#Icon Editor
5 messages in this thread
I am having a problem that with saving Icons I create in the Icon Editor in
WorkBench 3.0.
I create my Icon save it and it saves it with all of the blank space around it,
basically it is the size of the editor window. When I create it I put it in the
top left & don't even use the other side of the window.Sometimes it gets saved
and looses all of it color, reverts to black.
I have been able to do this before, but now ??? I saved the icons as images and
loaded them with DPaint then saved them as brushes minus the extra space. But
when I load it back in the editor and save it it pads it with all the extra
space again.
I am saving them as Drawers/Images with two seperate images so I have a
different look when you click it. It has just stumped me why I am having so
much trouble. I even tried cliping them out of the window then choose to start
a new Icon and past the clip in…
Any ideas or have I confused everyone with my ramblings?
Thanks,

Jim,
Your not goning crazy, the 2.x/3.0 Icon Editor is supposed to auto size
to remove the blank space around your inage but it has a bug! It works
fine as long as you are "Backfill" or "Complement" but in "Image" mode…

… exactly what you are doing, it doesn't work!
I use IconMaster V3.0 by John Scheib. It is a much better progam! You
must get it directly from John as he sends you a custom disk with your
name and address coded into the program! For information write to:

Hi Jim
I've experienced the same problem on my a1200.I've been fooling around
with icons and brushes for ToolManager v2.1 (neat program!)and always have
that problem.I also tend to lose the black color in my Brushes when I
bring in to DP IV (to correct the other problem)and then back to the
Iconeditor.
It makes you mad doesn't it 🙁 I have been screwing around with it for awhile.
If I try to save it as Compliment or Backfill it instantly turns the icon black
and saves it that way.
I am going to find out what is causing it because it may have done it before
once or twice, now it is every single time. I have a feeling it is because of
something I installed. What it may be >>>> I have no idea, but that has got to
be it.
Talk to ya later.
