Welcome to the AniCONS September 2001 Icon List!

Hello, and thanks for downloading the September 2001 list! The AniCONS Icon List is a group of over 1200+ Anime icons, all compiled into one single, cross-platform icon list. We are back up after some short holidays (june to august), and hope to be able to release a list every 2 months from now on.

This is out seventh full public list distribution, and, as always, we welcome your comments (come to our HL server and drop us a note in one of our boxes, or talk (private chat, or private message) to an admin [if you can catch one! ;p]. We have been extremely overwhelmed, again, by the many submissions, and thank you all gals & guys for all those icons!

We are enforcing the following policies regarding submissions.
#1. No more than 25 submissions per person at a time.
#2. Names of files should not exceed 32 chars in length, including extenstion. ex.. (.psd)

Also, we have put in place a removal mechanism for icons. Sad as it is, we think it is necessary to remove icons now and then to prevent the list for being too big (it is never fun for modem people to leech really big files. And we did have a few troubles regarding Mac as far as size is concerned). Please please don't go complain to admins because your icon(s) was removed. We did have a hard time sorting icons, it was really painful...

As always, comments, suggestions, submissions are always welcome!

This list will work on all Hotline clients (including 1.2.3), our own client AniClient (Windows), Zombie (Mac), and some Linux clients (Fidelio for one)

To select an icon :
First find the icon you want to use and note its number, using either the integrated icon viewer (Mac/Fidelio/Zombie/AniClient), the external one (Windows), or the online browser (All OS). Then follow the instructions below.
Mac OS and Windows Hotline Users : Open your Hotline client, hold down the 'Ctrl' key and press 'F12'. A dialog titled 'Secret' should appear; in the top line enter 'icon', and in the bottom line the icon number you selected. Then press 'Execute'. Finally open the 'Options' dialog, and without changing anything click the 'Save' button. That's it!
AniClient Users : Open the 'User Options' dialog, and click the icon field to open the internal viewer. Browse to the icon you want to use, or enter its number manually, and either click 'Ok' or double-click the icon. If you are connected to a server, an alternate way is to type '/icon <number>' in the chat entry zone and press the 'Enter' key.
Zombie Users : Open your Zombie client, hold down the 'command' key and press 'I'. A dialog titled 'Icon Browser' should appear. Select your icon by clicking on the desired icon. That's it!
(Note: Due to a bug in Zombie you may have to click the icon below the actual one to be selected. Not our fault. Sorry.)
Fidelio Users : bring up the 'options' dialog, 'user info' tab, click the 'icon' button and select the one you want to use. You will have to relogin to servers for the change to take effect.
