About the Icons

Most are provided as is (apart from the occasional filename change to prevent clashes on our system). Some, however, have been subject to a few minor modifications:

• Wherever possible the icons have been given transparent backgrounds.
• Some came with borders. These have (for the most part) been removed. The icons looked better without them. (The only one which kept its border was the pic of the Mona Lisa. It looked better with&nbspa border!)
• One or two of the xbm pics were converted to gif format.
• A couple have been colourized (or their native colours enhanced to make them better stand out).
• Mirror images were created of one or two of the asymmetric lines/dividers (in one case because the original mirror image was unusable).

The balloon pic has also been modified in a similar fashion. (Originally it had no top half.)
