[Intro] The Iconolog : Miscellany

Icons quite commonly have a transparent background, this collection was tested using a light grey or white background. Background colors have not been set in display pages to facilitate testing an icon against an intended background.

Warning - beware of expansionism. An icon is invariably smaller than the block partitioned on a drive, but this block is the minimum amount of space that can be allocated to a file. Those cute little icons you just downloaded once de-archived will consume far more of your drive than the sum of their bytes.

Time & space make it impractical to include all variations on an icon although many examples can be found in The Iconolog Iconsets. It is quite simple to edit these images to suit individual requirements.
