Some features

IconX manages layers, like TheGimp. Today, 3 kind of layers are implemented:

a text layer (with an empty background). Code:

    ...
    <layer name="myText" class="text" x="10" y="20">
      <text value="Hello" color="red"/>
    </layer>
    ...

a rectangle layer. Code:

    ...
    <layer name="myRect" class="rect" x="10" y="20">
      <properties width="50" height="10" fill="#ffff00" border="#ff0000"/>
    </layer>
    ...

an image. Code:

    ...
    <layer name="myImage" class="image" x="10" y="20">
      <path value="bookmark.xpm"/>
    </layer>
    ...

More about layers

With these 3 kinds of layers, you can build your onw icon:

the combinaison of 2 layers (the XPM image, then, a vertical gradient PNG image). Code:

  ...
  <layers>
    <layer name="myImage" class="image" x="10" y="20">
      <path value="bookmark.xpm"/>
    </layer>
    <layer name="myTransparentImage" class="image" x="10" y="20">
      <path value="v-grad.png"/>
    </layer>
  </layers>
  ...
