Short: Pseudo snapshot r/o-media-/App-Icons
Author: iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de (Kai Iske)

Type: util/wb
ForceIcon is an utility mainly for users of CDRom drives
or users of networking software capable of sharing devices
and icons. Since one can not snapshot the position of a
volume`s icon (on read only media), nor replace it by a
user-defined one, I wrote this utility. ForceIcon allows
you to set the position of a disk`s icon and/or replace
it by a different image/icon which doesn`t have to be a
disk.info file. All types of ".info" files may be selected.
Special features include inheritance of device specific
settings, specifying the root drawer`s size/position
and display flags/modes. Furthermore you may alter the
look and position of AppIcons. Giftware, includes Source
Requires MUI (MagicUserInterface) version 7 (MUI 2.0)
Changes since v1.7 :
- Added NewIcons icons for both programs.
(Submitted and converted by : Joachim Worringen. Thanks)
- Improved way of determining whether an old (Non-AppIcon-
Supporting) version of FIcon is running, as it seems the
other method didn`t work on WB 2.x systems.
(Reported by : Michael Barsoom)
- Sigh, one small, simple bug made ForceIcon unusable in
conjunction with ToolManager. (Should write D0,-(sp) instead
of D2,-(sp) next time)
(Reported by : Well, too many. This way you get an
impression, how many people are using ForceIcon ;))
Changes since v1.6 :
- Changed layout of Prefs program to standard Prefs type
window. Except for "Create icons?" everything should
be fine, now.
(Suggested + Requested by : Georges Goncalves)
- Added full featured AppIcon support.
(Requested by : Georges Goncalves & Peter Källegren)
- FIcon-Prefs requested any muimaster.library, even though
V7 was minimum!
Changes since v1.5 :
- Using ForceIcon you may even "SnapShot" Disk icons now.
Use SnapShot and then select SAVE from the Prefs program
- No more quit requesters will be shown
(Requested by : Bernhard Moellemann)
- You may now even enter relative coordinates (relative to
Workbench Screen`s width/height) for the icon`s position.
This is accomplished through negative values for
IconX/IconY
(Requested by : Bernhard Moellemann)
- IconPosition window is smaller now
(Requested by : Bernhard Moellemann)
- Sort routine could create enforcer hits!
Changes since v1.4 :
- The Width/Height fields of the EditEntry window
were mixed up.
- Bug with position window fixed: It didn`t adopt
the changes.
- Drawer window fix: The window didn`t reflect the
changes to the integer gadgets
- Position window didn`t reflect changes either
- Hints and tips added (small FAQ)
Changes since v1.3 :
- Added Server/Prefs concept. The main program comes
with no GUI. It is controlled through an external
Prefs editor.
- Prefs Editor rewritten to use MUI (version 7)
- Inheritance added. Volume entries may inherit settings
from the corresponding device entry now.
- Better code for scanning the DOS-List entries
- Online Help
- Diskchanges will be sent to all known volumes/devices
on startup, now. This way you might be able to start
ForceIcon from within SYS:WBStartUp
- Added memory pool support
- Edit entry will cause a diskchange to the volume/device
so that you may see the changes you`ve made
- More and better cloning of window flags
- Added pattern support
- Some bugfixes
Changes since v1.2 :
- Code cleanup
- Partial rewrite of docs
Changes since v1.1 :
- You may copy an entry now
Changes since v1.0 :
- ForceIcon will adopt the orig. window position and size now.
- Icons weren`t positioned as set with the Position window.
- The X/Y coordinates may be set manually, now.
- ListView gadgets weren`t adjusted for OS 2.x. - Should check
for OS 2.x sometime ;)
... and some minor enhancements and bugfixes
