Question about GLOWICONS!!

[barney]

I heard from people that Glowicons is a pretty cool program to use.  I went to Aminet.net to download but was seriously blown away from all the "glowicons" downloads.  Which one is the basic initial Glowicons program to make installation simple.

Also, which do you people prefer - Magic WB or Glowicons.  I have been using Magic Workbench over the last year and i have to say that I am getting rather sick of it.  Those large "hard drive" icons are starting to nauseate me.  Thanks.

I atttempted to install "Newicons" but it cancelled the installation.  It stated that I need the ClassAct 2.0 GUI system installed.  It gave an address to obtain this program, but the address is no longer active.  Attempting to find this ClassAct program.

I am using WB 3.1.  I unzip the newicons lha file and click on "install" icon.  It pops up a windows stating that I need classact2.0.  It then kicks me out of the install.  I tried the "installnewicon" tool, but that doesn't seem to do a darn thing.

Thanks.  Is "Classaction" the same thing as "Classact"?

Thanks for the info.  I did find a demo version of classact on aminet.net.  In installed it and OS 3.5 installed perfectly.  Funny thing is that my icons didn't change at all.  They are the same icons as in OS 3.1.  Is this bizarre?  Shouldn't they be somewhat different?

Methuselas, I tried what you mentioned about replacing the icons.library from 3.9 to 3.1 but that didn't seem to do anything.  Just to make sure I did it correctly, are you saying to take the small file "icon.library" and drop it in the "Libs" folder in 3.1?  The funny thing is that this libs file is extremely small.  Am I also supposed to move the entire list of icons from the OS 3.9 disk over to my OS 3.1 installation?  If I need to also do this, where do I copy these icons to?  Thanks.

I did upgrade to OS 3.9 and I find it too slow on my Amiga 2000.  I am going to re-install 3.1.  I find it much quicker on my machine.  I was just thinking that it would be nice to have to glow icons from 3.9 instead of the boring 3.1 icons.

This may sound like I am an idiot CAMMY but how do I install the actual icons.  Is there a particular folder I can just dump them in or do I have to assign each icon where to go?  Either way, I have never done this before so could sombody explain it to me.  Thanks.
