Icon Tutorial

This page describes how to create icons for the WPS-Wizard icon engine. One of the key features of the engine is that you don't have to paint every single icon in an image manipulation application. Instead there is support for icon composing which means you build your image using several parts which are blended together. For example one choses a base icon and another icon is resized and painted on top of that one and maybe additional text is added. The resulting icon is not stored as an image on the users system but only the paint commands are recorded and the image is constructed on the fly as soon as the icon is loaded by the system.
