Icons Installation

[Cindy]

Hi,

I created an icon that I want to use with Agenda One. How do I get Agenda One to recognize the icon? I can view the icon when I look in the program folders but it's not on the list when I want to select it under Manage Catagories > Select Icon.

I've tried turning off/on the phone.

Thanks,
Cindy

Here is an excerpt from our FAQ page (http://www.developerone.com/agendaone/help.htm) that should help:

Please tell me more about creating my own icons for use in Agenda One.

First, you’ll need an application that’s capable of creating and saving images as icon ( *.ico ) files.

One of the many great solutions available for this is Microangelo®, available at http://www.microangelo.us (http://www.microangelo.us/). Many other free applications are also available online.

Agenda One Category Icons are each a single icon (*.ico) file that contains the following image sizes:
9 x 9, 12 x 12, 16 x 16, 22 x 22 and 32 x 32.

The great benefit to users with this image configuration is that no matter what size display or font size the user selects, an appropriate size icon will be chosen from this list to display within the views.
This completely eliminates the need for shrinking and expanding images and delivers a far better visual experience.

Every *.ico file that you create must have these five different image sizes included within it. Agenda One makes use of all of these sizes to display the icon in different places (i.e. the Icon Chooser shows a large icon, while calendar views will likely use a smaller version of that same icon)

Once you have created an icon file, copy it to your device and place it in the \Program Files\Agenda One\Icons folder. (if you have Agenda One installed to a storage card, the location may be different.)

Your icon will now be available from the Category Icon Chooser within Agenda One.
