Icon Themes

BIGICON THEMES FOR ARCAOS 5.0 AND LATER Dated:12/12/2023 DESCRIPTION: This is an automated way to change folder icons and program icons In the ArcaOS WPShell. Once set up properly, it is just a simple matter of changing two lines in the config.sys file and rebooting to initialize the changes. Each theme directory contains approximately 590 png icons. Their use is controlled by the BigIcons.txt file contained in each theme directory. The BigIcon.txt file is broken down into catagories WPS class, file type, object ID, etc. -------------------------- TO BEGIN: Unzip the theme(s) into your <drive>:\SYS\ICONS directory, or unzip and Move or copy the theme folders to your <drive>:\SYS\ICONS directory Edit your config.sys file located on the root drive. REM out the original BigIcons Set statement: REM SET BIGICONS= <DRIVE>:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS Now add SET statements for each theme set you plan on using. rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_BLACK rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_RED rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_YELLOW rem BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_FileCabinets rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_FileCabinets2 rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_LookingGlass rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_LookingGlass2 rem SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_RearWindow Un-rem the one you want to use such as SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\sys\icons\BIGICONS_YELLOW Save and reboot. ----------------------- ENABLING CUSTOM ICONS: To get customed icons enabled, go to your Desktop > System Setup > Worplace Shell, select it and select the Icon Size tab at the upper far right (the very last tab). Check "Use custom icons" on the right side of the page. On the same page, select "Dynamic" to make the Dynamic PNGs the default icons and take advantage of the BigIcons theme. Here, you also select the default size to be used when using the theme(s). For the changes to take effect, restart the desktop and you should see the your new BigIcons theme. ------------------------ SWITCHING BIGICON THEMES: It is so simple to change between themes. Just two entries changes in the config.sys file are required to change the themes. REM out the theme you are presently using. Then un-REM the set you plan on using. If the BigIcons_Yellow is being used and you want to switch to the BigIcons_Black, see example below. REM SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS_YELLOW REM SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS_RED SET BIGICONSPATH=E:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS_BLACK Only one theme can be used at a time. You just REM out the statements for the sets that are not being used. After switching PATH statements, save the config.sys, and reboot. The new theme set comes up after your reboot. ---------------------- TROUBLE SHOOTING: 1. Some or all the icons did not change. Make sure your config.sys entries for the BigIcons is correct, 2. If you had manually changed the PNGs for folders and/or icons, you will have to manually reset each icon (for folders,there are two) for the new changes to take affect. This is a defect in ArcaOS. 3. If you boot up and there are no icons showing, just restart the desktop. This does not happen often. 4. Be aware that there is a size limit to the BigIcons.txt file. If you plan on adding entries to add more icons, at a certain point the desktop will become unstable. To recover from this, either boot to your maintenace desktop and REM out all your BigIcons PATH statements in the config.sys, save, and reboot or after booting to your desktop, go into the System Setup > Workplace Shell > Size tab. Uncheck "Dynamic", close and restart the desktop. Now fix the BigIcons.txt file by removing some of what you added. 5. The BigIcons PATH statement in the config.sys is incorrect.

This theme is an attempt at recreating the look of the MacOS Drawingboard theme on eComStation. However, this theme deviates from the original theme in that the folder icons are done in a light blue color instead of a brownish color. The theme was created by Apple Japan and uses intersecting, fading lines to create the look of engineering pencil sketches. It was part of the MacOS 8.5 beta release that included theming support. Apple then decided to drop theme support from MacOS 8.5 completely and the theme never got officially released. PLEASE UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION OF DRAWINGBOARD_BLUE THEME BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION. THE INSTALLATION HAS BEEN MODIFIED, THE WARPIN DATABASE ENTRIES CHANGED, AND SOME FILES RENAMED. THIS IS A FIXED VERSION. THIS VERSION CONTAINS THE BACKGROUND BITMAPS THAT WERE MISSING IN VERSION 1.1.

This is styled after an amiga theme I saw. It is not identical nor was it intended to be. The icons were designed to be more like OS/2 icons. This revision modified a couple of the icons. It also includes a new background that I made and liked.

This Itheme will be included in a future release of eCS 2.0. I uploaded so my work doesn't get lost.

Additional icons for the "basic flat folder" itheme for eCS 2.0

Additional icons for the "boxes" itheme for eCS 2.0

This Itheme will be included in a future release of eCS 2.0. I uploaded so my work doesn't get lost.

The standard eCS folders are replaced with brown briefcases.

This is a new folder itheme for eCS 2.0 and above using brown boxes for folders.

