Icons-Window

The Icons-Window has three major functions: changing filetypes
of icons on the desktop, setting up of some desktop-specific options
and creating of icons with nearly unlimited size and quality.

Options:

File               filename of the desktop-files
Trashcan-Action    lets you selected if you want to remove only
                   icons or icons and files


Icon-Saver:

Image1             filename of the first (normal) image of the
                   icon to be generated
Image2             optional 2nd image
Icon               icon-file to be generated
Color              sets the type of palette to be generated
Width              specified the icon-width, the height depends
                   on the aspect of the 1st image
Depth              number of colors used for rendering
Convert            After pressing the convert-button the images
                   are loaded, scaled and rendered using the
                   current screen-palette. If you want to create
                   icons for the Workbench you have open Wildfire
                   on the Workbench-screen (temporary). If you want
                   to create icons in high quality use a very high
                   screen-depth and convert the created icons into
                   NewIcons later.

Change the filetype:

If Wildfire didn't recognise the type of an external file correctly
you can change this type by simply dragging the icon into the
Icon-Window. After that a requester displaying the current and
the available filetypes will appear.
