Re: Any issues upgrading to Gambas 3.15 stable in Mint 19.3?

Answering my own question here.

Just read this in the Gambas beginers guide...

Re: GForm , zenity like gui maker for shell scripts using pipe to talk to script.

Stock Icons anyone? So i found my large file size issue was not because of the stock icons component added. Then removed. So I've added it again :) Now if you type GForm geticons you get this...
