Cool. Any plans to release them into the wild?

A-ha! Sorted, thank you!
I'd forgotten that tile-support is present as early as WM 3.98, so not needed in !3DPatch.
The tile names: -!3DPatch166 = tile_m & tile_m-8. and -WM 3.98(+) = tile_1 & tile_1-8. (tile_1-16)
...I wonder why M.B. didn't either copy the RO naming format, or continue the !3DPatch format for RO? (whichever way round it was).
Shame one has to load duplicate tiles to get the full effect... ...hmm, I feel a hack coming on.
Thanks again.

Also, it looks like Kiki's Delivery Service will be on Film4 at 13:05 on the Christmas Eve.

However, if you're running WindowManager 3.98, you should already have that feature, provided you have the necessary sprites/tiles loaded into the sprites pool.

Thanks. Yes, you're quite right, a sprite file is needed. To clarify I have such a file which 'skins' the menus fine but not the filer or icon bar... ...as the outline wimp patch skins all of these I assume there isn't a fundamental issue preventing 3DPatch doing the same and hope there's a hidden setting to change this behaviour.

The 3.1 sprite sets don't have that by default.

...As for my ROM, any way it can be saved, or should I bin it, and it's box and manuals?

We can supply Interword and a BBC Master 128. The Interwords are £10 inc post and I can do you a much better price than on our website for a Master if you can't find a surplus one.

I managed to take out the AMX Stop Press ROM - I have this, the mouse, manuals, discs, and packaging. Who wants to DTP 80s style?
