They certainly bear no resemblence to the default icons
on my ARMX6.
The only non-standard icons shown in the sprite are those
for !Fonts and !TempDir. The others have been generated, I
assume, by the Wimp.
The optical drive icon, the SSD icon, the Discs icon and
the Apps icon are in Resources:$.Resources.Wimp.Sprites.
The USB icon is in Resources:$.Resources.SCSIFiler.Sprites
The SD card icon is in
Resources:$.Resources.SDFSFiler.Sprites
None of these has been altered by me.
I'd be interested to see what yours (and anyone else's)
looks like.
(A few minutes later)
Last night, I noticed that the standard Directory icons
were blocky. I checked the WimpMode string in
SCSI::SSD.$.!BOOT.Choices.Boot.PreDesk.Configure.Monitor
and found that the string was missing the entries for the
eigenvalues. I added EX1 and EY1 but on re-checking a short
while ago, I discovered that I'd written EX1 and EX2 by
mistake - an age-related error.
Making sure that it was now correct, saving the file and
double-clicking it, I now have properly spaced icons in the
icon bar.
I suspect that it happened because I ran a Mode 1 BASIC
file to check something about how it ran. I couldn't get
back to my normal screen mode without rebooting. The
WimpMode string must have been mangled in the process and
only partially rewritten after booting.
Anyway, that's my explanation and I'm sticking to it. I'd
still like to see other people's icon bars to see what mine
got that's different.
Strangely, it only occurred at the ends of the icon bar and
i'm now wondering whether it might have something to do
with an interaction with RComp's MultiMon which allows the
desktop to use resolutions bigger than the normal maximum
(2048?). The icon spacing further inboard was normal -
perhaps because it fell within the normal maximum range.
