Thanks mfilos,

That's what I was looking for.  Now, I wonder.  Do you actually have to install MagicWB via the installation package in order to use these icons?

How do you make these icons the default ones for Workbench (i.e. so when you create a new drawer, it used the Small MagicWB icons instead of the default Workbench one)?

I'm thinking that if I don't have to install the actual MagicWB installation package (with MUI and all that), only the icons, then it would save a little RAM and maybe avoid any slowdown on a 68000.

SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys

In there you can put your new drawer icon and rename it to "def_drawer". So every new drawer you create will use that icon (after a reboot, due to ENVARC being copied to ENV).

Same goes for def_project, def_tool, def_disk.
Of course, they're icons though, so the actual file name is "def_drawer.info", for example.

MUI and MagicWB are two totally separate entities. MagicWB is just an icon set with a colour palette, running the installer will just copy over the icons, replacing the ones inside Workbench, and it will copy over some new fonts and a system palette, and some wallpaper images for your Workbench. You don't need MUI to have MagicWB. MagicWB is just a look, a theme if you like to "pretty up" your Workbench.

Having an 8 colour screen and 8 colour icons will slow it down a little. With a 68000 there's not a lot you can do about that.
