  • The preferences have been organized into three panes: Menu, Imaging and Saving accoridng to their functionality. All items have tool tips for help. Some items have been renamed for clarity.
  • The background color now has an associated transparency control (alpha.) This value is set from a slider on the "Imaging" pane of the preferences window. "1" is opaque (fully colored) background, and "0" is fully transparent (clear) background. The defualt background color is white.

  • Management of the various options available in Preferences has been simplified by moving the Preferences pane out of System Preferences and into the menu bar application itself. This simplifies both installation and access of preferences for icon2Image.
