DualPNG and OS4 icons on OS3
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: https://tinyurl.com/ub97p6u Add transparency to images with an Image Processor like ArtEffect or PPT: https://www.amiga-arena.de/amiga-arena-tools/ 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: https://tinyurl.com/t7xt5b5 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: http://aminet.net/util/wb/KDEView.lha Some of mine: https://tinyurl.com/rprk3fy Last edited by James; 26 December 2019 at 21:16.

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: Retrofan_avatar.lha |

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. |

James I see that some of the links are now broken.
These last days I've had to create some icons to work with a program that doesn't work with 3.5 icons. For what I've seen there are two ways: - To use your great IconMaker program (included in AKReal, needs FPU as it uses ImageConverter). - Or to use "Join". That's the one Ken Lester uses. In my distro just typing from Cli "Join" it will open and it's just to take two png images and save them as whatever.info To convert some old icons I obtained the images using a script I have to get both pngs with alpha channel with ImageConverter (normal -_n- and selected -_s-). Code:
ImageConverter Sys:#?.info -of Ram:%f_n -f PNG -img 0 ImageConverter Sys:#?.info -of Ram:%f_s -f PNG -img 1 Last edited by Retrofan; 19 August 2016 at 02:24. |

Thought it was about time I posted up a collection of the KensV4 style icons I have built to fill in the many gaps. My ultimate (unachievable) goal is to have DualPNG icons for everything. The vast majority are aimed at RTG programs although I have experimented with making a few for WHDLoad games. A few icons need reworking/fixing/replacing, but I've left them in for now.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5...HRPVEVjVU0xSU0 Just a few of the included icons: All of these icons are all built on the works of others such as Ken, Mason, cha05e90 e.t.c. Some like the ImageFX icons are conversions from KenV3 to KenV4. |

Very nice! I wish we could have some sort of plug and play workbench pack for this, like classicwb with dualpng icons

Thanks James!
A lot of new ideas for fresh looking icons. Great! This set gets a good place in my collection. |

Freely available is not the same as freely distributable, so releasing it would probably upset a few people. It is very large and my internet connection is not very fast. Keeping it fully up to date is quite time consuming and parts of it are a bit outdated at the moment. Quote:

Hi James, I don't know how I missed your latest posts. Wonderful, you make perfect icons and I know that for Ken's drawers icons it takes a lot of time to make the selected image creating the glow effect to the new image you want to add. Thanks a lot for your work

Correct! It's not easily possible to create a perfect looking glowing effect on the fly for icons where the second image is missing. That would take too much time if it should be added by icon.library. But there is no such problem with your icon set, James !

To tell the truth, when I have to make a "new Ken's icon drawer" -24bit using AfAOS-, I have to make the selected image pixel by pixel on CorelDraw to make the glow effect copying pixels from existing Ken's selected images. Simple as that.
Yes, what I see on CorelDraw takes the full screen and I have to change a lot of pixels there. Later you have to resize it to... almost nothing, so you don't see all of the existing beautiful perfection ... What a pity I'm sure James also works this way or similar, pixel perfect.

Is there a description of the "add glow" algorithm (as used by IconEdit) anywhere? The innermost three glow layers are straightforward but the outermost one seems to follow a different rule, only half the pixels that would be expected are lit.

I don't have a definitive answer, but to me it looks like it's a very simple checkerboard dither for the outermost layer - you can see it in curved icons, where there aren't any pixels in the outermost layer in areas that coincide with a 45 degree line of "blank" pixels in the checkerboard. So it looks like it would be a case of placing a pixel if the LSB of the X value matches the LSB of the Y value, otherwise leave it as colour 0. That's where I'd start anyway...

Very nice, thanks a lot, James
Update: But some icons are much too dark, like in the QuakeEngine drawer. Last edited by PeterK; 25 December 2018 at 04:37. |

Will get round to improving the weaker icons eventually. In the meantime I have fixed the links in the first post at last... |
