Parameters can be supplied, normally either on the Shell command line, as Icon Tool Types on the Project, MPMorph or MPRender Icon, or in a settings file.

Note: All the Project Icon tool types are used if the project is run with a default tool or by double clicking a tool, some are not used if the project is selected using a file requester, if the Tool was run from the Shell then file requester selected project tool types are ignored. Also some settings can not be changed on open projects,
