I think you are essentially asking about sharing your personal settings of Icicles options as a sort of suggested Icicles "starter kit" for others, which is certainly OK. You have posted here only anonymously, Earl. If you have concerns or questions about customizing or sharing Icicles code, please mail me directly. Thx.
