Clarion, Icons too big

Icons too big

Author	Message
Stephen Evan #1 / 6	Icons too big Can anyone tell me where I can get small icons or make the icons I have smaller. I have created a tree browse which's works fine. Only problem is the icons at each level are {filter}- too big so you only see part of icon in the space where the icon sits. I am looking for the ones that are in windows, i.e. look at the folders icon tree in Outlook or Outlook express - just the right size... Any help appreciated. Thanks Steve

Doug #2 / 6	Icons too big Stephen, Place your small 16x16 icon image inside the 32x32 icon format. This will then give you the look you are after. Unfortunately, CW (except C6) does not support anything other than 32x32 formats. HTH, Doug Quote: > Can anyone tell me where I can get small icons or make the icons I have > smaller.

Lee Whit #4 / 6	Icons too big Use the center 16x16 pixels of a 32x32 icon with transparent for the 8 pixel border around the center section. Also, if you want to use larger icons set the line height for the listbox to fit, ?List{PROP:LineHeight}=whatever. -- Lee White ----------------------------------------------- Lodestar Software www.CWaddons.com DeveloperPLUS Corporation www.DeveloperPLUS.com ----------------------------------------------- Quote: > Doug, > Not sure what you mean? > Steve > > Stephen, > > Place your small 16x16 icon image inside the 32x32 icon format. > > This will then give you the look you are after.

Doug #5 / 6	Icons too big Stephen, Exactly what Lee said. However, I assumed that you owned an Icon editing tool, so that you can manipulate the image. Some popular icon editors are MicroAngelo or Axialis IconWorkshop. There are many others, but they all should do what I and Lee have explained.

Susan Pichott #6 / 6	Icons too big Hi Stephen, If you don't own an icon editor yet, the easiest/cheapest one I've found is ArtIcons Pro, from www.aha-soft.com . I use this for quick work (I use Axialis Icon Workshop from www.axialis.com for serious work). In any icon editor, you can open your larger icon, then create a smaller icon (16x16 for the size you want) from the larger image. The icon editor will resize the image for you. However, you're not done for using the small icon in Clarion. <g> Now, create a new icon file, with a blank, 32x32 size icon (be sure that the background color is transparent). Copy the 16x16 image from the other icon file, and paste it into the middle of your new, blank 32x32 icon. Now save that one, and use it where you want that smaller icon to show. The thing about Clarion and icons is that Clarion ALWAYS assumes that you're using a 32x32 size icon. Let's say you saved that 16x16 icon in it's 16x16 size, then tried using it in Clarion. Clarion would resize the 16x16 icon to 32x32. Ugly. So, you have to create a 32x32 size icon with a small image image in the center, and the rest transparent, to get that small icon to show up in Clarion. I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that Soft Velocity would update Clarion to use normal ICO resource files, like every other development environment does. -- Susan Pichotta Ace Icons, GIFs, Backgrounds & Buttons www.aceicons.com San Antonio, Texas Quote: > Can anyone tell me where I can get small icons or make the icons I have > smaller.
