In reference to making DigiPaint's icons bigger:
One way of starting with a decent sized icon is to use IconEd to make the
320x200 and 320x400 icons taller. I made them tall enough to match the
aspect ratio of the screen. When DigiPaint has loaded a picture that does
not have a .info file, it uses creates new icons that have the same width
and height as the .info file that was used to launch the program.
To repeat:
1) Start DigiPaint by clicking on an icon that is the right size & shape.
2) Read in the IFF picture (DigiPaint can read non-HAM pictures as well).
3) Use HALVE or DOUBLE if needed.
4) Save the file to RAM:
5) Open the RAM: window, select the icon, choose INFO from the WB menu
and set the tool type to something like "c:ViewILBM".
6) Copy RAM:picture.info to disk:drawer/picture.info
I have done this to all the pictures on the early Fred Fish disks.
