- Ahh, I see now. The only reason you can edit 8 of the colors is becuase
- Workbench itself can use only eight. Icons, which are just bitmaps
- can have as many colors as you want and the OS will try to pick
- the right ones. You need a decent icon editor that can handle more than
- just the 8 colors supported by the Workbench icon editor.
