Hi,
Long time lurker, love these groups; very informative.

ICONs:
-- I would like to either;
1. Get rid of the space the icon itself occupies, leaving
only the text area being displayed. Or,
2. Get rid of the text area, leaving only the icon picture
portion being displayed.

Why? It's a personality conflight <g>. So many of the
ICONs are meaningless to me, the don't alphabetize correctly
(never did figure out what "name" Sort by Name uses!), and I
do know how to read and group similar types of programs.
   I would much rather have simply the program text names on
my desktop than all the wasted space taken up by displaying
both the icon and the text. And since you can't remember
all the icons without the text, it only makes sense to me to
get rid of the graphic and leave the text.

Can anyone provide a source that will let me do that? If
there's a way to do it already in Display, wherever, I can't
find it.
   OH, and I can make my own icons if #2 can be cone but #1
can't. Obviously I would prefer #1.

Thanks,

Pop
