This is a little tool, written to demonstrate the ability to change icons
with "SBM Utilities".

On top of the screen is a list with icons you save till now. In the lower
part of the screen will be shown the name of the selected icon and you can
see the icon zoomed by 5 and in original size. To the right of the big icon
you can select the drawing color (the column with the pen at the top) and
the filling color by tapping the little squares. The selected color is
marked by a dotted frame.

Right under the big icon (where you will do all the drawing) you can choose
the drawing tool.

Pen

The pen will draw pixels as you move. Note that if you move too quickly not
all pixels will be drawn.

Line

Hold down the pen at the position where the line should start. Move the pen
to the destination and lift it.

Rectangle

Hold down the pen at the position where you would have the first edge of the
rectangle. Move the pen in the direction of the desired diagonale for the
rectangle.

Oval

Like rectangle but draws an oval.

Dotted rectangle and oval

There are also filled versions of rectangle and oval.

Eraser

With the eraser you can scrub out all the pixels of the icon.

Icon Editor supports undo/redo for all the tools.

Status bar

There are buttons in the status bar to create a new icon, to save
modifications or to delete an existing icon.

The size of the icons is restricted to 31x29 pixels. This is the
recommendation for extras icons.

Planned for the future:
- edit masks
- edit gray icons for Newton 2.1
- save the icons in different soups
- rename or copy icons
