Apart from that, I really like the still and I would be content with it... except... the C jumping out of the box doesn't have this beveled look, like all other icons have now :} Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
