How to make your own BugMe! Notepad Clip Art

We adopted the same format as SilverScreen icon databases, but use our own creator id and type.

To make a clip art database, you need to download and install pilrc.

Then create a .rcp file in the following form:

icon ID 10000

BEGIN

    BITMAP "bullet_ball_blue.bmp"   BPP 16 TRANSPARENT 255 255 255 DENSITY 72

    BITMAP "hires\\bullet_ball_blue.bmp"   BPP 16 TRANSPARENT 255 255 255 DENSITY 144

END

icon ID 10010

BEGIN

    BITMAP "bullet_ball_green.bmp"   BPP 16 TRANSPARENT 255 255 255 DENSITY 72

    BITMAP "hires\\bullet_ball_green.bmp"   BPP 16 TRANSPARENT 255 255 255 DENSITY 144

END

Icons must start at 10000 and then increment by 10, ie. 10000, 10010, 10020, etc.

And finally run the command below to make the database:

pilrc -ro -type EPic -creator EPb4 -name your-icons your-icons.rcp your-icons.prc

If you want to support Hi Res icons (and you should) you also need to make a low resolution version. This is a bit of a pain, but pilrc won't create the database otherwise - it does mean Treo 600 users can use your databases too though.
