I am having a bit of trouble using our my own images for button icons. What
I would like to do is to use an image, say in pbm format, and turn that
into an image into an icon that a button can use. I got as far as this:
1. create a button
2. click on the icon button
3. go to the "my icons" card in the icon stack
4. double click on one of the icons to edit it; an icon edit window
appears
5. type into the message box:
import "pbm" from file "/home/damascus/d45/mcintyre/metacard/sa.pbm"
The image then appears in the icon edit window.
What do I do next? I have had several core dumps if I try to a window outside
the button editing process. I have tried closing the icon edit window and
nothing happens to the icon that I have selected to edit; the original
image of the icon remains. I have also tried closing the icon selection window
by using the "OK" button. Again, the icon on the button does not reflect the
image that I imported.
Has anybody done this successfully, and if so, could they tell me how to
do it?
Thanks,
