Hi Miker,

considering that, de facto, you are the aros icon guru, I would like to address you a couple of requests that, may be, can intrigue your attention and push you to something different but still on topic. Of course as soon as you have completed your actual projects.

1. I would like to see an improvement on the icon information window like OS4 behave. To change an icon to an application/file, on os4, it is very easy and straight forward, it act simply opening the icon information of your file, then selecting any icon you like from the workbench and dropping it on the icon information window you want to update with the new icon. Only the icon image will be updated. This works also with the default pseudo icons.

2. Implement on Zune the icon scaling. With the possibility to have screens from low to high resolution an icon scaling mechanism is more an more welcome. I found very friendly the windows system that use the Ctrl+wheel to resize and set the icons.

No idea on how those tasks are heavy/difficult. It is just a suggest and mainly an hoping.

As for the first request there are two replies. :-)

Magellan quite nicely uses Icon->Information that allows drag-n-drop to change icon images. I use it frequently and I like it because it's easy.

I already started Icon Exchange for Wanderer but I didn't get very far with it. Now that there is more interest I will try to complete the task.

I think maybe AMIGASYSTEM mentioned the second item. He said that OS4 has icon scaling. So why can't we have icon scaling for AROS?

I would have to look into it to see what is possible. I know that Datatype scaling is possible but icons are handled by Icon Library so scaling may be handled differently. Icon Scaling would most likely be handled effectively inside Icon Library.
