This is great, Stefan - it sounds like you have this thing nailed.
One thing *I* don't understand is, if my overlay set of choice
("XPStyle") has only NINE icon images, why is there a "shortage of
slots" issue at all (with 9 < 11 etc)?
Or is the shortage because of OTHER software that I have installed?
