ICONEDIT (Icon Editor) is used to create icons, pointers, and bitmaps. In the PM, an icon is a graphic symbol that identifies a data object, a system action, or a minimized application. A pointer is a small shape on the screen that reflects the movement of the mouse. Pointers have a hot spot that identifies their exact location on the screen.
Icons, pointers, and bitmaps produced by the Icon Editor are graphic symbols comprised of pels in any of the following display states:
Mini-icons (also called small icons) are icons that are one-half the size of normal icons (also called large icons). Normal icons are 32x32 or 40x40 pels (depending on the monitor resolution). Mini-icons are 16x16 or 20x20 pels. They are used in areas where a normal icon is too large, for example, in toolbars.
If you previously had OS/2 installed on your system, and if you did not update your icon profile when you installed this OS/2 Warp Toolkit, you need to run the Icon Editor once with its profile update options in order to use the mini-icon forms. To do this, enter:
X:\TOOLKIT\BIN\ICONEDIT /t /i
where X is the drive location for the installed OS/2 Warp Toolkit.
After the initial run of Icon Editor, the new mini-icons will be part of your profile and you will not need to use options /t /i again.
