I'll have to go with Akira on this one. New icons uses up a lot of memory, and slows down operations a lot. And magic icons just don't look good IMO

So, do you use standard Workbench 3.1 ? IMHO standard icons dont look any better than MagicWB or NewIcons... :laugh
Btw, my Ami has 68040@40 and still ECS, so... at least it's accelerated... |

Btw, when I open Workbench3.1 in 16 colour screen, then MagicWB icons appear in strange colours... How to fix it?

There should be a palette supplied with the MagicWB distribution, just go into 'Prefs/Palette' and load the palette in.
IIRC this worked fine for me. |

How about Fresh Icons (off aminet) that use a 16 colour display and are freeware. Included is a program to hack the right colours on boot.
I think they look cool, especially on my multisync monitor in Productivity mode (shown below). I refuse to use Newicons, don't like them. |

Nice aren’t they
![]() The small MagicWB icons are the only choice for PAL/NTSC TVres. Move into high res productivity mode and you can choose much nicer icons like shown above. ![]() |

I find it disgusting :P The color scheme is disgusting, the icons' "design" is disgusting. Lack of taste.