Replacement icons for Mozilla. To apply copy the archive to your Mozilla\bin directory and execute dino.cmd New 1.1: eCS Folder Icons added thanks to Dieter Wachsmuth Klaus Staedtler

OS/2.cz I-Collection I ====================== WHAT IS IT? =========== This collection contains about 800 high-resolution icons! I tried to choose the best icons from a lot of collections around... (I have more than 11,000 icons on my HPFS drive (what about FAT? :-) and these are the best...I think) The icons are divided into folders by its filenames The folder BeOS contains icons from BeOS (my favourite ones ;-) ) There is also one icon from our production - OS/2.cz icon :-) I hope youïll enjoy this collection! Any suggestions mail to: molcanf@seznam.cz Filip Molcan DISCLAIMER ========== Since this I-Collection is distributed free of charge, there is no warranty for it of any kind. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. In no event I would be reliable to you for damages, including any general,special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the icons (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the icons to operate with any other programs), even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages. I'm only maintaining this collection in good will, and I expect nothing but appreciation of my effort! THANKS TO ========= Thanks to IBM for their great operating system and all people who are using it and all people who supports this blue world...

These icons were originally created for Windows 95/NT, and converted to OS/2 format by Jeff Lee <shipbrk@gate.net>. Complaints about problems with the OS/2 icons should be directed to him; compliments about the icons themselves should go to Christopher Pirillo, the person who did all of the hard work and deserves all of the glory. They were converted and distributed with his permission. The OS/2 icons are 256-colour 32x32 device-independent bitmaps, converted by ICON.EXE by Ron Hall. Following is the original "readme.txt" file, though most of it doesn't really apply to OS/2 users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings Fellow South Park fan! Thank you for downloading the South Park icon collection for Windows 95 (or NT). These icons are free, and shall always remain free. If you don't know how to use them, I'm not going to help. Your best bet is to read the manual for Windows 95 if you haven't a clue what an icon does or how to implement it. The included ICL file can be opened with Microangelo 2.1 (shareware) (http://www.impactsoft.com/), or simply renamed to be a DLL file. Each icon is 256 colors, so you should have the 'show icons using all possible colors' option turned on (the Plus! tab in the Desktop Properties). Of course, you'll need to have your color depth set at High or True color for that to happen. If you don't have the Plus! tab, you can get it for free from http://www.microsoft.com/truetype/ (look for the free font smoother--it is included with it). Or, you can download the aforementioned Microangelo 2.1 and it comes with a utility that'll increase your icon color depth, too. Visit my 'Just South of South Park' page on the web if you want to see the latest South Park multimedia that I've gathered! ** http://www.lockergnome.com/southpark/ ** == Christopher Pirillo ==

