GShell 1.26 works perfectly and has all the features a gui should (but I'm 
shure we can think of a few more to include in the next version), but it also 
has an iritating little "feature" - I wouldn't really call it a bug - that I 
would like to change.

In all previous versions, the background color of the icons (white if you use 
Tandy's standard colors like I do) is the same as the background color of the 
desktop. In version 1.26, the desktop has a black background but the icons are 
still white. I don't like it that way. The icons all look like little white 
squares on a black background. 

I know this can be changed because I've done it twice on accident. I had two 
games running and closed one or both of them, and when I went back to GShell, 
the icons, with their white background, blended nicely with the white desktop. 
No ugly black border around everything. but the "system" icons (folders, 
generic data and program files) were on a black square! Unfortunately 
something was messed up and the computer crashed a minute later.

Can anyone tell me how to patch or otherwize permanently fix GShell so the all 
the icons can be displayed on a matching white background, without crashing?
