If I want to make a little icon, what's the best way to do it? Can it be done with the internal painting tool?
I have a hazy recollection of seeing a recommendation to use an external paint program and then importing the result (into one of the image or button morphs?).
While poking around I found the forms dictionary in Scripting System. Can anyone tell me if the code that populates it is in the system, or are we left only with the artifact? (I found some code for a few items, but not most).
Any recommended sources of icons on the net?
Thanks.

I would concur with that statement.
If you use unix / linux your could try the GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ or the KDE Icon editor. http://www.kde.org/ ( KDE home page. )
Photoshop for that man's apology of an o/s.

hundreds of them!!!
There are also many very beautiful icons within the kde distribution packages but it seems that they are not separated from their program suites.
What in particular are you looking for?

The only particular thing I wanted was the little X for deleting morphs, and I think I found it in the forms dictionary under Halo-Dismiss. Beyond that I'm thinking something to show containers as full or empty (maybe a Russian doll set?), and little icons for appointments, todo's and such. But I was also curios about the problem in general.
Thanks to everyone for the advice (in this and other threads). The people on this list are so helpful. It's wonderful!

There is a FatBitsEditor for morphic. Inspect a Image or Sketch morph and write: self form bitEdit

I've been poking around the systems browser, and I've figured out how to load a jpeg into an ImageMorph. But, how to I get access to that jpeg, pixel by pixel (like to built a histogram of the image, for instance), and write it back to disk? Or is the ImageMorph the wrong way to go about this?
