------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTRO: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to v3.1 of Ed's Icons. This set now has 214, or so, icons for IBM OS/2 (2.x-Warp). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHAT'S NEW: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This set is organized into English alphabet folders: A - W. A few of the icons need to be used in colour mode higher than 256-colours for them to display properly. The new icons and folders have been hand-tuned for 16x16,20x20,32x32 & 40x40. A Special Thanks to Christian LangankeI of Germany for tuning many of the folder icons. I hope to tune the BJ-series printers, and the few others icons not tuned, too--my target for a completely tuned set is v4. NEW! Animated portfolio icons for projects based on NeXTSTEP 1.x folders. NEW! Animated printer icons for when the WPS provides support! NEW! Icons for Clipboard Viewer & Visual Age C++ NEW! Two 3D shredder icons! ( shredr2.ico is one of my best yet!) NEW! The animated folders are nearly all tuned for 40x40 also! Thanks for your patience! NEW! Dot Matrix, HP & Fax icons at 40x40 NEW! Animated portfolio icons for projects based on NeXTSTEP 1.x folders. NEW! Six alternate pointers: 1 arrow, 3 illegal, 1 insertion and a Mac wait (in Pointers folder) Look for the latest Ed's icons on AOL and at hobbes.cdrom.com. They'll also be available in THE OS/2 Collection maintained by Fred Ng (fredng@io.org). Set #4 will be the first available on my upcoming Web site. Select icons will appear in another as-yet unamed set coming soon. The folder, hard drive and trash can icons are inspired by the forthcoming 'Copland' MacOS System 8. Thanks to IMJERRY for sending that file. Most all others are from or inspired by NeXTStep & its apps. ATM, Watcher, Arch, Pyramid, Fractal icons by my friend S.D. Heath, used with permission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OS/2 WorkPlace TIPS: [2] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A. Try out the Trash icons with TrashCan 1.4 by Kai Sommerfeld! email: ks1@irz.inf.tu-dresden.de B. Stack & Stack Open are icons for Warp animated folders. I thought folders were a little too formal so a Mac-loving friend of mine created these stack icons for me. 1. Drag a folder off the Folder templates into the Templates folder. 2. Open the Settings notebook. 3. Rename the folder to Stack. 4. Drag-Drop the Stack icon to the icon on the General page. Drag the Open Stack icon to the second General page (in Warp only). 5. Click on Template (General page 1 in Warp). Now you can either drag a Stack off the template OR you can select Stack from the right mouse button pop-up of a folder under Create Another! Have fun! I set my Stack to automatically sort by date. Play around! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MISC: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to those that sent comments & suggestions (and read this far)!
