Well back to the whipping pole...
It seems now to be a major problem with colors the CDEV by Joel West and
color icons. I'm trying to understand but my knowledge is still to shallow
when it comes to memory management on the mac (and many other things ...|-()
The problem with memory being gobbled up when using cicn in alertboxes and 
trying to edit menucolors and anything else in the controlpanel using colors
remain, and I sure would like to know why. Is this a problem with Joel West or
apple or the people who has so far supplied us with the color-icons or the
color-icon editor the one that came recently on the net gives me the same 
problem. It was called CIcon Edit and is real nice. The author Ben Haller
writes: "CIcon Edit is just about done."
 Well I dont think so, it's a great little thing but would it not be nicer not
to have to find out with ResEd or such what ICONs and Icn#s are available?
Something like an other Iconeditor (black and white) I think it was named:
"ICON Designer" and was distributed about half a year ago.It would let you see
a list of the ICON ID's as well as the ICONs when you selected a file! that
would be nice!! Bottom line if anyone knows *what* is going on im dying (sort 
of...) to find out ( I have trashed more than 25 systems all kosher and
installed the SCSI-driver on my harddisk 4 - 5 times in the process of 
finding out what was wrong, I'm crazy about little gadgets and I guess I had
loads of stuff that could have been the cause of all the grief)
Thank you for any help!
