Is it a bug in Finder, or simply my imagination, that you cannot colour an icon black? UUCP: crash!pro-generic!sb ARPA: crash!pro-generic!sb@nosc.mil INET: sb@pro-generic.cts.com

It's as-designed. The Finder lets you separately color an icon's "outline" and "background" (see Preferences... dialog). The two colors for any given icon are fed to DrawIcon in QuickDraw Auxiliary. If both are black, no re-coloring is done. If at least one of the colors is non-black, then one of the colors replaces what would have been the black pixels in the icon, and the other replaces what would have been the white pixels. Or something like that. -- --David A. Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems Apple II Developer Technical Support | P.O.
