How to add custom folder icons?

WatzNew comes with a set of predefined folder icons. However, you can add your own icons.

Each icon must be a 24x24 pixel size non-compressed Windows Bitmap (.bmp) file, that should be placed in the \images sub-directory under the directory WatzNew has been installed to. Normally this should be c:\Program Files\WatzNew\images. Just copy the bitmap file there and it will be avaliable after WatzNew is restarted.

Important notes:

Your icon must have the exact size of 24x24 pixels, otherwise it won't be loaded.
WatzNew assumes that bitmap has a transparent background and takes the background color from the lower left pixel. Thus, all pixels that have the same color will appear transparent.
WatzNew has a set of built-in icons with the following names:
- default.bmp ("closed folder" image)
- default2.bmp ("open folder" image)
- weather.bmp
- hardware.bmp
- newspaper.bmp
- football.bmp
- zipdisk.bmp
- stats.bmp
- letter.bmp
- boy.bmp
- heart.bmp
- house.bmp
If your bitmap will have one of these names, it will replace the built-in icon.
