Hidden options? like memory vaporizing? Maybe if they offered OS 3.5 with
a standard looking WB like 3.1 without those silly glowicons and let the
end user still use Newicons or magicWB icons then there might not be a
memory problem as there never was in 3.1 with newicons used. so since going
to os 3.5 there is 2mb of MORE fast Ram and approximatly 300k to 800k more
chip mem used..for some glowicons?
what I want to know is, how can I delete glowicons and use icons such as
Prolite newicons that are more simple and smaller and do not leech memory?
