MAGICWB ICONS
» III «
Released 05-12-94
_____________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
This is the 3rd MagicWB (
© Martin Huttenloher
) package from me, Jan-
Tore Eliassen. The icons has been worked on and off for the last 5-6
months. I've have stolen lot of ideas from most of the MagicWB
packages out there (
huh-huh, cool!
). Hope you don't mind! I'm not
that good with mixing colors and creating something from scratch you
know!
:-(
Anyway, hope you like these icons, fartknockers!
;-)
_____________________________________________________________________
CONTENTS
This package contains some 190 MagicWB icons, drawers and dock-
brushes. Sorry, but because of the amount of icons, no detailed
description of the icons are available.
Many of the icons in this package are old icons from the
first 2 releases, JTEMWB1.LhA & JTEMWB2.LhA, which I've updated to
MagicWB v2.0 templates and colors.
There are also a lot of new icons, some ImageDrawers for locale files
and a few ToolManager (

) dock-brushes.
A couple of the icons don't use the standard templates, but what the
heck!! The ImageDrawers used are from various packages and the
MagicWB v2.0 package.
PS! The first 2 icon packages mention above can just be deleted!

INSTALLATION
Click on
'ClickForColors'
for the
NEW
MagicWB v2.0 palette.
Use a icon update program, MUI_IconUpdate or IconUpdate, which
preserves the tooltypes and position of the icon, to update your old
icons.
_____________________________________________________________________
NOTE
All the icons in this package are in 8 colors, 3 bitplanes.
MagicWB v2.0 have a demon that controls the icons (and patterns) so
that they have the correct colors. So if you use more than 8 colors
on your WB, the icon colors will not be fucked up! This makes
MagicWB v2.0 nearly as fast as the standard 4 color icons.
For you
not
using the MagicWB 2 demon
and
use more than 8 colors, can
fix the ugly looking icons by using the icon utility IconDepth v1.4
(

). But this will make the icons bigger (KB wise!)
and the Workbench much slower. So register
NOW!
MagicWB look best for screens sized 640x512 and above. Don't use it
with 640x256 screens, it's FUCKING ugly!
Icons are meant to replace the text in a GUI-Graphic User Interface,
so avoid using large fonts on the WB. XHelvetica 9 or 11 are big
enough for the WB.
_____________________________________________________________________
Welcome to Frustration Inn!
To Amiga Magazines:
Why can't you use 640x512+ screens with high quality fonts and WB2
colors when you have screenshots of serious applications. And stop
using those fucking ugly palettes.
Many of my PC user friends gets/has the impression that the Amiga
only uses
low-Res
screens, so that it just looks like a games
machine after all, and can't be taken seriously. And that really
pisses me off. Windows may look good, but it's crap. Workbench looks
crap (without MagicWB), but it's the best OS out there!
Take Amiga Computing: They use a mix between WB1.3 and WB2+ colors on
90% of their screenshots.
WHY?
It's suppose to be a magazine for
serious Amiga users, why not act like one? This also goes for you
other, English, Amiga magazines.
And why take consideration to WB1.3 users when developing serious
applications/PD-/Shareware utilities etc.? WB2, and now WB3.x, has
been a standard for 3-4 years now. WB1.3 users only use their Amigas
for games anyway. Fuck'em!
And now a couple of questions to Martin Huttenloher; What are you
gonna do with new icon that pops up when MS-DOS disks are inserted?
NewIcons has a hack for it! Has CBM fixed the Preset-icon bug in
WB3.1? How are the upgrade system working? How do the registered
users get notified of new versions? And when can we expect a new
MagicWB release?

This package is
FREEWARE
.
You are allowed to spread it all over the world using any storage
medium available, but you must spread the whole package.
Programmers & creators of PD-software are allowed to include single
icons of this package in their own package-distributions.

DISCLAIMER
I'll take no responsibility for you getting laughed at for using
these icons! Neither any damages caused to your beloved Amiga, your
red old Lada or your already poor health.
I also take no responsibility for any of the offensive text in this
readme file, as I live in a free country with the right to speak
freely.
;-)))
I've learned all the swear words from movies, so blame them! My
younger brother can also swear in English, but because of
censorship (fuck censorship!) he only says; *beep* you! or Go *beep*
a duck you mother*beep*er! So everytime he's angry at me, he goes
around beeping (you know, like a roundrunner!). BEEP-BEEP!
Think I drifted into a different area there! Now to something
serious.
Some PD-libraries
rip people off
by making their own disks
which includes a little utility/program that takes up 20% of the
disk and take £2 bloody pounds for it. Others make these theme
utility disks and take £5 pounds for 2 disks. Come on! PD is meant
to be free, you can only charge for the disk, copying charges and
postage. Maybe by cutting down on your advertisements expenses you
could cut the prize on the PD disks. You have these fancy
advertisements in every Amiga magazine every bleeding month with
every page costing hundreds of pounds. How can you afford it? When
you're selling programs that supposed to be none profitable?
Take one PD-library in Swindon, England, £4 for a degrader disk, £5
for MagicWB extras, £5 for a disk doubler, £6 for the Klondike AGA
cardgame... Need I say more? Rip off? I say YES!
>-(
Because of this I have to include this:
You aren't allowed to take more than £1,- (English pound) including
disk and copying cost, and you must include some other MagicWB icons/
patterns to fill up the disk by at least 90%.
