- MagicWB is a collection of icons and backdrops that conform to a single 8
- color palette intended to improve the look of the Workbench. In the shareware
- MagicWB 2.0 package, there are a couple of programs, one to lock the Workbench
- colors so the icons look right, and another to support Workbench backdrops
- under AmigaOS 2.x.
- If you're looking to improve the look of the Workbench, you should check
- out NewIcons, in addition to MagicWB. There's also a program on Aminet called
- MWB2NI which can convert MagicWB icons into NewIcon images, so they look right
- without the need to run the palette locking program.
