Confused about the RichViewActions

Hi. I am looking at the RichViewActions demo and I am confused on creating a RichViewActions based application.

Your actions test program states:
"Demo project. You can use it as a basis for your applications."
But the linked dmActions module states:
"It's not recommended to use this module in your applications directly -
create your own ActionManager with richviewactions instead."

Here are my questions:

(1) What does it mean to not use the dmActions module?

(2) Do I have to create my own icons or are the ones provided in dmActions alright to use?

Help. Please.

It just mean that it's better to create a copy of this module ("Save As") and use this copy instead of dmActions.
It's because this module is used for registering actions in Delphi, and changes in this module may affect designtime behavior.

Of course, you can use images from this module. There are not to many original images there :)
