Is it possible to easily add color icons (cicn) to a menu? If you have a regular icon for a menu item and add it's color counterpart with the same id, nothing seems to happen. I've been reading IM V several times looking for how to do this, but can't find anything. Also, is there an easier way to add cicn to dialogs other than as a user item? I wish I just had to add the cicn counterpart to the plain icon and everything would work, but it doesn't seem so. Suggestions? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = "Whether you like it, or don't like it, sit | - gandreas@ub.d.umn.edu - = = back and take a look at it, because it's the | Glenn Andreas = = best going today!

I just created a color icon 'cicn'. It has the same number as my icon
in the ICN#. The only problem is that it only displays in B&W. I
have rebuilt the desktop. What's the magic command to make it work.
JOn.

The Finder doesn't display file icons in color even if you include a color icon in the file. There are a couple of INITs (although I can't remember their names) that display color icons. steve -- ____________________________________________________________________ Steve Christensen Internet: stevec@goofy.apple.com Apple Computer, Inc.

The trick of giving a cicn the same number as an ICON works only if YOUR program plots the icon with a system routine, such as an iconItem in a dialog. If you want a color icon for your program in the Finder, you'll either need to use somebody's nonstandard INIT, or your'll need to wait for System 7, and use not a cicn, but a different data structure, with a different resoure type, that is teh data part of a color icon, and assumes Apple's standard 16-color color table, in that order. -- -- David Phillip Oster - Note new signature.

ColorFinder displays color icons. I believe it was written by someone at Apple. Kevin -- =========================================================================== Kevin S. Wiechmann arpa: wiechman@rutgers.rutgers.edu This is only a test... for the next sixty seconds...
