Short:        80 More NewIcon images!
Author:       Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt@u.washington.edu)
Uploader:     Phil Vedovatti (vedovatt u washington edu)
Type:         pix/icon
Architecture: generic



This set contains approximately 80 images for you NewIcons enthusiasts
out there.  These all use the standard NewIcon palette, so they won't
allocate any extra pens from your workbench if you are already using
Newicons.

Included are images not found in the original NewIcons archive
or the NewIconsXtra set #1.  Many are totally original, some are adapted
from parts of Roger McVey's work, and a few others are adapted from
images done by other aspiring isoicon artists.  There seemed to be a
few necessary images missing from the above packages, so I put together
several for my own use.  I thought that some of you out there might
find these useful.  I don't profess to be a great artist, but I feel
these images reflect the "NewIcon standard" fairly well.

Most of the Apple emulator images came from the NewIconsXTRA set, but I
fixed the apple to look more like the real logo.  Some of the net icons
I tried to pattern the "look and feel" after their MagicWB equivalents,
such as those from the fine work of Osma Avenlampi (Tau) in MLink and
NapsaTerm.  I also added in an icon for the Devs/Datatypes drawer.

It would be nice if authors would include more NewIcon images
in their packages.  For those not using NewIcons, they don't see them
anyway, and it saves the trouble of having to deal with deleting those
peach and purple MWB icons that conform to only one ugly palette.  You
can easily make them from DPaint IFF brushes, so let's start seeing them!

Regardless of whether you prefer MWB or NewIcon images, it's important to
remember that the NewIcons system works with either type of image, and gives
you the benefit of not having to worry about what your palette is set to
in preferences.  The images will auto-remap to the appropriate color.
Personally, I prefer the NewIcons style, but you can use NewIcons to adapt
your icons to any style you like.  Kudos to Nicola for making such a fine
system, and to Roger for his excellent artwork.  It's been fun working
with you guys.

Installation:

If you plan to use these images, you need the NewIcons Package.  It's
available on Aminet (pub/aminet/util/wb/NewIcons.lha).  If you are not
running NewIcons, you will only see little squares for the icons, and
this package will be of no use for you.  Check the preview IFF to get
some idea of what these icons look like.  To install these images, use
the "copynewicon" utility to transfer the images over to the appropriate
icon.  DON'T use the "creatdefaulticon" utility.  That's for creating
NewIcon images for files that don't have .info files attached to them.
Copynewicon is safe to use on your existing icons, because it won't mess
with your default tool or your tooltypes.  Also, DON'T just copy the .info
file over to your existing programs, because you won't keep your default
tool or tooltypes that way either.  Like the NewIcons documentation says,
think of this collection as a catalog of "images" rather than icons, from
which you copy the image over to your other programs, rather than replacing
the whole icon itself.

This set is freely distributable, and the individual icons may be used or
modified as you please.  If you pass on the package to others, please keep
the archive intact with its documentation.

Feedback is always appreciated.  I may keep doing this if there's a demand.

Enjoy!
