I have a stupid question, I recently upgraded to CodeWarrior for Palm OS
release 6 (from release 4). I did so for basically two reasons,
emulator debugging and new resource support. Specifically, I wanted to
add the small app icon and some basic color support.
Silly me, I expected to be able to create an ICON resource with the
required dimensions... Not only could I not figure out how to do so, I
discovered that the CW6 install did not seem to include the HLP file for
Constructor!
I searched the www.palm.com FAQ and discovered a brief explanation that
I should create two multibit icons, specifically numbered, and use just
the upper left of the 'small' one. Sounds simple, cumbersome and
stupid, but simple...
Alas, I encountered a second problem with CW6 - Constructor lets me
create a 'multibit' icon and edit it, but whenever I close and reopen
the icon it is blank. It does not seem to matter if I edit 'B&W',
'Color', or both...
Has anyone else experienced these 'features' of release 6 (Windows)?
Perhaps I should have reformatted my drive to eliminate all traces of
release 4?
Also, what is the deal with 'small icons'? Even if you create multibit
icons and give them resource IDs of 1000 and 1001, the 'application
icon' field at the bottom of the Constructor project window still wants
to create a 'regular' icon...
Thanks in advance, sorry about the complaining.
