[comp.sys.mac.system] Also: This is how you get color icons

   A couple of things I neglected in my first posting.

   First, make sure you don't give your new icon a label.  If you do (and it's
not white) you will have a funny looking result.  Any white in your color icon
will be the label color.  Obvious, but easy to overlook.

   Second, if the icon doesn't have a solid black border around it, you might
not get the results you expect.  I think this has something to do with the
way the system calculates the mask for your icon.  Whatever the reason, make
sure there is a continuous black vorder around the icon before trying to use
it.  I'm not sure this is a problem, but some people have had it.
