Short: A Small high quality GlowIcons collection. Author: Various Uploader: jackson mbnet fi Type: pix/icon Requires: Amiga OS 3.5 Architecture: generic This is my second GlowIcons collection. I received a lot of encoureaging mail concerning my first collection. Thank you for your support. These icons are in OS3.5 iconformat and don't contain any NewIcons data. You will need OS3.5 to be able to use these. I'll never make NewIcons versions of these, because I encourage you to buy OS3.5. However, there is a PNG-picture in this archive that will show you what the icons will look like. None of these icons are fully drawned by me. I just copied some parts from the other icons and pictures. So don't credit me for these. However, I spent quite some time antialising and repixeling scaled icons. If you scale a picture in small size, the quality isn't always too good. Maybe someday I will make something from the scratch. You may notice that some of the icons or parts of them are from the Matt Chaput's first GlowIcons archive (WCPComplete.lha) that appeared on Aminet in 1998. It was a preview collection and wasn't by no means complete. Icons used standard NewIcons V4 -palette and many of them lacked a proper selected image. I remapped some of the icons to OS3.5-palette and tried my best to draw them ready. I don't consider myself as a gfx artist and I'am just learning the technique of antialiasing by hand. Technique that is, in these PhotoShop-times, saddly forgotten. These icons use standard 32 colors OS3.5 GlowIcons-palette. As many of you may not know what the palette is. I will put it's RGB-values here: 0. 170,170,170 1. 0,0,0 2. 255,255,255 3. 227,227,277 4. 198,198,198 5. 170,170,170 6. 138,138,138 7. 106,106,106 8. 73,73,73 9. 41,41,41 10. 173,173,240 11. 127,137,194 12. 82,102,148 13. 36,66,102 14. 117,219,110 15. 86,177,90 16. 56,136,70 17. 25,94,50 18. 201,173,159 19. 159,133,114 20. 117,93,68 21. 89,60,31 22. 145,54,130 23. 170,104,162 24. 194,153,194 25. 239,231,20 26. 223,186,69 27. 219,117,65 28. 223,53,53 29. 130,0,0 30. 117,225,240 31. 89,185,180 There is also a ILBM-palettefile in the the archive. As you can see there is two same grays (170,170,170) in the palette. first one is for background and WB will show it TRANSPARENT. Another gray is intended to be used on inner parts of the icons. So remember to check that you are using a proper gray in your icons. Also if you are using transparent gray in inner parts of your icons that shouldn't be transparent then IconEdit's "Add glow" gives bad results. The order of the colors in the palette isn't important, because IconEdit saves icons only with the colors that are used in the icon, but be careful to choose the right gray for trasparency in IconEdit. As the new iconsystem in OS3.5 supports icons up to 256 colors, some of you may think why bother to remap all icons to use the same standard palette. I have some good reasons to explain why: 1. 256 color icons are dead slow to load. Even with 060 and gfxcard. 2. The "general look" of the GlowIcons stays more easily the same that Matt Chaput has intended. 3. There is still some poor souls with AGA who will appreciate that icons don't use more than 32 colors.
