Hi everyone,

WPS-Wizard V0.6.0 ( http://svn.netlabs.org/wps-wizard/wiki ) comes with an advanced icon engine for using PNG images as icons. Icons can be created on the fly e.g. by overlaying several images to form a new one.

See the screenshots page for some examples:

Now a first tutorial is available for those of you who want to create their own icon themes:

http://svn.netlabs.org/wps-wizard/wiki/IconTutorial

This tutorial only scratches the surface of the features of the icon engine but is a good start and will help you to create about 90% of your icons. It is also helpful when you want to change one of the icons coming with the current themes (there is an 'Edit' button on the icon page, you know...) or intend to add more. More is about to come but will need some time.

To learn more about the engine go here:

Regards and a happy new year
