Creating icons for documents and stationery

When creating icons for a new document type, you must be able to generate one of the formats recognized by the Workspace developer tools. Currently, the developer tools recognize two import formats for icon graphics: CompuServe GIF and Adobe Illustrator `88.

You provide four icons for each document type to support the display of the document and stationery within the Workspace:

NOTE In this release, the stationery-small icon is not used; however, you're encouraged to accommodate this case as it might be used in the future. For example, it might be used for a list-based presentation that includes stationery objects.

Additional icon states used by Workspace presentations are automatically generated from the icons you provide. For example, you don't have to explicitly provide an icon that represents a selected document--the graphics system is used to generate that state from the document-normal icon you provide.
