(The old version of xo-colors let you edit the XO icon... with revisiting in this context.) We need to figure out how to flush the icon cache. regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> </blockquote></div> -- Daniel Narvaez
