===== Alternative Icons =====

This started as a comment about the standard (yellow) PediTree icon
being rather too light for use on a very light coloured desktop.

Malcolm downloaded CoffeeCup Software's Free Icon Studio (but this is no
longer available) and created these two offerings:

{{:resources:PediBlueTree.ico|}} **PediBlueTree.ico** in which the tree is blue rather than yellow. \\

{{:resources:PediBoldTree.ico|}} **PediBoldTree.ico** in which the above blue tree has been boldened.

Mike Fisher has also had a go with Icon Studio and favours this version: 

{{:resources:PediBlueBack.ico|}} **PediBlueBack.ico** in which the tree is yellow but has a blue, rather than transparent, background.

Mike also suggests that where an icon is being set up to load a
specific database, overlaying the icon with a single white letter can
be very useful.

The above three icons can be downloaded individually or are available in this {{:resources:icon1.zip|single ZIP file}}.

Dick Walker has sent me his icon collection. He says <blockquote>When making an icon I use a "seed" .ico with the
centre lines there to work from which can be deleted later. When
modifying an icon I rename it from .ico to .bmp and open it in M$ Paint or similar.
When finished and saved, I rename it .ico .</blockquote>

Dick's collection is shown below and is available in this {{:resources:icon2.zip|single ZIP file}}, as well as for individual download.

{{:resources:pedigree.ico|}} **pedigree.ico**
{{:resources:pedview.ico|}}  **pedview.ico** 
{{:resources:seed1.ico|}} **seed1.ico** \\

{{:resources:phillips.ico|}} **phillips.ico**
{{:resources:philroys.ico|}}  **philroys.ico**
{{:resources:walker.ico|}}  **walker.ico**
{{:resources:wingusa.ico|}}  **wingusa.ico** \\ \\
