- You're missing the point. We're not talking about the icons present in the
- Newicons package, but the newicons PATCH, which allows icons to have as
- many colours as you like, and makes the system use shareable pens for them.
- This is clearly a win. If you want, use "MWB2NI" to turn your MWB icons
- into NewIcons format and then you can have MWB icons AND do anything you
- like to your palette.
-
- There are also whole suites of "Newicons" icon sets which are not in the
- same style as those present in the newicons archive.
-
- I myself use a pretty random mix of standard icons, "standard" newicons,
- mwb icons and so on, but the mwb icons I use have all been passed through
- MWB2NI.
