INTRODUCTION
|
||
If you like to keep your icons neatly arranged on your screen, NEATICONS is for you. After this package is loaded, whenever an icon is created by shrinking a window, that icon will be "neat." But what is a neat icon? A neat icon is one that is lined up with with another icon or window, or the edge of the screen. The easiest way to see this is to load the package, shrink a few windows (creating a snapshot and shrinking it is easy), and move them around. When a neat icon is moved near another icon or window or the edge of the screen, it is "grabbed" and moved neatly near it.
|

Neat icons line themselves up in a variety of ways. They will flush themselves with the edge of the screen. They will move themselves a fixed number of pixels from the edge of another window. Or they will align one of their edges with the corresponding edge of another window. When you move a neat icon, it will try to find a "neat" position near where you placed it, and place the window there instead. It may find a nearby position that is horizontally neat but not vertically, or vice versa. In any case, it will move the window into the nearest neat position it can find, or leave it where you put it if it can't find any nearby neat places.
