Installing instructions for machines with a newer boot structure:
öXIconsò:
This file contains the majority of the replacement sprites. Copy it to the directory É!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDeskæ.
You will find that many applications override some of the replacement sprites (most notably the ones for sprites and JPEGs) with their own versions when they are seen by the Filer.
The É!Scan!Spræ program is designed to overcome this problem. It scans through all booted applications' directories for sprite files which contain a sprite whose name is the same as any of the sprites in É!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk.XIconsæ. If such a file is found, it is loaded into Paint, to allow you to delete the offending sprite from it.
You can run the program whenever one of the replacement icons has been overridden. In case the program keeps loading files whose contents you want to remain unaltered, you can prevent those files from being scanned by adding a call with their name to PROCnoscan near the start of É!Scan!Spr.!RunImageæ.
öCDIconsò:
Unfortunately, you cannot just place this file in ÉPredeskæ as well because once the CDFSFiler module starts up during the Welcome screen, it loads the icons inside ÉResources:$.Resources.CDFSFiler.SpritesXXæ. To load the replacement files *after* the original ones, copy ÉCDIconsæ to the directory É!Boot.Choices.Bootæ, then add the following line to É!Boot.Choices.Boot.Desktopæ:
IconSprites Choices:Boot.CDIcons
öOtherAppsò:
These icons should be copied manually into the relevant applications' É!Spritesæ files.
The sprites are Freeware and are Copyright 1998 Richard Atterer.
You must always spread this text along with the files. You need my permission to include any of the sprites in any other product.
If you want me to design an icon for your program (which is free for Freeware!), please contact me.
