- Wear your glasses :-) I run my desktop in a 2 bpp mode on a greyscale
- monitor, and I have no problem with the thin grey outline. In fact, I find
- this is a matter of taste, and if most people find that the solid drag
- obscures where they want to drag their icons (which is a valid point, IMO),
- then the default should be to have solid drags switched off. After all,
- Acorn has to satisfy the majority of their costumers, and the other ones
- know how to switch the stuff on again.
