Team Newicons Announces V4.0 Release of GUI Icon Enhancement System

The NewIcons package includes the DefIcons utility, which transforms all those iconless files on your hard drive into visually identifiable virtual icons on the fly as they load into an opening Workbench window. Deficons recognizes over a hundred different filetypes and identifies them almost instantly during loading.

Most notably, the NewIcons System has the following new features:

• Large speed increases with icon loading/rendering
• Optionally shadowed or outlined icon text for easy legibility on all Workbench backdrops.
• Transparent icons (no more ugly borders) that remain transparent when you drag them.
• New Utilities to convert all drawers in a directory or partition to a user selected image.
• Beautiful 32-color icon set and palette, which is backwards compatible with prior icon releases - a Workbench pen saving feature.
• and much, much more.

NewIcons is directly supported in many commercial products, including Cloanto's Personal Paint 7, GPSoft's Directory Opus Magellan, and dozens of other commercial, shareware and freeware packages. Team NewIcons is also proud to announce that NewIcons comes preinstalled on all Micronik tower systems sold by Blittersoft.

Team NewIcons releases this software free of charge, a freeware gift with our thanks to the Amiga community. We look forward to the future of the Amiga Operating System, with our hope that palette independent icons will be included as a default standard with future versions of AmigaOS.

The NewIcons System can be obtained from the Official NewIcons Support Site at http://www.amiganet.org/NewIcons/
