Thanks for the heads up Cammy.  After fiddling around with newIcons for hours, (corrupt images, bad ADFs, ugly as sin) I am back to magicwb.  I could not get those newicons to work for nothing.

This is probably because it conflicts with some of your other patches, you can read more about this in the documentation that follows the newicons package. Especially MCP have some functionality that needs to be disabled.

I agree with Cammy that newicons probably looks a bit outdated now, but I have decided to use these icons on at least one of my Amigas. This is because of nostalgia reasons.

I am using Newicons for more than 10 years and i love them.
Don't know much about Glowicons, but i think they are compatible with newicons.

I belive there is some confusion here. First of all, GlowIcons is an icon style and not an icon format. The icon format used by AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 is called ColorIcons. It is possible for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 to use NewIcons in addition to ColorIcons, but AmigaOS 3.1 and lower can't use ColorIcons.

I do belive there are tools on Aminet that can be used for converting NewIcons to ColorIcons and vice versa.
