It would be really nice if an official up-to-date icon editor made a
reappearance in WB3.5.  Hopefully it would be capable of doing 3- and 8- bit
icons, anim icons, borderless icons, importing palettes from other icons
(MWB, eg) and doing search and replaces for icons with the same
tooltypes/filetypes.  You could make a .jpg icon and then save/replace all
the .jpg icon images on a disk or drive.

It would be really, really nice if by version 4.0, this editor could also
edit, load, save, typical standard WB gadgets, etc.  Then instead of the
MUI, ClassAct,etc developing system patches, they could distribute "gadget
sets", background patterns, etc...

Just a suggestion for us ol' desktop fidgiters.
