Drop NewIcons like a hot potato and switch to Peter K.'s icon library.  This will allow you to display all NewIcons, GlowIcons, .png, and whatever else, limited only by the number of colors of your Workbench screen.

http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4

It's a drop-in replacement library in 3.9.  With 3.1 you'll need to use something like LoadModule or LoadResident.

What do you mean "???" - ?  With 3.9 or 3.5 you just stick it in Libs: and it works automatically.  With 3.1 you have to use LoadModule or LoadResident.  Which I guess would be more obvious if the Aminet link wasn't down right now, LOL.  :(

IMHO this is something that's so fundamental to Amiga use everyone should be running it.  Just my .02 cents.  :lol:

Mike,

Just wanted to say thanks for the info, running the Lib and everything is Hunky Dory.

You're post makes me wonder?  Do you know what all setpatch does? I know it loads the romupdate file, the icon and workbench librarys and scsi.device.  What else am I missing?

This varies pretty widely depending on version and system config.  If you're curious, just execute it at the command line and see what list of patches it has installed.  Here's a couple old screenshots I had laying around:
