bug? no bug :) just like Mr. Gates would say.. "feature" :)) the problem
is that the ICON works fine, then ICONCOLOR clobbers the original ICON
so that it is now a color icon (ver 2 bitmap).
pre 3.5 devices cannot handle color icons *to the best of my knowledge*.
if you want to do what you are trying.. then this is what you need:
ICONFAMILY "bitmaps/icon.bmp" "" "" "bitmaps/iconColor.bmp"
that is how it is will be *eventually*.. but right now, you MUST have
all four bitmap types in the icon family in order for it to work. i am
working on some code to allow 1bit and 8bit only etc.. so that the
above works. :))
... people bugged me for a release of it.. and thats why it is out. i am
also going through the code, cleaning it up - documenting it, so that
maintenance will be much easier. :)
> Also, black and white icon then does not show up in the launcher.
i use ICONFAMILY and it works fine on all devices i have tested it
on.. the format right now is as follows:
ICONFAMILY "1bpp.bmp" "2bpp.bmp" "4bpp.bmp" "color.bmp"
and ... before i get smothered with emails.. SOME will be optional
later, but right now they are *ALL* required.
