Short: OptIcon,Icon2c,IconMaker (featuring DOpus5+MWB) Author: ferber@rpk.mach.uni-karlsruhe.de (Tobias Ferber) Uploader: tf antares ping de (Tobias Ferber) Type: util/wb Replaces: util/wb/itools_1.42.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: GPL This package includes OptIcon, Icon2c and IconMaker. OptIcon optimizes Workbench icon files for size and speed. I.e. planes which are entirely 0 or 1 are modified to use the Image's PlanePick and PlaneOnOff fields, trailing 0-planes are removed. OPTICON ALLOWS YOU TO LIMIT THE # OF BITPLANES IN ICON FILES. YOU MAY NEED THIS TO CUT OFF ALL BUT THE FIRST PLANES OF THE IMAGES BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH COMMODORE'S ICON EDITOR WHICH ALWAYS WRITES 8 BITPLANE IMAGES !!! This speeds up Martin Huttenloher's MagicWB icons by a factor of 2-3 !! A scriptfile to patch a complete directory tree's icon files is included in this archive. THIS VERSION OF OPTICON NOW ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO EXPAND YOUR 8 OR MORE COLOR ICONS FOR THE USE ON A 16 OR MORE COLOR WORKBENCH. This is important due to the new color system under OS3.x which always shifts the second 4 colors to the end of the system palette. Therefore you might want to adapt an icon's color depth to the actual screenmode it is used on. Icon2c generates a highly documented and directly compilable C sourcecode from an icon image. If compiled w/ -DTEST option an executable will be generated which writes back the original icon to disk. This allows you to modify an icon in detail for your own needs. IconMaker creates icons from IFF/ILBM brushes. This allows an overview of your brushes on the Workbench! (e.g. for DOpus5 brushes, Workbench patterns, etc.)
