Long Description

Short: The ultimate WB 3 icon+backdrop package?
Author: Per Espen Hagen (peh@ffi.no)
Uploader: Per Espen Hagen (peh@ffi.no)
Type: pix/icon
Tired of the ultra-boring default Workbench look? Unhappy with the
uniform, colourless MagicWB look? Think those NewIcons are too slow and
too much inspired by other platforms? Want to make your Workbench look
prettier and more colourful, but still have that undefinable "Amiga look"?
If so, then ColourWB might be for you.
What is it?
~~~~~~~~~~~
ColourWB consists of:
- a colour scheme, using up to 12 pens
- some tasteful backdrops, best suited for an 800x600 Workbench
- a large set of default icons, for use with e.g. DefIcons (distributed
together with, but not dependent on NewIcons)
- replacement icons for many Workbench programs
- a set of ToolManager dock icons
- a Helvetica-like fixed width font in 5 point sizes (8,9,10,11,13)
- a *readable* 9-point proportional icon font
I have also included a few utilities. I don't believe in reinventing the
wheel, so these are grabbed from other freely distributable packages:
- ProcurePens (by Joseph Luk, documentation included)
- Random (by Martin Scott, documentation included)
I would have liked to include DefIcons and CreateDefIcon too, but you'll
have to get them from aminet:util/wb/NewIcons.lha if you want them.
Apart from ProcurePens, all parts of this package were created by myself,
although I admit to having been inspired by Tom Ekstr÷m's "IconPack", and
also other people for one or two icons.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although many parts of this package can be used on any Amiga, Workbench 3.x
and AGA or better would be strongly recommended. Specifically,
- most of the backdrops require a screen with at least 32 colours for best
results. I.e., AmigaOS 3.0+ and AGA or a 3rd party gfx card
If you want a preview before downloading the archive, have a look at the
snapshots of my Workbench screen in aminet:pix/wb/MyBench.lha.
Have fun,
Per Espen Hagen
