Hi,
You can convert a blitz image into an Icon using WB3D_BBImageToIcon() function - see wb3dStyles.bb.
That function returns the handle to the icon which you can then paste or 'draw' onto gadgets (window, panel, ..) using WB3D_DrawIcon().
And don't forget to 'free' the icon when you don't need it anymore using WB3D_FreeIcon()
But 'converting' an image to an icon is not super fast, ie. you should not use it for real-time options.
Ofcourse, the bigger the image, the longer it takes to convert..
But if you're working on an editor, then it might be totally acceptable.
I use it myself to create thumbnails for a model library for example..
There is no way to manipulate an existing icon - as far as I know.
But using the functions I mentioned above, you can alter a blitz image, reconvert it again and paste it back onto the gadget.
Hope that helps.
Danny