HPK Icons ========= Version 2.0.1 for OS/2 ====================== README ====== Contents =-=-=-=- About the icons About OS/2 icons in general A few hints on using the Icon Editor Package contents Availability Feedback to the author History of changes About the icons =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The images ---------- All HPK Icons are carefully made and consist of all forms that are in the standard icons that come with OS/2. This way the images don't have to be scaled up or down with ugly results. The default 16-color palette is used throughout. This minimizes color mixups due to programs changing the display palette. Some icon pairs are suited well for folder animation. The names --------- The scheme of descriptive names keeps the icons in a useful order when they are sorted by name. (If the files are sorted by type, the text files appear before the icon files instead of between them.) The base part of the filenames consists of "atomic" parts separated by underscores. When deciding between brevity and meaning, I choose the latter. Because of that a few names are rather overdone, but shortening these names would mean either breaking the naming scheme or making it incomprehensible for the shorter names, both of which I don't want. The naming scheme is demonstrated in the following examples: 1. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir arr_* List all icons with an arrow as the base element 2. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir *_char* List all icons with one or more characters as an additional element 3. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir *picframe* List all icons with the picframe element Note: Since the picframe element has no style variations, "picframe" must not be followed by an underscore in this case, otherwise picframe.ICO would not be listed. 4. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir *_green_dark.* List all icons with a dark green styled foremost element 5. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir *_red* List all icons with red (dark or not) styled elements 6. [D:\docs\HPK Icons] dir *_with_* *_and_* List all icons that are combinations of elements KEDIT.ICO, KEDIT_transpar.ICO, THE.ICO, THE_transpar.ICO -------------------------------------------------------- KEDIT is a text editor by Mansfield Software Group that is sold commercially. THE (The Hessling Editor) is a similar editor by Mark Hessling <M.Hessling@qut.edu.au> which is under the GNU General Public License. KEDIT.ICO is similar to the KEDIT manual cover in the lines, the shape of the "K", and the colors. The colors in it are similar to the default color table of KEDIT; the colors in THE.ICO are similar to the default color table of THE. I.e. these icons have the same colors the editors use by default. KEDIT_transpar.ICO and THE_transpar.ICO are most useful on dark color or image backgrounds. mon_darken.ICO -------------- I use this icon for program objects for the screen saver Blackout by Staffan Ulfberg <staffanu@nada.kth.se> which is under the GNU General Public License. The default operation of this screen saver is to reduce the display to semidarkness in the first step and to switch the monitor to power saving modes in later steps. NLL.ICO ------- This icon consists of scaled down versions of the logo of the amateur rock band No Love Lost headed by Terry Olan Jones <terryj@sfu.ca>. The No Love Lost "fun pack" that is available from him by e-mail contains audio samples from the album and the band logo. I use this icon for a folder with the No Love Lost "fun pack". Shell.ICO --------- A few years ago Shell had a campaign of magazine advertisings here in Germany that included a set of drawings showing how the Shell logo is constructed. One day I tried to follow these drawings and made a Shell.BMP. Shell.ICO consists of scaled down versions of this bitmap with a few manual corrections. I use this icon for an "Other Shells" folder containing shadows of the "OS/2 Window", "DOS Window" and "WIN-OS/2 Window" objects. arr_thickbent_nw_ne_blue.ICO, Floyd_94.ICO ------------------------------------------ These icons also consist of scaled down versions of larger images. standardforms.ICO ----------------- Like all the other HPK Icons, standardforms.ICO consists of all forms that are in the standard icons that come with OS/2, but the images are nothing but transparent. This icon is provided as a template for your own icons. In fact, standardforms.ICO should appear as a template if you view the folder containing the HPK Icons with the Workplace Shell. Also, after you did this, it should appear in the "Create another" cascaded menu of the pop-up menu of any icon. If standardforms.ICO is not a template - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If standardforms.ICO is not under "Create another" in the pop-up menu of the icons, the workplace shell obviously hasn't recognized it as a template. I can think of two reasons for this. Probably you haven't yet viewed the folder containing it. If you did, it probably lost its extended attributes. Then unpack it again from the HPK Icons package you received it in if you still have it. Of course, the file system where it is stored must support extended attributes for this. If you don't have the package anymore, open the settings and select the Template check box on the General page. If you can't make standardforms.ICO a template, don't worry. The purpose of a template is just to provide a convenient way of making a new copy of it, so just copy it yourself instead. If standardforms.ICO has lost its EAs and you want to redistribute the HPK Icons, use a separate program to make standardforms.ICO a template again. A simple REXX program can do this. Better yet, contact the author because the HPK Icons may have been changed otherwise, too. About OS/2 icons in general =-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Animated