WonderSkin

[Chris Lansdown]

Hi everyone, I have never used a group like this before and I dn't know the corret terminoigy, but I wondered if anyone could tell me (simply please) how to get icons to show instead of the numbers in the pop-up launcher bit of Wonder Skin. I have the Kinu-Maru prog and think I understand that.

Thanks

First of all, Is the Wonderskin One you created or one that someone else created?
If someone else created it, then you have two possibilities:
1. If they programmed it with a transparent icon then it will grab the icon from Kinu-Maru, if they didn't, then you cannot (to my knowledge) add the original program icon unless you modify their .WSB file manually.
2. If you programmed the wondersilk, then there are 4 icon display options in Wondermaker to chose from. High res small & norm, & low res small & norm. Each have their own size requirements as well. In order for them to grab the icon from Kinu-Maru click the check box for: Icon composition display in this part. And you must also add in a transparent icon.
For transparent icons: create an "odd" heighted bmp. 20X31 vs 20X32 or 20x30. Set the whole block as one color to signify transparency.
There are so many tricks I've found about wondersilks, there are too many to list. But I hope this helps. Any other specific questions, email me & I'll help out... :)

I am not sure I understand your question. There is a maximum number of program icons you are allowed to create. When you use the wondermaker program on PC you may insert images as icons onto your WSB file (you drop this onto wondermaker program window to edit). So you can create small icons and place them in the location of the number icons and link your new icons to different applications. However, I think you will be limited by the total number of application icons you may assign, but I am not positive and do not know what the number is or if the limitation has been changed during recent grogram upgrades.
