The purpose is to show the icons as 'grey-ed out' while running under MultiFinder, so that you can easily see what applications are open. This has ruined a lot of neat icon/mask combos, like Lightspeed C and Red Ryder. A question: I can understand why this is necessary under MultiFInder, but would it have been so much trouble to leave things the old way under single Finder? -- --Paul I'm goin' back ta duh Bronx, where it's safe ta talk normal...
