- Well, there you go. By now you've probaly seen it, so I'll
- say this- did you like it?
- Okay, so I admit that my Workbench isn't actually that
- impressive, but it's something which I like rather a lot. The
- background and the Hard Disk icons are all taken from pictures from
- the amazing Anime series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' (available from
- AD Visison UK as a series of 13 videos). The series is excellent, and
- the style is so superb I just had to use it for my Workbench
- background. If you've never seen it (or, woe betide, never heard of
- it) then shame on you!
- You'll find the original image for the background included in
- the 'Source' directory, just in case you like it yourself :)
-
- I don't actually use a very sophisticated Workbench, when it
- comes down to support programs and suchlike. I use the following
- programs, which I have briefly described for convenience.
-
- Visualprefs despite being incredibly unreliable, and
- screwing around with Newicons a bit, the
- Visualprefs patch really does imrpove the look
- of your workbench. I had to persevere with
- this a lot to get it to work, but when it
- does, it's great.
-
- WBStartup+ Great little tool for controlling your
- WB startup. Allows configuration of what to
- use, and what task priority to assign. Handy.
-
- MagicMenu A brilliant tool which allows expanded and
- 'sticky' menu's for ease of use- and they're
- much nicer looking than the original menu's.
-
- CycleToMenu A small but helpful tool which gives nice
- little menu's rather than ackward cycle
- gadgets.
-
- MultiCX A great little tool which is highly
- configurable and does the job of loads of
- other commoditties- as well as some other
- little tricks of it's own.
-
- BBlank Wonderful! A tool which gets rid of those
- horrible grey borders on the screen,and gives
- nicer black ones.
-
- Toolsdaemon A menu utility which allows user-configurable
- menu's and assignment of keys to the new
- items. Works well with Magicmenu.
-
- ReKeyIt Another menu utility which allows for
- reconfiguration of hotkeys for various menu
- items.
-
- ARQ A friendly and nice little pacth which doesn't
- do a great deal other than drastically
- enchance the System requesters which have a
- habit of popping up at innoportune moments.
-
- Hotbar Not too reliable but useful utility which
- displays a number of user-configurable (I
- love that word. No, really!) icons which
- launch various programs. Faster than a menu
- and much nicer looking.
