Definition:
An icon is a tiny picture on the screen that
represents a program, file or folder.
Explanation:
Icons make it easy to find what you are looking for. To
tell the computer to open a file, folder or program, double-click on
the icon. To select an item, click only once on the icon.
Sentence:
"Double-click on the KidPix icon to launch the
program."
Macintosh icons are 32 x 32
pixels. This icon has been enlarged so you can see each pixel
(square) and understand how it was created. You can make your own
icons with a graphics program such as ClarisWorks Paint. Enlarge the
picture so it's easier to work with, and be sure the final image is
no bigger than 32 x 32. (TekMom says, "Never change the icons on
anything other than your own personal files! Respect the computer's
original icons, program icons, and the icons of files belonging to
others.")
