IconBuilder combines the power and flexibility of Adobe Photoshop(tm) with the ease of use of IconDropper to make a powerful icon creation tool for both beginner and advanced users as well as professional software developers. Written by veteran Photoshop filter author - Craig Hockenberry, IconBuilder is the first "real world" solution for creating 32-bit icons for Mac OS 8.5. Thanks to the use of layers (and their transparent properties), Photoshop makes an ideal editor to create the blended shadows, smooth outlines and translucent areas of 8.5 icons. Because it is a Photoshop plug-in filter, IconBuilder has the ability to translate any kind of transparent effect done in Photoshop layers, quickly and easily into the world of 32-bit icons for Mac OS 8.5 and beyond. "IconBuilder is the best tool a professional icon designer could ever hope for. No more futzing around in a resource editor, just do all your work where it's supposed to be done, Photoshop!" - Arlo Rose, co-creator of Kaleidoscope IconBuilder is available from Info-Mac as: iconbuilder-20.hqx [Archived as /info-mac/gui/icon/iconbuilder-20.hqx; 557K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 13:06:02 -0700 From: tsuyos-f@air.linkclub.or.jp Subject: [*] iMaciConsiMade vol.2 Please post this icon set on info-mac archive.

It uses its own simple language to allow the text-generation rules to be completely user-configurable. It is easy to write your own rules for McPoet even if you know nothing about programming your Mac. You can also use the large set of built-in rules, or the automatic rule-generating function which can turn ordinary text into an executable rule. The text morphing features include an automatic version of Tristan Tzara's original Dadaist formula for creating poetry from text, an eecummingsfication feature for imitating the style of the great poet ee cummings, multiple forms of Markov chaining (with several built-in probability tables) and much more. Rule files and the word-type files that they reference are stored externally, on disk. As a result, there are no strong constraints on the number of word types or rules you can use- McPoet can be massively expanded and fully customized by the end-user. Version 4.6 is a maintenance release which includes a small enhancement which was requested by a user, a few minor fixes, and improved documentation. In tribute to its Dadaist roots, McPoet is uncopyrighted and free. Both the application and its output may be freely redistributed in any way. It requires at least 4.5 megabytes of free disk space, at least 3 megabytes of available RAM, and a fast processor (or great patience!).

What program has creators that listen carefully to all user comments and suggestions then create new versions based on user feedback every couple of months? What program does all of the above is a great deal, a heck of a lot of fun, and can be downloaded right now from the internet? Answer - - -> iView Multimedia! A very special iView Multimedia user makes these comments. I've always preferred bits to atoms. But my Mac started looking like my photo shoebox - stuff everywhere. I don't need overkill. I simply need an easy-to-use, powerful, "shoebox" organizer for my photorealistic renderings, hi-res textures, and even digital photos of my family vacation. iView Multimedia is my solution.

It was previously archived as gui/window-menu-121-jp.hqx. WindowMenu is a utility that exists to let you do one thing: jump directly to a specific window in an application. Although I have a big monitor, I often find myself going through all kinds of contortions to get to a window I know is open but that is buried under a hundred others. Applications with "Windows" menus help things somewhat, but you still have to make the trip to the menu bar. WindowMenu will pop up a menu of all open windows in the current application and let you select one directly when you click anywhere while holding down control keys that you choose. It also lets you define a hotkey to cycle forward and backwards through all open windows. I use it every day and I think if you give it a try, you may too. WindowMenu is $10US shareware.
