Eric Schwartz icon collection (EWB system) ©1995 Eric W. Schwartz
This is a collection of icons in 16 colors, with a few older icons in 8
and 4 colors for those with low-demand workbenches or (choke) OS 1.3. This
Icon collection is freely distributable as long as the collection is
distributed in its entirety along with this docfile.
These Icons are on a 16 color system, basically related to the Magic WB
type of icon art with some actual colors added. The icon pallette is
"semi" Magic WB compatible, meaning that 8-color Magic WB icons (not
padded to 8 bitplanes) will look OK here. I just wanted some color, like
that NewIcons guy, but I didn't want to resort to the isometric wad of
newicons. Speaking of pallette, the 16 colors for EWB icons are:
COLOR# R G B DESCRIPTION
Color 0 170 160 170 (WB BG gray)
Color 1 0 0 0 (WB Black)
Color 2 255 255 255 (WB White)
Color 3 91 120 245 (WB Blue)
Color 4 153 144 153 (MWB Halfshadow gray)
Color 5 187 176 187 (MWB Halfshine gray)
Color 6 187 170 153 (MWB Beige)
Color 7 255 187 170 (MWB Peach)
Color 8 217 34 241 (Purple)
Color 9 145 90 70 (Brown)
Color10 62 62 65 (Dark Dark Gray)
Color11 110 105 115 (Med Dark Gray)
Color12 255 25 25 (Red)
Color13 255 255 0 (Yellow)
Color14 114 125 146 (Gray-green {used for WBVerlauf copper gradient})
Color15 0 200 0 (Green)
For OS 2.0/2.1 users, It is easy to adapt your workbench screen and
palette prefs to fit these icons. The nature of WB 3.0 and above requires
an intermediary program, such as SetPens to set the screen colors that the
palette prefs do not directly control (Palette only controls the first
four and last four colors of however big a color set you've got). Also, if
you wish to modify these icons, you will need a different Icon editor than
the one that comes with the OS. I would recommend "Iconian" by Chad
Randall, mainly because I used it to create a lot of these icons.
