You can use any resource editor you like, the default one in BeOS is QuickRes. xres is a command line tool. Using QuickRes is quite easy, just run it (from a Terminal), QuickRes & Save your new file as TheApplication.rsrc, and click on the new button under the menu bar, to add resources. for bitmaps, use Bitmap (BBMP) give it a name (click in the list on the right column) then you can copy-paste the bitmap from another painting app (click in the bitmap area before hitting ALT-V) Remember you can open any image with QuickRes to access the bitmap data (even .jpgs and so) and copy-paste from them. Reminds me I should ask the Creative Team for a new icon for Workspaces :) grin, I really liked the old one. > Don't laugh, but it was only after reading François Revol code for > Workspaces and trying to implement reading and writing of the > preferences file I thought "Ahhh that was what my lecturer was on about > in C++ while I slept.....".

OO design is meant to be this way. We call this encapsulation. Of course for a prog like that it doesn't really matter, anyway taking good practice habits on such small progs really help later when working on huge things :) > > >Sort of.
