- I'd bet good money that the original poster (and anyone who agreed with
- them) actually meant :
-
- "A system which gives the same result as NewIcons in that colour
- palettes are included in .info files, and images are remapped to provide the
- closest possible image to the original author's icon image should be
- implemented".
-
- I don't think they mean that :
-
- (a) the encoded data be stored in the ToolTypes as it is now. Which is only
- done due to current limitations of the OS.
-
- or
-
- (b) the icon images themselves be used. (Though that's a bit more
- doubtful - some people may want them. <shrug> I liked the idea of whoever it
- was that suggested a CD release of the OS with MWB style icon images,
- NewIcon style icon images, and any others that AT could get their hands on
- being present.)
