 '''NewIcons''' (or '''NewIcon''') is an icon file format associated with the ''NewIcons'' software for Amiga computers. ''NewIcons'' is a popular third-party utility that adds support for higher-quality icons.
-NewIcons images are usually 36×40 pixels in size, and can have up to about 255 colors. Unlike the original icon format, the colors are not determined by the user's chosen color scheme.
+The standard size for NewIcons images is 36×40 pixels, though other sizes are common. They can have up to about 255 colors. Unlike the original icon format, the colors are not determined by the user's chosen color scheme.
 See [[Amiga Workbench icon]] for more information about Amiga icons.

-A NewIcons file is (more or less) a valid [[Amiga_Workbench icon|original format]] icon file. It contains an icon (or a pair of icons) in the old format, which will be displayed by applications that don't support NewIcons format. For some reason, in practice this icon is usually a blank 5×5 8-color image.

For some reason, in practice this icon is often a blank 5×5 8-color image.
 Icon files can contain a table of strings called "ToolTypes". NewIcons abuses this data structure by storing the actual image data in it. Locating the ToolTypes table is nontrivial.
-In a NewIcons file, the first string in the table contains a single space: "<code>&nbsp;</code>".
+In a NewIcons file, one of the strings in the table (usually the first one) is a single space: "<code>&nbsp;</code>". The next string is the message "<code>*** DON'T EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES!! ***</code>". Later strings contain the NewIcons data, which includes the image dimensions, and the palette and pixel data.
