[comp.windows.ms] Video driver questions

I recently changed from generic vga to a Paradise high resolution mode,
using the Paradise driver from cica.cica.indiana.edu. It installed
without a hitch, but there was an unwanted side-effect: All the special
icons I installed using the public domain icons (from icon.exe and
iconlib.exe) disappeared and were replaced by the generic and ugly DOS
icons!	Is there a way to retain these icons, or do I have to go through
and change every one of them?  In the meantime I reverted to generic vga.
I restored the *.grp files which I had saved to a floppy. That revived the
icons.

Second question:  In 800x600 or 1024x768 mode the system fonts and group
icons are really small. Is there a way to have the font sizes of vga at
these resolutions (e.g. for window titlebars, etc.)?
