[comp.sys.mac.programmer] small application icn#'s in menus

fmodwyer@cs.tcd.ie (Frank O'Dwyer , ext. 1695) (08/26/88)

Does anyone know how MultiFinder and the ApplicationMenu INIT
produce the small application icn#'s in their menus?

Is this a "reserved" feature of the menu manager, or is it done
with mirrors and black thread independently of the MM?

	I don't know if it is a 'reserved' feature or not,  but all you need to 
do to get a reduced icon in the menu is to set itemCmd to $1D and for a small
icon (sicn) then set itemCmd to $1E (and of course set the icon ID = to the 
Icon that you want to display).
	I have not tried this, but I have the source for the standard MDEF and 
that's what it says!!
