Hi Earle, Just about to try your patch.
I'm going cross-eyed starring at these icon! I think that there is a black outline to xeyes and xclock icons that maybe gets lost in the wash! KDE show them with an outline (maybe it's an add-on effect?) Also think xclock has a watch icon now, after all, not a clock (I'm seeing 4 eyes now!)!! I need a new big widescreen monitor and a new pair of specs! I'll maybe try it on a friend's machine, he always has the most expensive kit, being a graphics designer. Colin
