AOS3.9 icons and 3 colors

[TheGoose]

Hi.

I have noticed that the native 3.9 icons have all of about 3 colors: white, black, and blue. I check this out in Reaction UI.

Then I notice NewIcons report in all colors that are available, look good.

My A1200 does not have a graphics card or 16bit screen modes going, just an Indivision card installed.

Does the ClassACT GUI not support the 8 bit screens, just designed for the RTG machines?

And if that's true, you'd be better off just installing NewIcons over AOS3.9.

It's just NTSC High Res Laced, set to 64 colors.
NewIcons, appear normal.

Well, still unsure about how some of these became 4 color icons, but I re-installed AOS 3.9 on top of my current install, while in a 64 color screen mode and this fixed everything.

Now I'm wondering, if I initially installed 3.9 in some 4 color caveman mode, that somehow the information was just truncated somehow. The file sizes of these mutant icons were less that the ones in the 3.9 install directories... there were downgraded in a way???
