- this is depends on the amount of memmory you own, and the cpu power, NewIcons
- offers a new standard with amiga icons and new icon.library ,they can go up to
- 256 colors and if you don't offer as much colors they need they remap the pallete
- and still looking very good, the disadvantage of them is that take more memmory
- to display than normal icons and more disk space they also need a decent cpu in
- order to decompress the image realy quick.
- On the other hand MagicWB is only 8-16 colors and they have problems if you set
- your WB in a higher color depth.
- I have installed both first MagicWB and now NewIcons , i preffer newicons, but
- after all is a matter of taste.
