The new version of MWB still uses 8 bitplane icons, so they are much too large and take up too much chip memory. You can fix them by using Dpaint and IconEdit, but it takes a *long* time (a minute per icon). ALSO, he provides a new iconupdate program to do automatic replacement of all your icons w/o messing up your window sizes, placements, tooltypes, etc, AND it seems to be sensitive to the exact contents and sizes of your icons. It uses "magic" bytes from the icon to determine if this icon needs to be replaced, and I am not sure what re-editing all of the distributed icons would do to his install script. That said, I will tell you that it is absolutely worth it in terms of how much better it makes WorkBench! (MWB icons look terrible on a 4 color lo-res workbench).
