- I really am a fan of NewIcons and happily have converted every MagicWB-
- Icon into a real Icon. There`s only one thing that could/should be changed
- in `DefIcons`: I`d like to specicfy a path where DefIcons should look for
- the def_xxx.info files. I do not want to spend so much RAM in ENV: for all
- those icon files !
-
- Oh yes, another thing: why does DefIcons not use the whatis.library ? In
- fact, I recently replaced DefIcons with `IconChief` which does basically
- the same and matches the two criteria I`ve mentioned above. But it behaves
- a little different concerning disk icons and some other things, I did
- more like the behaviour of DefIcons.
-
- Can you do anything about it ?
-
- Another thing: what`s so new about the Version 2 of the NewIcons package ?
- I could hardly find any difference !
