If you are like me and have ran Agendus 7+ on your Palm, whenever you go into an icon set in, Icon Manager, you will notice a non-icon resource (a dot) in each set that has been opened by Agendus. Unfortunately this is a problem caused by Iambic that cannot be fixed. Ideally, icon sets should contain only icon resources (Tbmp type), but Agendus 7 modifies every icon set on the Palm, inserting some non-icon resources into them. These non-icon resources can range from being just an annoyance to causing some applications to crash.

If you are no longer using Agendus and would like to get rid of the non-icon resources the following steps will remove them from an icon set.

1. Open the infected icon set in Icon Manager.

2. Open the clipboard by clicking on the notepad on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

3. Click on the Select+ square (on the bottom middle of the screen) so a checkmark appears in it.

4. Choose all of the icons you want to keep(drag your stylus over them) and copy them to the clipboard. An important note: Do not use the “Select All” option on the Record menu for this step. If you do the non-icon resources will be selected. This icon is not an icon resource.

5. Click the “Select All” option on the Record menu and then choose the “Delete Icons(s)” option from the Record Menu. An important note: Do not delete the icons in the clipboard.

6. From the Record menu choose the “Paste and Insert” option to copy the icons back to the set from the clipboard.

7. Delete the icons in the clipboard, save your set and then close the icon set.
