Then some documentation on the seeding page, and possibly some install
instructions would have been nice.

Could you expand on the "can not edit graphics" bug? There were a few
major things I found.
The first, and most frustrating, was the @#$@$#1!!@@ black icon problem
*still*. I created a new multi-bit icon, edited the color verion (just
black/white scribbles), copied it to the BlackWhite section. Closed the
icon, re-opened it and the BlackWhite area is all black (the color one
seemed fine). I have had this problem (and reported it *numerous* times
since R5 :(
The other thing, which might relate to the bug you mentioned, was I
created a new bitmap, drew in it with some colors, closed it, opened it
and everything was either black, white, or gray.
One other thing I saw was if I set a bitmap to say 1 bit, closed it, and
reopened it, it was back to being 256 colors.
And question on the Icon/Bitmap Families, are they OS backwards
compatible? I mean, since the bitmaps must be in ascending bit depth (at
least *something* was documented ;) I assume older OS'es can read the
1-bit depth image fine... am I right or wrong on this?
