Description: Iconiser is a replacement iconiser for the one supplied with the Pinboard module. Iconiser still allows the other Pinboard functionality to be used. Iconiser is fully integrated with the Acorn help system Help. Only one copy of Iconiser can be running at the any time. A window is iconised in exactly the same was as with the Pinboard. The advantage of Iconiser over the Pinboard is that the icon for the window is placed at the right (or left) edge of the screen. This makes the icon more accessible than the iconising behaviour of Pinboard. Once iconised, the window can be re-opened by clicking Select on the icon window. If Adjust is clicked on the icon window then the window is still opened, but the icon window is left on the desktop. Clicking Adjust again on the icon window will close the window. When the window is opened with Adjust the icon is highlighted to show that the window is open. Now includes iconisation of tasks and variable length icon names.
