You're mostly right. Facade does disk icons only, not other icons.
It's name dependent, so if you make a special icon for your hard
disk named "Fatty" for example, and you inserted a floppy named "Fatty",
it would have the same icon.
I use it in conjunction with Icon Colorizer and the result is quite
pleasing.
Of course, all this becomes obsolete in Sys7 as that capability's
included in the finder there.
But it's a good "hang in there" solution till Sys7 stablizes.

I recently talked to Greg Marriot, author of Facade. He's doing system software stuff at Apple and has told me he would be joining forces with ColorFinder's author (sorry, name just escapes me) as soon as Sys7 is out. Some new features would include things like colour icons and allowing common names such as, I believe, Hyper Disk1 and Hyper Disk2 to have the same icon etc. Can't wait! >Of course, all this becomes obsolete in Sys7 as that capability's >included in the finder there. >But it's a good "hang in there" solution till Sys7 stablizes. >-- >Ian Chai Internet: chai@cs.ukans.edu > Bitnet: 2fntnougat@ukanvax -- <<<< My employers ignore me, I'm on my own when I speak out in public :^( >>>> < Norton Chia | Mail me on norton@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU APPLELINK:AUST0240 > < Micro Support | "There are only 3 types of people in the world: > < Uni of Sydney | Those who can count, and those who can't" >
