The answer lies in my original response. Desktop icons are represented by text files whose names end in ".desktop" in each users ~/Desktop directory. In these files is the path name to the icon file. You can use that path name to find or open the icon file in order to produce a variant using one of the various image editing programs. > > > What, if anything, must I do to convert Windows or OS/2 icons for > > > use in the Llinux desktop? > > > > IIRC, Linux uses PNG format for icons.

There may be even more, but these will work. > Stan Goodman Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
