The "Current icon" field displays what icon (picture) is currently used
to display the object in open
&link_folders;.
Unless you have modified the object's icon, the default icon for the
object is usually determined from the object's
class.
In other words, most objects have a default icon. However, you
can replace any icon on this page.
To modify the object's icon, do one of the following:
-
Drag and drop
an
icon file (usually with an
.ICO
file name extension) into the "Current icon" field.
-
Drag and drop
any other object into the "Current icon"
field. That will copy the icon from the object that was dropped.
- Push one of the buttons next to the icon display.
The following action buttons are available:
- "Edit icon" will start the
&os2; Icon Editor with
the current icon of the object. You can then modify the icon. If you save
the icon with the Icon Editor, the object will pick up the change.
- "Browse" will open a standard &os2; file dialog which allows
you to find a new
.ICO
file to use for the object.
- "Reset icon" will reset the object's icon to its default, which
is determined by its class. The button is
disabled if the object is already using the class default icon.
Note that folder objects usually have a second "Icon" page after
this page, which allows you to change the folder's animation icon.