icons -------------- With OS/2 Warp, folders can have "animated icons". The animation consists of a second icon being used when the folder is open. Still, this animation icon is *not* used in some prominent places like the title bar of the folder window itself. Note that in the settings of a folder there are two pages under General. Page 1 is as usual, while page 2 is for the animation icon. Be sure to check both pages when changing the icon of a folder. If you drag an animated icon from a folder object (e.g. the "OS/2 System" folder) to one of the pages, both pages are changed simultaneously. However, if you drag a normal icon to one of the pages, the other page is *not* changed. Of course something like this is necessary so you can combine two normal icons into an animated one. If you want to change from an animated icon to a normal icon, first change the icon on page 1 and then disable the animation by selecting the Default button on page 2; the animation icon will disappear. Icon forms ---------- Q: Which form should I use when creating icons? Independent VGA or the other formats? A: Yes. I mean, use all that are marked with an asterisk in the Icon Editor, which means they are recommended. You get to the list with these marks via Device - List - Add. Q: Why are these icon forms recommended? I mean, why should the icon file contain all of these forms? A: If not all of them are in the icon file, the missing ones will be scaled up or down from one of the others when they are needed, and this is ugly in most cases. Q: Please explain the recommended and other standard icon forms in greater detail. And what's the matter with this scaling? A: With screen resolutions of 640x480 or 800x600 pixels, the normal icons are 32x32 pixels and the small ones (e.g. in the title bars) are 16x16 pixels. With resolutions of 1024x768 or higher, the normal ones are 40x40 and the small ones are 20x20. If these forms are missing in the icon file, they will be scaled up or down from the ones that are there, which can make them very ugly. To scale 32x32 up to 40x40, eight "rows" and eight "columns" will be doubled, which is instantly noticeable because e.g. slanted lines become jagged and maybe some straight lines become double thick while others don't. Excellent examples for these effects are icons of objects for Windows programs. And if a larger form has to be scaled down, rows and columns are left out, which is even worse because visual information gets lost. Here's a table of all the forms in the standard icons: Size Colors Used at Res. Title 32x32 16 <= 800x600 *Independent Color Form (=VGA) 16x16 16 " *Independent Small Color Form 16x16 2 " Independent Small BW Form 40x40 16 >= 1024x768 *XGA/8514 - 16 colors 20x20 16 " *XGA/8514 Small Color Form 20x20 2 " XGA/8514 Small BW Form 32x32 2 black-white *Independent BW Form (=1.1 format) An asterisk means that the form is recommended. Note that there are five recommended forms but two more standard forms. These two, the small BW forms, were used in OS/2 2.x where now the small color forms are used. (If an icon contains the small BW form but not the small color form, the BW one is still used in version 3.) In other words, if you want your icons work nicely in 2.x too, you might want to use the small BW forms also. In this case it's important to know that all colors appear as black where small forms are used in OS/2 2.x - a pixel can appear either as black, the background, or the reverse background. So don't use white in the small BW forms. Q: All these icon forms are too much of a hassle for me. I'd like to make good icons but I don't want to have a lot of work. Which forms should I leave out then? A: Then leave out all BW forms. Most people have color displays and are using Warp anyway. (Then again, a BW form is easy to make once you have the color form of the same size.) This leaves you with four forms. Read on. Q: Can I use the 32x32 and 16x16 images for the 40x40 and 20x20 forms? A: Yes. Just copy and paste those images into the slightly larger forms (but not using Stretch Paste, of course). You may still want to extend parts like a base color or a background pattern to the edges if the images look better that way. Q: I have a 32x32 or 40x40 image. How can I make a 16x16 or 20x20 image out of it? A: * Choose an important part of the image that is small enough to fit into the smaller form, and leave out the rest. * Reduce the number of similar elements. * Leave out unimportant details. * Reduce crucial details to an absolute minimum. * Try to find out whether certain image part sizes are fixed or depend on the overall image size (or on each other), and use these dependencies to scale the image down (or up for that matter). A few hints on using the Icon Editor =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * To change among the icon forms quickly and easily, click on the form name in the status area and use the arrow keys. * To sort the icon forms within the editor, choose List in the Device menu and use the Up and Down buttons. Not every conceivable order is possible, and apparently the order changes most of the times an icon is saved and restored. Still, an order that keeps similar forms together makes editing easier. I have found the following possible order useful: Size Colors Title 16x16 2 Independent Small BW Form 16x16 16 *Independent Small Color Form 32x32 2 *Independent BW Form (=1.1 format) 32x32 16 *Independent Color Form (=VGA) 20x20 2 XGA/8514 Small BW Form 20x20 16 *XGA/8514 Small Color Form 40x40 16 *XGA/8514 - 16 colors * To choose a non-square pen size, click on the pen size in the status area and use the arrow keys, or mark an area of that size and press Alt+J. * As with other PM programs, try to learn the shortcut key combinations for the operations you do most frequently. They are listed next to the names in the menus, and can be found by selecting "Keys help" in the Help menu.

