An icon file may be referenced by putting single quotes around the filename. The file extension determines the type of icon. Currently supported icon types are .dmi
, .bmp
, .png
, .jpg
, and .gif
. To create dmi icons, use the Dream Maker icon editor. This allows you to make animations, 4 or 8 directional icons, and icons with different states (such as “live” and “dead”).

You can also load icons into memory at run-time and manipulate the graphical data to produce new icons dynamically. This is done by creating an icon object.
