Hi colour notify icons in win2k

[adamg]

ive noticed that w2k does not use more than 16 colours in its notification icons (near the clock) like xp does. eg the msn icon and nav2003 look a bit dodgy compared to what they look like in xp. is there any way to use hi-colour (16 bit + ) icons in w2k?

i think the only way is to upgrade to xp

I just peeked in the Knowledge base from MS, but I couldn't find anything.

Haven't tried it myself.

It worked for me (using Windows 2000 Server SP3)

It seemed to work. My OpenOffice.org tray button looks better, but msn and nav havent changed, though while signing in msn looks better, but goes back to the old one when signed in.

thanks for all the help though
