HELP!!! I am having a HORRIBLE time creating an icon using IconEdit with WB 3.0. I am on a 1200. Every time I save an icon… let's say it is this big… ————– | | | | | | ————– IconEdit will make the icon space the full size… ———————————– | | | | | | | | | |————- | | | | | | | | | | | ———————————– What's up with that? I am really mad at this stupid piece of poop icon editor. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it is doing this and how I might correct it? What we need is a REAL icon editor for 3.0!

The problem is a bug in the icon editor. It will NOT resize to fit the image IF you save out in "Image" mode. It does work correctly in "Complement" or "Backfill" mode. Here's a better solution. One of the programs I missed most when it broke under 2.x was IconMaster by John Scheib. Well he has released IconMaster 3.0 which works great on my 4000.

I take it that IconMaster is a shareware program? If so, you wouldn't happen to know the cost? Even if I don't get that program, at least I now have an idea of how to work around the bug. Thanks for the help!

$15 to upgrade to 3.0, my guess would be around $25, but if you write John I'm sure you will get all the info.

Thanks, Paul! I already sent him a letter. Looking forward to getting info on it.
