Replacement of ImageList Collection Editor

I'd like to know how to either replace the ImageList Collection Editor 
or at least have it show my images in the correct size instead of 
"scrunched".

When the ImageList adds your image, I think it scrunches it.  It doesn't display scrunched, it actually is scrunched, because that is what an ImageList is used for (namely tree view, small icons for lists and combos, etc...)

Yes, but a 16x16 bitmap is not supposed to be "scrunched" into 20x12 view that is in the
editor, that's just ludicrous. Why couldn't they have made it display the corect size. 
When you have dummies doing UI things like that, it's no wonder Borland products are 
better...Although, in Delphi 8, they use the same old stupid Microsoft editors for the Windows Forms designer.

Why not utilize other means of collections rather than the ImageList?

Probably because the ImageList is required for many of the Windows Forms controls, there is no way to attach an alternate collection to say a TreeView because the TreeView is backended by a Win32 TreeView, and an ImageList is backed by an actual Win32 ImageList.

I can see where this guy is coming from.  Now coming up with a solution for him is going to be difficult.
