Welcome

Images Menu

Darken

The icon`s colors will be darkened - this option is only available for the new OS3.5 icons.

The items in the Images menu let you manipulate the images in the normal and selected view boxes and import IFF images created with other graphics programs.

Exchange

Swaps the images that appear in the normal view and the selected view.

Copy

Copy is dependent on the selected radio button. If Normal is used, the image in the normal view is copied to the selected view. If Selected is used, the image in the selected view is copied to the normal view.

Use Template

Loads a template icon into the magnified view box on which you can use as the foundation for creating a new icon.

Load

Loads previously saved images, without changing the name of the icon being edited. When you point to the Load menu item, a submenu (described below) appears.

Save Image

Saves an image as a standard IFF ILBM brush, rather than an icon.

Restore

Returns the IconEdit window to its state prior to opening the window or selecting New or Open.

The available Load submenu items are:

Image

Allows you to load an image data type file created by another program as either the normal or selected view, depending on which radio button is selected.
When you choose an item from the submenu, a requester asks you to specify the file to be loaded. You must specify the correct drawer and file name.

Normal Image

Loads the unselected image of the specified icon into the normal or selected view box, depending on which radio button is selected. (This is equivalent to dragging an icon into one of the boxes.)

Selected Image

Loads the selected image of the specified icon into the normal or selected view box, depending on which radio button is selected.

Both Images

Loads both the normal and selected images of the specified icon into the appropriate view boxes.

Extras Menu

The items in the Extras menu control additional convenience features of IconEdit.

Larger Sketchboard

Increases the drawing area IconEdit provides. Any existing elemens will retain their distance to the top and left edges of the sketchboard.

Smaller Sketchboard

Decreases the drawing area IconEdit provides, removing space from the bottom and the left of the sketchboard. If this would result in the image being truncated, IconEdit will ask for confirmation before cropping the image.

Minimal Sketchboard

Decreases the drawing area IconEdit provides, to the effect that all blank space to the right and bottom of the current image will be removed.

Auto TopLeft

Moves the image to the upper left corner of the magnified view box.

Add Glow

Automatically adds a glow effect to the icons, just like the standard OS3.5 icons have.

Borderless

If this menu item is active, the icon will be saved and displayed without a border, regardless of the global border settings from the Workbench preferences.

Settings Menu

The items in the Settings menu allow you to save various IconEdit options.

Use Grid?

Use Grid? Displays each pixel in the magnified view box distinctly, with the background color surrounding it. When Use Grid? Is not chosen, the pixels blend together smoothly. The default is for the grid to be on.

Save Optimized?

Choosing this option will cause the transparency color to be assigned the color number zero (if possible) and remove all colors from the icon`s palette that are not actually used.

Create Icons?

Create Icons? Saves an icon for the IFF brush file created by the Save Image menu option. If Create Icons? Is not chosen, no icon is saved. The default is for icons to be saved.

Slider Color Model

This submenu controls whether the RGB or HSB color model will be used for the color sliders.

Save Settings saves all of the current IconEdit settings, including the size and position of the IconEdit window, the file requesters, and all of the menu item settings.
