I've done it using a resource } Well, I don't really understand this question because, in Gemini, there is (Actually you do :-).... You answer it later on :-)) } no need for a small icon to line up with a large icon. Gemini can display } either large or small icons...but *not* both on the desktop. If you take a WRONG !!!!!! If you put some program icons onto the desktop it (Gemini) uses the current icon size (And keeps THOSE icons that size). So you can have both large AND small icons on the desktop at the same time. } closer look you 'll find out that there are 2 seperate trees in the resource } file GEMINIIC.RSC, one for large icons and one for small ones. I noticed..... } Perhaps what you 're trying to do is to mix large icons with small icons } _inside_ the same tree. Although you are free to do something like that it Not quite...... } The "right" way to add icons is the following: [I deleted this... it answers my question..... and is basically the way I did it (except for putting ALL of the new icons at the end of the two icon trees in the right order--Oops)] } The whole process seems tedious, but I think that the fact that Gemini sup- } ports variable-size icons makes it up. Actually, I had fun doing it :-). The one thing to notice is that IF you add a large icon in the one tree you MUST add a small icon in the same position in the other tree. That's where I really goofed. (I also added a couple more icons for different types of devices to the first tree but hadn't checked them out yet.... %-) ) } whaoo...the article turned out to be longer than thought..I am sorry but chock full of info..... which is what counts around here :-) -Andy- -- |"The Snark WAS a Boojum, you see!"|Good : acs@unhd.unh.edu | |"Reality !?!
