Then if you get tired of the way that MWB looks, cost and want something
better, try Iconographics IMO.

It is Freeware and you get much better looking icons and you can still use
NewIcon to lock the color of the icon, in the icon.

It can be found at AmiNet in...

IGfx30.lha         pix/icon   744K  14+Iconographics 3.0 - Icon/NewIcon
                                        Collection.

...and if you want even more icons, try...

UselessIcons.lha   pix/icon   115K  17+Icons & backgrounds for
                                        Iconographics.

...so there you have it.
