I don't know how many times we had on the list on how to avoid the chipmem
usage of the WB, if you don't want to install those tools (if you have a
GFX board, WBCtrl just FLICKS THE SWITCH, it runs once, ITS NOT EVEN A
HACK!!!), well, your problem.
I don't know what you mean with "silly GlowIcons", if you don't understand
that OS 3.5 uses an entirely *new* icon format that has nothing do to with
neither the old images nor NewIcons but provides compatibility to those
two icon systems, none can help you. Face the facts! If its just the look
of the icons that disturbs you, even worse. If you like icon images hidden
in your tooltypes, well, what can I say...
If you want the OS 3.1 functionality, then why don't you revert to OS 3.1,
install NewIcons again, and let go OS 3.5 if you don't like it? Stop your
CONSTANT nagging and moaning on the list, there's better things to discuss
than your inability to install WBCtrl (there is no chipmem used once its
been run!) or why you don't like the new GlowIcons.
The one time you lean back and relax is the time the boss walks by.
