One layer in the layers pad is always selected. This layer is called the current layer. The current layer is surrounded by a box whose color is the layer color. In the previous example, the first layer is selected. Icon Editor operations that apply to a particular layer apply to the current layer in the layers pad.
You can use the layers pad, in conjunction with various commands, to create, reorder, clone, redefine, and delete layers.
The size and shape of the icon viewer are the same as the size and shape of the icon itself. An outline indicating these dimensions appears on each layer in the layers pad. The icon size indicator shows the icon's dimensions numerically in workspace units.
You can reshape the icon viewer with the mouse to change the size and/or shape of the icon, and you can use the viewer as a drawing pad to draw new graphics on the current layer. When you make any change that affects the appearance of the icon, the icon viewer updates immediately to reflect the change.
Command Buttons
These buttons control all Icon Editor actions except the drawing of graphic elements. You can use them as needed to invoke editor commands. Each button contains a label that names its function. The following table summarizes the command buttons and their actions.
