ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating composite icon images for a foreground icon and background icon is disclosed. An icon reference tag is used to retrieve icon image data and icon mask data for each icon. Once the data is retrieved, logical operations are performed to generate composite icon image data and composite icon mask data. A custom icon badge is disclosed which can be generated and employed on base icons. Also, an icon override mechanism is described which allows replacement of a particular icon for a particular application or document with another icon.
