The editing window displays two representations of the icon: a large zoomed-in square that’s eight times bigger than the actual icon, and a small square to its right that is the icon's actual size. The larger zoomed square is where the editing takes place. New icons appear as solid green with a black square surrounding each pixel representation. The pixels are, of course, eight times actual size, like the square itself, for ease of editing. The green color is not actually the starting color of the icon, but instead represents the transparent “color” (more on transparency in a moment). ---- the above words are from the IconEdit help file. ----- later on in the help file, the author clarified his reasons for using green as the transparency 'color'. basically, if the background was actually transparent, this small and little utility would have turned into bloatware of the worst kind. i feel the author made the right decision. bloatware lurks around every corner of the internet. anyway, it's freeware and it works well! get it and enjoy! |

i like it so much! how much? now how can i quantify such an abstract value?
how does one put in words the enjoyment derived from such a simple program?
all you would get is restricting words cloaking the true meaning which will
sound like gibberish to you by the time i am done. vague enough? good!
the program is here if you can't find it at the massive vaults at zdnet. download Icon Edit : 153 K zipped |
