Looks like ArcaOS holds the crown for contemporary icon editors??
When editing icons I used to think that is one of those areas where OS/2 shows its age. That icon editor is.... bare bones. Nothing compared to contemporary icon editors.
Today I suddenly wondered - wait, what contemporary icon editors?? Which modern desktop comes with an icon editor?
Most allow to assign icons to individual files,

Funny story, turns out you can just create a minimal WPS class by subclassing the WPAbstract class in an IDL file, and you only need to provide a dll name, a major and minor version, and a passthru to tell the emitter to add an `#include <os2.h>` statement. `sc -sxh;xih;xc Minimal.idl` (that's the SOM compiler) will then generate include files and a `.cpp` stub, which can be compiled with `wpp386

There's only one tiny step left to complete the first phase of my SOM exploration, basically just switching out one single line and hope it doesn't break anything, but so far pretty much every step meant "back to the drawing board", so I f… ★ 2

I just needed to add an 'implementation' section to the IDL file. That specifies the 'releaseorder', thereby silencing all warnings about them, and tells the SOM compiler to "#include <os2.h>".

Has it been one month already? Yeah, steady progress....... Looks like I'd rather do pretty much anything else than looking into SOM.

About

Learnt BASIC on a C64. Spent several years writing DOS programs in Turbo Pascal. (Oh how I miss having to optimise my code.) Fell in love with OS/2 the first time I read about it. Tried it and never looked back. Been using Linux for some 3 decades now, still coding daily (different languages, mind you), but there's never been a desktop like OS/2's Workplace Shell. There's just no going back to application centric GUIs.
