Yes, the original Ecco toolbar icons
are stored in the "E_ICONS.BMP" file of 8/14/1997. The file has 49
icons, two are "Reserved", the file states: "Any additional slot
may be filled in with customized bitmaps. Please make sure that
the width of each icon stays the same". The slots are 21x21 pixels
with 17x14 pixels recommended for the graphic.
"eccopro32.exe" has 32 bitmap graphic icons built-in the
executable. Right-click the desktop icon, click on the "Shortcut"
tab -> "Change Icon" and you will see 32 choices. Each icon
(space) consists of 36w x 43h pixels. Once selected the
"executable" will point to that built-in icon space part of the
coding, no engine needed.

Hi Friedhelm;
We are using different terms for the "something" that
processes the bitmap icons inside Ecco. We'll need to
come up with the right universal term. What do you
suggest we call the "something" that processes graphics
inside Ecco?
We also have different beliefs on what Ecco+EE can and
cannot use for Icons.
I have been working on icons for EverEcco in Photoshop
for the last several days and can report with 100%
certainty - in fact I just ran the test again to be sure i
didn't screw up again - that Ecco rejects 8bit RGB
(non-indexed) bitmap icon files and displays perfectly the
256 color indexed version of the same 8 bit files (
"toolbar_ee.bmp" and "icon_ee.bmp"). From memory a few
days ago, Ecco was also rejecting 16bit RGB graphics
files.
My reference to the GIF format was not meant to confuse.
Ecco accepts only the original uncompressed bitmap "bmp"
format, not the compressed "gif" format. The GIF or
"Graphics Image Format" spec includes lossless LZW
compression whereas BMP images are 1 to 1 uncompressed.
However, the GIF format and the BMP format which Ecco
accepts have both the 8bit word length and the 256 Indexed
color scheme in common.
I'll have some screen shots and icon files soon on this.
New Ecco Icons for everyone! :)
