I've been meaning to reduce the number of colors anyways, but a small
standard colormap for the pixmaps is even better. It looks like a
good representative of colors.

Do you have a script or program to do this, or are you going to do it
all by hand? If you have a script or program, you could send it to me
and I'll run it on my stuff for the next patchlevel, or you could
point me to a tar file after you convert them. The only reason I
didn't use the quantize_pixmaps script is that it doesn't handle
transparent colors well. So, if you have another way to do it...

Roy> Oh, is icons in the titlebar gonna show up soon?

Perhaps eventually, but not soon.

Thanks,
Chuck
