    - glowicon.c, config.h
    Added support for 32bit glowicons. (itix)


    How do you create these? Since there isn't a "RAWBInfo" type utility on MOS, I'm not sure how this is done -- or are they like AROS icons (where two PNG icons are joined together)?

    Thanks.

    It was very late last night when I posted this -- forgot some things . . .

    First of all -- THANK YOU Itix for adding this! :-)

    It seems to work perfectly -- just can't figure out how to create icons.

    If anyone else would like to try this, there are many, many 32bit glowicons at Mason's site.

    AFAIK there is no tool to create 32bit glowicons but it could be trivial to write one. Format is quite simple.

    Not at all. They are like old 8bit glowicons but there are two zlib compressed ARGB chunks.

    I suspect that 32bit Glow Icons gets me geeked up more than most people -- hopefully someone will create a tool at some point.

    Thanks, again. :-)

    Hm, this new icons are not bad, but reading them takes much more time than the png-ones. :( (Reading a directory with 20-30 icons takes me 1-2 seconds...)

    Me neither.
    It's great to see that one of AmigaOS-only specific feature is saved in MOS for future.

    As mentioned below, there are a lot of them on Mason's home page (www.masonicons.de).

    Try this: glow32. It is simple command line tool to create 32bit glowicons from two images. I dont intend to develop it further but with this tool you can experiment with your own drawings.

    Thank you (again!) :-)

    Edit: Just tried it -- works perfectly!
