How to create icons?

How would an "average user" create custom icons?
I own Illustrator and have XCode installed.
I have looked through some of the documentation but it is not exactly helpful unless one has iconsets or icon folders, which I do not know how to create. I get that I can use iconutils via the Terminal to convert between .icns and .iconsets - Whoopdeeedoo!
I have seen references to Icon Utility, but cannot locate it.
Hmmm...

I have seen references to Icon Utility, but cannot locate it.
Moved to one of the add-on packages for Xcode. Part of the Graphics Tools for Xcode package.

How to create ICon/Cursor from pdf files

     I was able to create ICon from jpg file without problem but I couldn't create ICon from pdf files.
Here my code:
var myDoc = app.newDoc();
myDoc.importIcon("myIcon"); // it worked when I chose a jpeg image, but it didn't
//when chose a pdf file.
icon = myDoc.getIcon("myIcon");
oIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(icon);
myDoc.closeDoc(true);
app.addToolButton({
               cName: "myButtoon",
               oIcon: oIcon,
               cExec: "app.alert('Someone pressed me!')",
               cTooltext: "Push Me!",
               cEnable: true,
               nPos: 4
   //app.removeToolButton("myButtoon");
My goal is to create buttons which have icons from a pdf file (stamp) and when user click on these buttons, the cursors become the icon . And then, when user click on the document, the iCon will be showed in the document. The point is: is there anyway to create icons/cursors/stamps from one pdf file. Because the stamp is changeable, when user changes the color/shape of the pdf file, the icons/cursors/stamps will automatically change
What kind of pdf format do I have to use?
I used the sample "SignHere.pdf" in stamps folder of Acrobat but it didn't work.
Thanks.

The SDK has all the information - but certainly there are only samples for those common actions that users have been doing for years. Most developers don't recreate stuff already present in the application - such as the Stamp plugin - so we don't have samples of such things.
But all the pieces you need are present in the SDK - it's just necessary obvious. You will need to learn about the details of how the plugin APIs work to create the toolbars and toolbuttons, and then how to handle cursors. You will then need to learn about PDF details in order to be able to take an existing PDF, potentially modify it (eg. Change the color(s)) and then place it onto another PDF.
The methods you listed are from JavaScript - there are alternative methods for plugins, such as the AVConversion APIs.

How to create iconic buttons in forms 10g.

I am trying to create a iconic buttons, same I am able to do it in forms 6i but not in 10g. And also please give me a proper example of java bean items in forms 10g

dear sunny
are u able to do the iconic button on 10g forms i try but appear the icon on button I have alreay do the following
Runtime Configuration
1) Creating Jar file
i) Once you are ready with your GIF files or JPG files, create a folder called ICONS. You can create this folder anywhere. For e.g. you can create ICONS folder on a C drive under root directory or as a sub-folder under any folder.
ii) Assuming you have created ICONS folder as a root folder on C drive, now copy all your GIF files in this folder.
iii) Go to the DOS prompt and enter cd\
iv) At C:\ prompt enter the following command to create Java Archive File (JAR) called my_icons
Jar ?cvf my_icons.jar icons
(Note: If above command don't run then paste icons foled at C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin.)
v) Copy this file in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
Please remember that having the name of the folder holding GIF/JPG files as ICONS is very important. Because if the folder name is something else, icons will not be displayed in your form at run time.
2) Modify REGISTRY.DAT file
i) Open this file located in <Forms10g_Home>\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry folder.
ii) Append the existing parameter default.icons.iconpath as follows:
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
iii) If you are going to use GIF files as image files for icons, then leave the existing parameter default.icons.iconextension=gif as it is. If you want to use JPG files instead of GIF files, replace GIF with JPG as shown below:
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
3) Modify FORMSWEB.CFG file
This file exists under <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Server folder.
Append the following existing parameters:
i) imagebase=codebase
ii) archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob .jar,my_icons.jar
After doing above configurations, create a form and place an icon on the button. Set button's icon property = Yes and give name of icon.
NOTE: This icon shoul be in jar file. If u want to add more icons in jar file then u will have to create JAR file again. Also again place it in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
pls if u have any solution send me

Hi,
I think easiest way is use list.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/nav_list.htm#sthref1856
In each theme there is some list template that shows images.
You can also customize list templates.

How to create icon/ tools?

Till this time I used to work mainly with photoshop regards to creating web sites, or adjust photo, photo manipulation etc. Now I ve got a very nice task ahead of me- to design minimalistic outline icons set- aproximetely around 10icon for web design.
Stuggling which tool I should use- I need realy nice curves to reach nice sexy icons:)
What kind of tool and technics are you guys using when you are designing icons?
like those?
http://othericons.com
thank you so much!

You may want to check out Illustrator, because to me at least that looks like a task that would benefit from being done with vector data (even if it may be converted to pixels later on).

How to create icon on the taskbar

please give me some codes for this problem. I dont know how to write in C++. Thanks

I'm guessing that you're trying to put icons in the Windows system tray (where the clock is). If so, this is what you need:
http://jeans.studentenweb.org/java/trayicon/trayicon.html
I'm searching for something completely different, and I keep seeing this question in this forum. I'm sure people would've found this a lot more easily if the term 'system tray' was more commonly known. =)

How To Create Icon & Assign It a URL?

I'm a fan of Google though the only desktop dock icon i know google has is of Google Docs so people can easily access it.
Say I find a Gmail icon online. Can I save it an place it on the dock, with assigning it a URL so when I click on it it'll take me directly to my Gmail, rather than opening up Firefox and so fourth?

Locate the URL icon and select it, then press COMMAND-i to open the Get Info window. Select the image you want to use as the icon image and copy it to the Clipboard. In the Get Info window click on the icon image in the upper left corner then paste the contents of the Clipboard.

How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

Hello All,
I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
Thanks

C:\users\All users
JS
Hi,
I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
Thank you.

How does the icon get created for a saved file

In my program I allow saving files using JFileChooser and ActionListener.
In the constructor of the main class which extends JFrame I also set an icon by saying:
this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage());
This does not only set an icon on the title bar and the minimized window, it also creates an icon on my saved files. However, the image quality for the icon on my saved files is bad, even though the image quality for the other icons is ok. The size of the icon image I am providing is close to the size of the icon image on my saved files.
How did the icon get created for my saved files? Is it possible to improve the image quality?
Thanks for looking at this!

I just realized that
this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage())
did not create the icon for my saved files.
So what did create it? I did not program it!
However, I happen to have an icon file Ananya.ico where I have my java project. I use if for my installation file. Did Java use this icon?
Please help! Thanks!
