ANI.AMI.ICONS
(Animated Amiga Icons)
by
R.G. Tambash
These animated icons were designed to be employed with an eight color
workbench. Each one was created as two brushes with DeluxePaint III
(© Electronic Arts, Inc.), then converted to icons using "brush2icon"
(author unknown, ref AMICUS.9) and merged into a single animated icon
using IconMerge (© Comodore-Amiga, Inc., ref Extras Disk).
To view these images in their original colors, it may be necessary to
temporarily reset your color registers. The following table defines
the proper settings:
| REGISTER | RGB VALUES | HEX | EXPECTED |
| NUMBER | RED | BLU | GRN | VALUE | COLORS |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 0 | 00 | 00 | 10 | 00A | Blue |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 1 | 15 | 15 | 15 | FFF | White |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 2 | 00 | 00 | 00 | 000 | Black |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 3 | 14 | 00 | 00 | E00 | Red |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 4 | 09 | 09 | 09 | 999 | Grey |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 5 | 15 | 12 | 10 | FCA | Flesh |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 6 | 00 | 11 | 06 | 0B6 | Green |
|------------|-----|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| 7 | 13 | 11 | 00 | DB0 | Yellow |
If you haven't yet upgraded to an eight color workbench you may still
see the icons in all their intended colors. Beg, borrow or purchase
a copy of XColor (by Roger Fischlin, ref FISH.244). It'll allow you
to add bit-planes and change colors "on the fly".
Some of these images may seem familiar. That is no accident. Many
of these icons were based on four color icons, some animated and some
unanimated, that have appeared at various times. Nonetheless, these
icons are all of my creation and as such are copyrighted. The icons
are freely distributable, with all of the rights and responsibilities
that implies, provided this text file is included with any subsequent
redistribution.
Most of these works are TOOL type icons (normal "brush2icon" output).
You may wish to convert them to a different icon type before they can
be utilized. I employed IconImage (by Denis S. Green, ref FISH.120)
for that purpose.
If anyone would like help in implementing an eight color workbench or
in creating their own custom animated icons I will be happy to answer
any snail mail inquiries. In addition, I'll make available a single
disk containing all the appropriate public domain and shareware tools
necessary to create and display your own eight color icons. Also on
this disk are screen capture programs and a few animated (some should
be considered as "R-Rated") eight color icons. If you've a question
please send a "self addressed stamped envelope" or $5.00 U.S. for the
disk to me at the address below.
