@AMIGAZ

Those are "_def" icons -- they're located in Sys:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys

Actually, they're "def_xx" ;-)

xx being the name of the icon it is used for.

def_ram for ram disk
def_df0 for internal floppy
def_cdx cd drive (replace x with the unit number)
def_trashcan for trashcan

After changing the icons in SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys reboot to see the changes (or change the same icons in ENV:).

hehe, if I was being my usual even more pedantic self I would've actually corrected myself too - "def_xx.info" ;-)

Cool! got it working too  :-D  thx!

Now to the next question:

How do I change the icons so I can have to different appearances, ex when I click on a floppy disk icon it opens...showing another variant of the icon.

PNG icons, doesn't have the 2nd image . . . pity :-)

Try this line for PowerIcons:

Run >NIL: PowerIcons SCROLLSPEEDUP NOGHOSTSELECT GHOST=100 SELR=96 SELG=80 SELB=80 TEXTMODE=2

or add NEGATIVE option (crap) for a super mega Special effect ;-)

Good to see :-)

I'm still using boring GlowIcons nicked from loads of different freebies on aminet.  I never liked the new look stuff.
