- Iconian v1.90 beta
-
- Well, I tire of this project. So I'm unleashing it upon the
- unsuspecting Amiga community. Take it as a god-send wonder, or as an
- example for the value of the DELETE command. I made this program to fit
- my taste. It may also be yours, or it may be the ugliest thing you've
- ever seen. I don't really care at this point.
-
- Just some thing's I will mention to make using this monster a bit
- easier.
-
- When you select "SAVE" or "Save Prefs", this will also save the window
- positions and sizes. Then, next time you start Iconian, your new
- positions will be used instead of the NTSC 640x200 defaults. This may
- be a pain, though, if you are constantly changing your Iconian
- preferences...
-
- Also, the preference window doesn't contain any documentation.
-
- Remap Brushes: If ON, a FindColor will be used to determine pen color.
- This should be ON for about 99% of all cases.
-
- Immediate draw: If this is ON, then as soon as you click inside a
- window, you will start drawing. This is useful if you are drawing in
- both the magnified window and the viewer windows. If OFF, then you must
- first activate the window, then click a second time to start drawing.
-
- Use crosshairs: This is an easy one. Turn it off if you don't like my
- crosshair sprite.
-
- Save Eight: This forces all saved icons to eight planes. This is the
- way original MagicWB icons are saved. They are usually bigger than
- neccessary, due to extra plane info. But, they are able to be displayed
- correctly under different screen depths. Remember WorkBench 3.0 has a
- funny way of determining palette colors and pens...
-
- Relative Coords: This gadget is not connected, so don't expect it to
- work.
-
- Visible Grid: This will draw lines between the magnified pixels. Only
- works at higher magnifications. Be forewared that this is SLOW. Use at
- will.
-
- Mag Draw Only: This means you will unable to draw within the viewer
- windows.
-
- Obey Locks: Turning this OFF will allow you to edit ANY RGB values on
- the public screen. Only use this if you know what you are doing!
-
- Strip Planes: This overrides Save Eight. If ON, Iconian will search
- for the highest used color in the icon, and strip any extra planes.
-
- Don't Lend: Left over from previous versions, and does NOTHING.
-
-
- The 't' key will bring up the "enter text" window.
- Pressing the 'T' key will bring up the font requester.
- Pressing the RETURN key will change from the current brush to text mode.
- Pressing 'B' will recall the last cut brush after selecting "enter
- text".
-
-
-
- To receive a version without the annoying requesters, (Or for any
- latest version I may have done.) send me a SASE envelope, a blank disk,
- and 10$ (U.S.).
