ICONS CONTROL The indispensable tool to process Windows icons ------------ INTRODUCTION ------------ Icons Control is designed to display as many Windows icons as possible in a 10x10 grid. Icons can be copied, renamed, moved, and erased with a click of the mouse. Hardcopy of icons can be printed on any printer supported by Windows. Icons Control can even display icons embedded inside DLL or EXE files. Displayed icons can be edited, converted to bitmaps, or extracted to ICO format (in the DLL or EXE viewing mode). In addition, 32x32-pixel bitmaps can also be converted to ICO format. Conversion and extraction can be done in batch mode, thus saving a considerable amount of time for those of you with large number of icons to process. Furthermore, any portion of the screen can be captured into an icon or bitmap. For a complete description of Icons Control, please refer to the help file accessible by clicking on the Help icon from outside as well as inside the program. ---------------------------------------------------- DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SHAREWARE AND REGISTERED VERSION ---------------------------------------------------- SHAREWARE: * Copy. * Rename. * Move. * Delete. * Edit. * ICO to BMP conversion. * Printing hardcopy of icons. * No "nag" screen (I don't believe in "nag" screen" ;-) REGISTERED: Above functions plus: * BMP to ICO conversion. * Icons extraction from DLLs and EXEs. * Captures any portion of the screen into an icon. * Access to image flip, shift, and rotate tools. * Printing of icons using color optimization. * Your name (or your company name) is displayed on the opening screen and in the About window.
