icons and toolbar bitmaps
Icons and toolbar bitmaps come in many formats, including;
Icons
Since .ico formats are required internally by the executable (.exe) files in MS-Windows for the program icon, the icon used by wxHatch is stored in .ico format. This also applies to projects built with wxHatch, which are assigned a defualt mondrian icon
In both MS-Windows and GTK-Unix systems, this icon is displayed in the frame and when the program is iconised
Toolbars
The toolbar bitmaps are always stored as xpm format files
Cursors
In wxMSW, cursors
are stored in .cur format. In version 07
of wxHatch, several different cursors are used as the mouse is
moved over the menu zone in both MSW and GTK code
Editing images
The complex tutorial builds a simple
icon editor and convertor which will read/write .ico, .cur and .xpm
formats
- otherwise use gimp
