy S:ram.info RAM:disk.info

Your solution has fixed it thank you very much indeed moto :-)

The odd thing is that I have not changed the Ram Disk or any of my partition or drawer icons to PNG. So far I have only run PowerIcons to be able to see the great demo icons. Oh well!

:cheers:

If I recall correctly (and who knows these days)  :-D   The ram disk isn't actually 'real'. When you:

Copy RAM:disk.info S:ram.info

you actually create a real icon in a real place and THEN you can Snap it where you want for all eternity.
Or something like that.

@ cecilia

Thanks for the links. I'll go and get some more icons now :pint:

My pleasure. I love to see all the Png icons people have made - they are such fun. It's THIS type of silly nonsense that has always made me love the Amiga.

Well I think your flowers and guitars are of awsome quality along the rest that I have seen so far :-)




I don't suppose things have advanced now so that you could use something similar to CopyIcon44 to simply drop a photo you fancy in the left window and then drop a drawer/partition/tool in the right window and get a nice PNG icon for it?

I think it's only available for MorphOS.

At least I haven't seen it for OS4 and I haven't seen anything like that for OS3.9

RAWBinfo allows you to drop the PNG icon in to the Information window of the destination icon, and it will replace the icon with the PNG. That app, however, requires OS3.5+.

Thanks again moto,

I've always seen rawbinfo in the WBStartup drawers of OS3.5 and OS3.9, but didn't know it was that which made the simple icon copying possible. It's pretty cool!


@ cecilia

Thanks. So if you see a photo on the Internet that you would like as a PNG icon to use with PowerIcons, how should you proceed? (just briefly) I guess you would have to reduce it to a small size first which is no problem at all.

As this question has been asked before I (cleverly)  :lol: wrote this little explaination of how to make a PNG icon if you are using IFX. Just download the PDF.

If you don't have IFX (What??!!), last I looked the steps should be understandable enough in most other image making programs. If you have questions, just ask me.

[A4000_Mad]

Just download the PDF.

I've got it thank you. It was indeed very clever of you to know that I would ask for instructions :lol:

If you have questions, just ask me.

Will do :pint:
