not sure why it doesnt work - really eaps dont care where the icon file is -
they are uised to compile the .eap file only - they can be anywhere as long as
they are readable by your user. you can always try creating .eap's by hand.
there is an example icon_example.tar.gz e17 ships with for your manual eap
creating pleasure :) with the "create by hand" methdo u can make them scalable
edjes that animate too and respond to signals etc.(a good example of this woudl
be the E dialogs - open up the about dialg ofr e17 - and now focus/unfocus it -
notice the window icon actually glows when hilighed? and fades out to normal
when not? u can do that kind of effect with .eaps. you can have them animate
any time u like - keep spinning, bouncing, glowing etc. wherever they are on
the screen, they will animate.)
