Memo:
I noticed that the light source for the local LocalAppsMAB directory was above and to the right. The "real" light source on the NeXT is in the upper left hand corner.(get with it, man!) I have fixed this blaring oversight below. I wish that who ever was responsible would more careful in the future! I bet things like this are critical to the organization. Mistakes like this can cost billions or something. Have a nice day.

Anally your's

B.T.W. I have cc:ed this to the icon mailing list in the hopes that some public humiliation will shame who ever was responsible for this into shape. (I'm sure they're all having a big laugh at your expense. HA!)

Anyone who watches cable (The Discovery Channel) may recognize these.

They belong to a TV show that shares the name of our hallowed OS.

mostly 1-bit with a few random 2-bit grays.

(Done with IconBuilder - is this only a developer app?  do non-developer NS people exist?  do they want a quick-n-dirty (free to cheap) pixmap editor like IconBuilder?  With documented extensibility?)

A Note to Thierry.  WetPaint is an image manipulation program.  I use it for complex shading, scaling down images (something it calls antialiasing), and detailed text manipulation (into bitmapped images).

There are many apps related to images, and the functionalities sometime blur together.  It may be hard to draw a line in the sand.  Draw?
