Use full-colour icons if possible | |
If ticked, the icons on the taskbar will appear as 3D rendered images, which look rather funky. However, if you are running your system at 256 colours or less, the colours in the icons would be corrupted and so basic 16-colour icons will be used instead, but they look less funky. If unticked, the 16-colour icons are used. |