These are some (mostly) 16 colour icons for a TeX/LATeX package. They really require only three colours (black, white and dark grey) so they should be fairly independant of the pallete even on 16 colour displays. The icon files also include monochrome versions. As of Tues. 8 Mar, 1994, this package should contain: Size EA's 3498 187 BIBTeX.ICO 3498 186 LaTeX.ICO 5528 22 TeX-fold.ICO 3498 159 TeX.ICO 3498 50 TeXdoc.ICO As far as I'm concerned these are public domain.

These are just a few possible icons for Doom, the hot new 3D action game from id. Two were captured from old screen shots and one from the startup screen; they were stuck into the icon editor via the OS/2 clipboard. To "install," unpack into a directory, view with the Drives container, drag an appropriate one onto the General page in the Doom settings notebook, and voila: a 256-color icon. (This only works under 2.1; for 2.0 I can never remember how to do it...) For some strange reason the icon editor calls these things an "EGA" form, even though they have 256 colors. I don't understand it, but the results look good on my (SVGA) system.... Greg Roelofs

24 June 1993 Here's some nifty picture icons I whipped up recently while testing JoeView V1.2e Beta 6/18/93, "another image viewer for the OS2 operating system running under PM. Your hardware needs to be able to display 256 colors for this puppy to work". Contact Joe Burkley at burkley@opus.nosc.mil, (128.49.60.1) for info about this package. When I figured out I could copy a displayed picture to the clipboard in JoeView, I thought I would try and paste the picture into the icon editor that comes with O/S2. It worked! I had a couple hundred pictures in gif and jpeg format I had saved from alt.binaries.pictures.misc (sorry-none from a.b.p.erotica!) so I spent a little while loading them one by one into JoeView, and then pasting them into the icon editor and saving them as icons. I first set the type of icons to 8514 (256 colors), selected paste from the edit menu, and then saved them. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! TO ATTACH AN ICON TO A PROGRAM OBJECT OR ANY OBJECT ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First, have a window open on the desktop displaying the picture icons. Open the settings book for the object you want to attach an icon to by: (the default way*) click on the object with the right mouse button (i.e., button 2); This displays the pop-up menu associated with that object; click on the little boxed arrow to the right of "Open", and select settings; the settings book is displayed with tabs; Select the "General" tab; (this page shows a picture of the icon in use); Select the "Find" button; this displays the "Find" page; select "Locate"; the "Locate Folder" is displayed; the window (folder) containing the picture icons will be in the list of folders; select it; click on "OK"; the "Locate Folder" window disappears; click on the "Find" button; the "Find Results - *" window will appear showing the icons; select the one you want, and select the "OK" button; and that's it; The new icon should now appear as the object! This should work. It works for me. But I will point out that several times previous to this, I couldn't figure out how to do it. I kept getting a window saying it couldn't find any of the specified objects in the folder selected. Another thing I haven't got to work is to select the "Edit" button; this brings up the icon editor, but HOW DO YOU GET THE CHANGES YOU MAKE IN AN ICON'S APPEARANCE TO SHOW UP ATTACHED TO THE OBJECT???? Dave Oliphant, the author and inventor of these fabulous icons :-), may be reached at: davego@indirect.com *You can change the actions associated with the mouse buttons; see the mouse settings program in the System Setup Folder, which is in the O/S2 System Folder on the desktop; I have described the default way of clicking buttons on the mouse.

This is the second set of SDS Icons released from Stardock Systems. It is a collection of original icons that were mostly inspired from System 7 of the Macintosh computer while others were taken from popular video games that are on some of our customer's machines. Note. These will look "goofy" if you have less than 256 colors. A new device has been created for these icons: "Super VGA". It is a resolution specificed of 32x32 (for icons) on systems up to but not including 1024x768. They have a pallette of up to 256 colors. Some of the more useful icons have 8514 devices and "Tiny" Devices (16x16). If you experience any difficulties or have any comments please leave them to our SDS Internet agent: Brad Wardell. Internet address: x90wardell@wmich.edu ------------------------------------------------------------ If you like this set of icons, you may also like our enhanced VGA set of icons "SDS Icons" which are icons with 16 colors in them but have customized palletes for each one (meaning they will probably not look good on non-256 color systems. Stardock Systems is a Michigan based company that sells among other things, OS/2 based computer systems at unsually low prices. ------------------------------------------------------------- Coming soon: The SDS OS/2 2.1 support guide. A comprehensive guide to using and enhancing OS/2 2.1. Free to those with Internet access. It is the summation of SDS's technical support experience with OS/2. Has a method to recover from virtually any crash. From black screens on bootup to screens with only the cursor on bootup. Coming soon after OS/2 2.1 is OFFICIALLY released.

The files in this ZIP are ICONs. There is one file for each ICON distributed with OS/2 2.0 and contained in PMWP.DLL. OS/2 relates these ICONs to system objects such as folders, drives, printers, servers, etc. A simple way to see how OS/2 associates ICONs to system objects is to examine the INI.RC file in the \OS2 directory. This file is used with MAKEINI.EXE to rebuild the OS2.INI file when it gets damaged. Within the INI.RC file, an ICON is associated with an object using a specific ICON resource. For example: "PM_InstallObject" "Information;WPFolder;<WP_DESKTOP>" "HELPPANEL=13092;ICONRESOURCE=60 PMWP;ICONPOS=5 57;OBJECTID=<WP_INFO>" The name of each ICON file in this ZIP is in the format OS2RESnn.ICO where nn is the PMWP.DLL ICON resource number. Using the example above, you can view ICONRESOURCE=60 by displaying OS2RES60.ICO using the ICON Editor or the File Manager. Any comments or questions should be addressed to Tom Bason on the OS/2 Shareware BBS - 703-385-4325...
