PS - I recommend SGrab for screenshotting:  http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/sgrab

Hi Mike, still struggling, I just re-downloaded the icons, but they still say (Tool) and not (Project)
Thanks

Just convert them with Iconedit.

You can convert them but that's going to be pretty time-consuming.  Where are you downloading them from?  Try one of the different packs on Aminet, there's quite a few available.

No need to fuss with IconEdit - you can change the icon type directly from the RMB menu of the info window. Still more time consuming than finding a pack with the icons set as projects by default, but quicker than IconEdit...

You've already answered your own question.  In your second screenshot you can see the icon type:  "Tool".  I've highlighted it for you.  Def_icons need to be "project" type icons, to which you assign a default tool.  See the additional screenshot from my system.

Did you use some kind of installer utility to copy these icons?  If so, it might've mucked them up.  It might be possible to open each one in IconEdit and change them back from Tools to Projects.  There may also be some utilities that allow you to do this en masse.  My suggestion would be to just re-download the entire archive from Aminet and copy them overtop of what you have currently.  That's probably going to be easier/faster.

Off topic, but, Mike, what are you using to change the looks of the window borders, as well as the menu bar at top of the workbench screen?

I run about a dozen different hacks and patches to customize the look of my Workbench. Off-hand what you're seeing is a combination of a heavily modified Visual Prefs and Birdie, with Multi_CX to change a few other things on the menu bar.
