Microangelo 5.02

- Version 5.02

Microangelo 5.0 includes the complete release of On
Display. Animate icons on the desktop. Easily
customize any icon Windows displays. Simply right-
click on the icon, select Appearance, and select an
icon or animated icon from any file on your computer.
Fourteen libraries of great-looking icons are included
to get you started.

Find the icons you're looking for with Microangelo's
Explorer. Navigate through icon-laden computers,
drives, and folders, browsing the files that contain
icons and cursors. Explorer also serves as an
excellent "home base" for accessing these graphics
using the rest of the Master's tools. Microangelo
Explorer sports the familiar look and feel of Windows
Explorer. A double-click on any of the displayed files
takes you directly into the appropriate Microangelo
utility designed to access the selected file.

Librarian is a powerful utility for viewing and
managing icon libraries of all types. Use it to seek
out all icon sizes and color formats. Librarian
displays full-window viewing of every icon image in
any standard icon file type. Drag 'n' drop icons
between Librarian windows or double-click any icon to
instantly edit it using Microangelo's Studio
component. Easily extract embedded icons to ICO files -
just drag and drop them into any Windows folder.

Studiois a graphics editor that can manipulate images
in all sizes and color formats. A full-featured tool
set includes a graphic selection tool, pencil,
multiple brush sizes, color erasers, flood, rectangle,
and ellipse drawing tools. Intelligent paint modifiers
can apply color gradients, dodge and burn existing
colors, and anti-alias drawing operations against the
graphics below. Complete clipboard support to cut,
copy, and even scale paste operations. Studio can
import and scale bitmap images with awesome results.
An actual size viewing area offers a "real time"
display of the edit session as you work. Perhaps one
of the best features of all, a powerful undo/redo
manager allows you to step through many changes of
thousands of pixels, encouraging creative
experimentation.

Animator builds upon the strong foundation of
features found in the Studio, adding animation
specific tools. A "new frame" tool inserts any number
of frames with the option to pre-fill using the
current frame's image. A list box is used to display
and select frames for editing, and accepts direct
entry of each frame's viewing length in "jifs" (1/60
of a second). A slide bar offers global speed
adjustment to increase or decrease the speed of the
animation across all frames. Create and edit animated
icons or animated cursors.
