- short: Some new Icons for MagicWB
- type: wb/misc
- uploader: s_walter@irav1.ira.uka.de (Thomas Baetzler)
-
- I've fallen in love again --- with my Workbench B^))
-
- Ever since I got my Picasso II graphics board, I was unsatisfied with
- the way my Workbench looked. Those standard icons are just so boooring...
-
- And then came MagicWB, and changed everything. You propably know the
- feeling, if only from those days when you go outside on a nice summer day
- and discover how beautiful life really is *:o
-
- Anyways, after installing MagicWB I disliked my old icons even more.
- Up to the point that I started to fiddle around with the existing material
- to produce something more in line with the new 'magic' look of my system.
-
- And this is the result. Nothing really original, since I just took a
- set of MagicWB icons, another set of my old icons and stir-fried them using
- Deluxe Paint. Talented people could propably come up with much better
- icons, but then I never claimed to be talented B^)
-
- I'm uploading this to AmiNet to encourage those really talented people
- out there (and I mean YOU!) to share their efforts with us. Scratch
- together what you have, put it in an archive, and beam it up! Keep those
- nice icons coming and coming and coming... Eventually I hope there will be
- a large pool of Icons to choose from so that your (and my) Workbench will
- never ever again have to look just like out of the box.
-
- A word of thanks must go to Commodore for their fantastically priced
- Productivity Pack that enabled me to buy Deluxe Paint IV for an affordable
- price. I just love it --- even if I strongly feel that somebody should
- muster the courage to tell those guys at Electronic Arts that there have
- been rumours that there is some kind of nice built-in file requester in
- Kickstart 2.0 and above. WE WANT A DeLUXE PAINT WITH ASL FILE REQUESTER!!!
- ( if only to patch that one over to MFR }:P )
-
- A hug to the guy that made MagicWB --- just great, and sure, you'll get
- your money. (Grmblfx. *shareware icons* What a concept! Maybe I should
- make this readme shareware, too, and get rich in the process. And just be
- careful not to put this on CDROM, or else I'll sue, and you won't be able
- to afford bus money anymore... hehe, that's Guardian's fave phrase, and I
- just love it...)
-
- Just in case the above confused you, I strongly encourage you to put
- this archive wherever you want, especially on a CDROM. Which reminds me of
- thanking Walnut Creek (especially Jack Velte) and the AmiNet Team for
- bringing us the AmiNet CDROM.
-
- Another hug goes to Zoe, the #Amiga mascot, and may you catch many rats
- and mice in the year to come! And don't forget to leave them in Andrew's
- bed! }:))

- Sikrit Messitsch tu Kai '£Æ¬[3$¬[ |«3\X/£ 3£]¬[3 WÆ®3Z ÐØØÐ':
- We want a lamer mode commodity! I'm sure you could patch it in someplace }:))
-
- Hey, you're not really reading all that bullsh*t, aren't you?
-
- I won't mention Guardian personally right here in the Greetings List,
- since I intend to do away with him via the famous 'hi to all fellow IRCers'
- phrase and I will refrain from reminding him that he missed the party of
- his life. Hell, it might've even been the business opportunity of his
- life! But then I guess he doesn't want to sell his posters after all.
- (Uh, I better stop this, or I'll never get my PJ's back again...)
-
- A pat on the back to Chris the Prok Product Deity, for a very curageous
- 'taunt taunt taunt'. You do know, "Don't TAUNT Fuzzy Ball'. :-)
-
- Actually I'm not writing this for you --- that is, if you're not Dave
- Smith who professes to love those long rambling and never-ending readme
- files. Dave, this is my opportunity to cry out for a new release of 'Act
- Of War', or do you plan to sell it commercially via Psygnosis? In the
- latter case I strongly hope to receive a hand-signed review copy from you!
- Anyways, if you get around to it, you might aswell compile the old code
- with a newer AMOS... who knows, maybe the game will profit from it.
-
- Mr. Paranoia, don't be alarmed. We're not talking about you behind
- your back. (Gee! I knew you *were* paranoid!) (Gosh, this will get me a
- zillion flames from all the guys and gals I've ever met. Or is this
- estimate overly optimistic?)
-
- By the way, does anybody know why C='s 2060 is only good for rigging up
- big notworks? Or do I really need an active hub to connect more than three
- Amigas to an ArcNet? Removing a terminator to get a fourth Amiga in the
- network can't be the final wisdom. (Yeah, it's 42, we all know *that*)
-
- 'Ramble On!' Actually, that's what's playing right now! k3wl record,
- that, if you get my drift... hehehe... But I'm lying again, it's just
- that fantastic DeliTracker (Many Thanks Deli!) playing a couple of my fave
- mods, like 'Night in Tunesia', 'Bombastic Jazz' and 'I don't care'. (Yes,
- that's a vote for the mod charts, if anybody could be so kind and enter it)
-
- A serious hi to Dan 'BlÆZ3MØNG3® ÐØØÐ', or was it Marc? Anyways, I'm
- still Thomas and not Tobias }:)) (No offense expressed or implied!) I
- promise to send in the review of you-know-what-I'm-talking-about, only I'm
- having serious trouble to get it to work properly and now I'm unsure as how
- to rate it. Maybe I'll move it over to the back burner and do a review of
- my new 2 meg Picasso when it finally arrives.
-
- But I better put a stop to this, after all I still have to upload it
- before I change my mind and replace it with a nice & practical oneline
- description, and anyways I still have to catch a train, and things, mumble.
- (I really *have* to catch that train, my SO's expecting me, and you know
- how p*ssed they get when you keep them waiting. Doesn't understand what I
- see in this machine, anyways. So I'll get a life just before everybody else
- tells me to so.)

- You could even 'spin, fold or mutilate' it. See for yourself if it will do
- you any good. Not that it would hurt my feelings. Not at all. Believe it.)
