IconEdit 1.0

Introduction
------------
This is IconEdit, a freeware Icon creator/editor for Nokia Communicators 9200/9300/9500. 

For IconEdit to run, you need the latest OPL runtime for your Communicator installed, which you can download at http://opl-dev.sourceforge.net/. For your convenience, the latest OPL runtimes for Nokia 9200 and Nokia 9500 are included in this ZIP file.

Installation
------------
Due to a bug in Symbian installation program, if you have an old version of IconEdit installed, you should completely uinstall it before installing IconEdit version 1.0.
Then, after installing the correct OPL runtime, double click on the IconEdit.sis file in your PC or copy it to your Communicator and open it from the FileManager application. This will install IconEdit and it's support files. 
After installation you can start IconEdit by selecting it from the Extras screen (9210) or Desk application (9300/9500).

How to use IconEdit
-------------------
IconEdit can create icons for Crystal (Communicator) and Quartz (P800/900). If you select 'New' from the 'File' menu you are prompted which kind of icon to create.
IconEdit supports all major drawing functions (pixel, line, box, circle/ellipse, text, fill), as well as the normal clipboard functions (copy, paste also to and from files). 
By pressing the Help-Command button or the Help-key, context sensitive help about the current selected function is displayed.

When you save an icon, two files are being saved: one file contains the IconEdit project (no extension), the other file contains the created icons (extension .ico).
The .ico file is an MBM-file with four icons in it (icon and mask, large and small). To use this icon in your project, specify the name between the APP .. ENDA construct in your OPL application, eg.

APP IconEdit,KUIDApplication&
	ICON "IconEdit.ico"  this is the .ico file generated by IconEdit.
	..
ENDA
