RE: b bit icon in standalones
you dont need a programmer to make a shortcut but you do need valuable programmers to make nice shortcuts (like on a mac!)

Re: b bit icon in standalones
Hi MrX, The easiest way (around this) is to make a shortcut and use a custom icon on it... I also asked this and it's also impossible... Then again, you can re-write the desktop in MC, launch me in startup and then use strictly any image as an icon ;)) ... launch MrX with new_desktop ... gives this error (with or without quotes): Developer not defined error description: unknown developer Too bad... Au revoir ;-) Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

Re: b bit icon in standalones
Hi all, it's easier to import gifs or jpgs than icons... on windows, theres' a few nice programs but I'd recommend Iconbook. dont know the url of hand... browse and export... that easy... windows only probably... on the Mac, GifConverter (mac only, german program with a grey icon and a house?) was great... both do batch conversions i think... Hi all, has anybody ever successfully installed a 8 bit icon into a standalone after building it with MC ? If yes, how did you do this ? What windows icon-editing app can so so ? (Not necessarily freeware ;-) Thanks a lot in advance. Regards from germany Klaus Major [EMAIL PROTECTED] sorry, it looks like i was not clear enough. I meant: has someone succesfully replaced the 4 bit MC icon of a standalone with another 8 bit icon. If yes, how ? What icon-editor can do this ? Thanks in advance...
