Short: 17 NewIcons,+ a nice hi-res hand-pointer Author: Stephen Hamacek Uploader: s301677 student uq edu au (Anita Sweeney) Type: pix/icon Requires: NewIcons package, AGA for pointer Architecture: generic ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some home made NewIcons for your viewing and using vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv by Stephen Hamacek ---------------------------- This is my first small collection of NewIcons to be released into the pd. I have included most of the NIs that I have created from scratch myself, though some of them are just modified versions of NIs from the original NewIcons or NewIconsExtras packages (available on aminet). As with all NewIcons, these rely on the NI patch to show up correctly, and in fact, that is what makes them particularly useful. (For the uninitiated, NewIcons allows icons to be displayed [particularly under KS3] with dynamically assigned colours so that they always look at least fairly good [with 1-3 planes] to great with 4+ planes - i.e. no more icons that don't look right with your Workbench Pallette). So if you haven't yet, do try the NewIcons package to fully enjoy my mini artworks! A last minute bonus is my hires hand pointer which I think looks better than any I've seen (humble huh?). BTW is there any way of getting a REAL hi-res (ie squarish pixels ala interlace hi-res) workbench pointer? I haven't had any luck with lacepointer on my A1200.. ---------------------------- More about NewIconsSH I have used the standard NI pallette for all of these icons (I think) and have likewise made all the icons the recommended 36x40 size. The only stylistic vari- ation I have subscribed to at times is using a flat view instead of the common isometric look. Don't get me wrong, I do like the iso icons, just sometimes it's nice to see something a little different, and some icons just call out for it (e.g. ADPro) ---------------------------- Contents DollarTool Yellow dollar sign - expands when clicked * DollarProject Blue version of the above (I use these for HomeBudget) * Cloud Fluffy cloud - lightning when clicked (many uses) * Galaga The Galaga ship having a warp (great game!) * Inputlock Ban the keys and mouse! # Knights Knight and bat (click to hack!) (Another great game!) * Lockcolors Probably don't need this if you use NI # LoG! a la Ren & Stimpy (of course, with many uses ..) * Minesweeper Mine and Happy face * Pagestream The Pagestream running man (hope the colours are right) * ADPro Ben Franklin etc @ Wings Cloud with biplane (good for any WWI fl.sim) @ PacMan PacMania style paccer! * Eye Photographic eye (I use it for multiview) % SuperDuper # * = My original work # = Adapted from RJM's other newicons % = Adapted from RJM's rjmicons set @ = Adapted from original program icon (but tarted up by me!) ---------------------------- In the pipeline I'm working on a complete set of icons for HackliteII reminiscent of Jeff Lee's originals - should see them soon. I really just make icons as I need them, but as soon as there is another dozen or so, I'll put another lot out. ---------------------------- Software companies and authors: If you want newicons support and need an icon I can be contacted by email on s301677@student.uq.edu.au (my wife's address) or by voice on +61 7 290 0647 (Australia).
