Startup

To start Icon Editor:

Open the Personal Applications subpanel and click the Icon Editor control.

Icon Editor starts with an empty drawing work area.

You can also start Icon Editor and have it load an icon into the work area in one of the following ways:

• In a File Manager view, locate the icon file and double-click it to open it. (The default action for pixmap and bitmap files runs Icon Editor and loads the file.)

• Drop an icon file on the Icon Editor control in the Personal Applications subpanel.

• Click the Application Manager control in the Front Panel, then open Desktop_Apps and double-click Icon Editor.

• Type the following command in a Terminal window:

   
  dticon -f filename &
  

If the path /usr/dt/bin has not been set in your .cshrc file, then type /usr/dt/bin/dticon to run Icon Editor from the command line.
