This dialog helps you to find or create icons for toolbars and menus.
Open - open an icon file. You can use icons from a file of any type. You can select files and view icons it has, and it is not necessary to close the Open dialog.
Edit - edit the selected icon in the Icon Editor.
Shortcut - create a shortcut on the desktop to run current item (macro, menu, etc). Shortcut will have the selected icon.
Assign to menu item - insert the selected icon file name into the editor text, at the end of the line that contains the caret.
Open - open an icon file for editing.
Save As - save the icon to a file.
New - new icon.
Save - save the icon. For new icon, filename is created automatically.
When you create or edit an icon, click "Save" or "Save As", and then click "Assign to menu item". QM does not automatically save icons or prompt to save when closing the Icon Editor.
The Icon Editor saves icons to *.ico files that contain one small icon image (16 or 256 colors). Usually, icons contain two or more images (small 16 colors, large 16 colors, small 256 colors, etc), therefore you should not overwrite icons that are created not with the QM Icon Editor. The Icon Editor detects icon file format, and, if there is more than one small icon image, saves to a new file, unless you save with "Save As" and choose to overwrite.
Right click the grid to undo. Ctrl+left click to pick color.
Drag the preview icon (which is above the grid) to capture the screen or to slightly move the image in the editor. Drag with Ctrl to capture-add. While capturing, you can see top-left pixel's color.
The eraser color will be transparent.
When drawing, you can keep the Color dialog open and use it as alternative palette.
