- : IMHO, NewIcons suck - they look so cheap, tacky, plasticy and toy-like.

- You should see MagicianWB-alpha. You might like it.
-
- It was made by a person with a shitload of time (me) who had AGA and
- also the NewIcons.library and was tired of 8 color icons. The Alpha
- version is fairly messey, but beta (still on my HDD) is a lot better.
- Here is what it is:
-
- MagicWB icons recolored in DPaint with a standard color scheme:
-
- Blue shades for directories
- Cyan shades for projects
- Grey shades for tools
- Orange shades for prefernces
- ect...
-
- Its really nice. I have it on my WWW (I'm not sure if the author of
- MagicWB would like the idea that his icons got hacked... 8) But
- alas, its really slow (needs at least an 040 to run smoothly for some
- odd reason).
-
- The point of this? It shows that MagicWB and NewIcons "can get
- along". 8)
-
- If you want it, look in my WWW page in the "Files/Download" link.
