I think most of this is in Iconian (or some other icon editor). But I
agree, the 'official' IconEdit is pretty pathetic nowadays.

You can already do this with DefIcons (part of the NewIcons package).
You'd have all your JPEG files without icons, but DefIcons determines the
filetype and gives it the icon ENV:Sys/def_jpeg.info

: 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...
Have you had a look at VisualPrefs?
