DualPNG and OS4 icons on OS3

James · 10 October 2012, 22:21

Using DualPNG and OS4.1 icons on OS3.# Requires AfA:
http://amidevcpp.amiga-world.de/afa_binarie_upload.php
Or latest Icon.library:
http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=64079

Icons:
KensV4 (46 high)
http://www.five-star.com/icons.htm
http://aminet.net/package/pix/picon/AlpyreIcons1
http://aminet.net/package/pix/picon/AlpyreIcons2
OS4 Icons (46 high)
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=graphics/icon/micollection2007.lha
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=graphics/icon/micollection2008.lha
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=graphics/icon/cha05e90_icons_2009.lha
Icons Scaled to 46 high:

I have scaled most of the freely available OS4.1 icons and icons by Lorraine Design to 46 high. Not sure how the authors would feel about these being distributed, will look into this...

Tools to create your own icons from any image:
ImageConverter can create DualPNG glowicons out of PNG images with transparency:
http://www.hd-rec.de/Archive/ImageConverter.lha
IconMaker Scripts for ImageConverter and Join:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p9o3gud23c44y51
Add transparency to images with an Image Processor like ArtEffect or PPT:
http://www.amiga-arena.de/tools.html
http://www.ecyrd.com/~jalkanen/PPT/
OptiPNG can be used to crop the first image from gif (snip) animations and DualPNG icons (fix - use copies!). This is the 040fpu version from Aminet with added scripts to make things easier:

SGrab is useful for grabbing screenshots to crop and convert:
http://aminet.net/util/wb/sgrab.lha
Rename all those PNG icons on Aminet e.t.c. from .info back to .png with a tool like MultiRen so they can be converted by ImageConverter:
http://aminet.net/util/misc/MultiRen.lha
KDEView for icon copying:

Wow great work, thanks for sharing

Thanks for your comments.

Meant to reply sooner... I will post up some more of my icons once I have sorted them out. In the meantime I have updated the original post a little, and here is an icon for Retrofan:

Thanks a lot mate. Although it's very hard to use a real image as an icon; it has to be much easier with a drawing.

I like a lot also your icons of the first post.
