I installed the new final powertoys and messed with the shortcut arrow option in tweakUI. I put it on "None" and since then my icons are only shown in 16 colors!! it's ugly!!!! I can't get it back to 16bits. Can anyone help???

The weird thging is, when i put my desktop in 24 bits colors the icons look normal (but i can't put it in 24 cuz my tv-card doesn't work then).
Btw i'm using a SIS 8 MB pci videocrad (i'm waiting for a geforce 3 ti200)

REGEDIT:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"Shell Icon BPP"="16"

It's really weird, the problem only occurs when using the final tweakUI. When i use the tweakUI that was lreaked with the powertoys some weeks ago all works fine... I'm back to the beta powertoys smile
