Could anyone explain to me how to add a cicn resource to an Init so that the color icon will display when the system boots. I colorized an existing icon (Bomb Shelter) using Color Icon Editor and saved it in the file but when I boot my machine I still see the standard BW Icon. I read through the documentation that I have for CIcn Edit but don't know what I am doing wrong. I can see the cicn resource in the init file using Resedit so I know it was inserted. I recently bought a color monitor and am trying to add a little color to my life. Thanks for your help, -Rodney What book(s) would you recommend on this subject (how to do these types of changes using ResEdit or tools like CIcn Edit)? *********************************************************** ** Rodney Jacks ** ** Motorola Inc, Austin, Texas ** ** E-mail: rjacks@austlcm.sps.mot.com ** ***********************************************************

Adding a 'cicn' resource that has the same resource ID as the 'ICN#' should do the trick. ================ Of course, make sure you have an up to date version of ShowINIT.a from Apple. Look it over to make sure it knows about cicn's. ResEdit 2.1 has a nice color icon editor... -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE
