Most of the Icons are self explanatory and have the Tool (or Project) that they
were designed for as a name (but you may use them for whatever you like). I've
created a lot of AmigaGuide icons in the standard proposed by @{"Roman Patzner" LINK "Card"}.
With the exception of the Babe icon, I've stuck with the standard size and
format for the icons, so everything should be in order.

You may need to modify the enclosed goods slightly to adapt them to your
environment (anything that I am currently aware of is explained below...feel
free to let me know of others).
The contents of the original archive are listed in the @{"Introduction" LINK "Intro"}.
The way I work the process is to use the WBPattern prefs and save a preset for
each picture I want to randomize (in my case the prefix is wbpattern@{b}X@{ub}.pre
- in which I select a background and window pattern which I like). Simply use
wbpattern to call that prefix (preceeded by FilePick or some other randomiser)
within tilde quotes (upper left keyboard) and followed by @{b}USE@{ub}. For example:
@{fg fill} prefs:wbpattern `c:FilePick prefs:presets/pattern/#?.pre` use@{fg text}
(This line is included in the @{"S drawer" LINK "S"} if you wish to paste it into your s-s.
And @{"FilePick" LINK "FP"} is included in the @{"C drawer" LINK "C"} of this archive).
I keep the patterns dir in the prefs drawer, however, feel free to put yours
wherever you like (but make sure to amend those changes in the startup).
Another way to accomplish all of the above is to register for MagicSelector by
yvind Falch" LINK "Thanks"}. Available on internet.
@{b}NOTE:@{ub} OS2.X users: you'll have to use NickPrefs (which you can get in the
MagicWorkBench archive) to display the backdrops, however, you can still
randomize them in the same manner as described above.
@{b}NOTE:@{ub} 4000 owners (maybe 1200?): you'll probably have to run the images
through DPaint or ADpro to remap the palette (I don't know why but the palette
doesn't show up properly?!? Anyone know why - maybe I was doing something
wrong!?).
@ENDNODE
@NODE "Interest" "For your interest..."
@{fg shine}For your interest...@{fg text}
The following material was created on a 14M A3000/030 with an OpalVision Board
(Centaur Software), DPaintIV (Electronic Arts), & Art Department Professional
(Elastic Reality).
Although I'm not the original creator of the characters which I draw on the
enclosed backgrounds, I DID labour over them for many hours (upto about 30
hours or more on pattern 9). Amy the Squirrel and the Clarissa Cat were created
by Eric Schwartz, Cool World's Holly Wood was created by ?????, and Bart
Simpson was created by Matt Groening...as well, I've drawn a lot of anime
characters which I am not the original creator of.
If you have the desire to create your own backgrounds and icons (which I
strongly encourage, so that I don't have to work so hard ;), here's how what
I do:
@{fg shine}The Color Backgrounds@{fg text}
i First I find a pic I like (go figure), scan it or digitize it (if it isn't
already an image), then load it into ADPro with the workbench palette locked
(assuming you are already running the proper palette (or you could load the
palette from one of my patterns). You should do this TWICE!: once with Floyd
dithering (or the algorithm of your choice) on, and then a second pass with
it off. The reason for the two passes is because some parts of the pick will
look good dithered, and others won't, so I pick pieces out of each to make
the final image. If you do not have ADPro...THEN BUY IT...well, you can
remap the image with the MWB palette right in DPaint...experiment for
yourself...
ii Next spend anywhere from a couple of days to a week or more fixing the
image up (hand antialiasing, dithering...). One tip: sometimes it's easiest
to just trace the outline of the pic in DPaint and then use the stencil to
wipe out the rest of the image. Now it's just like a paint by number! Use
the ranges tool to get the nice dithering effects. The magic wand tool in
OpalPaint also helps to get rid of a lot of color which are similar (thereby
allowing you to reduce the palette).
Also I've discovered that darkening the palette (especially the pink and
brown) will allow you to render some nice looking images with better skin
tones. For example, for the @{"MadokaPortrait.pat" LINK "SP"} I loaded and locked the MWB
palette into ADPro, darkened the brown and pink, and rendered the image (you
may need to mess with the colors a few times before you get the desired
look). Then I simply loaded the image into DPaint and loaded the orginal
palette back in (do not remap!).
@{b}NOTE:@{ub} The dithering and antialiasing can make all the difference in the world.
Although, you have to develop a knack for it and it is very tedious and
time consuming.
@{fg shine}The Grey-Scale Backgrounds@{fg text}
To make your own grey-scale images, just load your favorite picture into ADPro.
Run the Color-To-Grey operator. Set your screen-mode to whatever your workbench
is and a 4 color palette (make sure that dithering is envoked - Floyd works
well, and that the palette is sorted from Lightest to Darkest - this option is
in the Palette Requester in the Display Menu). Now render the screen. Edit the
palette (in the Display menu) as follows: copy the fourth color to the third
and then adjust the second color so that it is about midway between color 1 and
color 3 (which is the same as 4). So you now have a three color palette. Render
the image again.
Now, for the next step there are two ways to proceed (1) is probably only good
for experienced users and (2) is for anyone:
1) Now load the image into DPaint (or whatever) and remap the palette to the 3
grey colors of the MWB palette (you will need to swap the background grey
with the second color to remap (since in ADPro we picked sort from lightest
to darkest) and then swap them back and remap again). That's it, or...
2) Another approach (probably easier) is to use @{"PalPatch" LINK "PalPatch"} (PalettePatcher) which
was written by @{"Cl
o Saulnier" LINK "Thanks"} and is included in the @{"C directory" LINK "C"} (along with
its Guide file) of this archive. All you have to do is set your workbench to
the correct 3 grey colors from the MWB palette (sorted from lightest to
darkest with the darkest repeated twice - position 3 and 4). You do not have
to hit @{b}SAVE@{ub} in the palette requester, just @{b}USE@{ub} it. Read the PalPatch.guide
for info on how to use PalPatch.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, but it @{i}IS@{ui} quite tedious. Feel free to drop @{"me" LINK "Author"}
a line if you get stuck or can't uderstand what I've tried to explain here.
Also, I would appreciate it VERY much if you would send me any pictures you
make!
GOOD LUCK!!

Updated the guide file.
Added some more icons (the C drawer and Dog icon are ones I just fixed up -
someone else drew them originally. The DOpus5 drawer has been altered).
@{fg fill}Release 4:@{fg text}
This archive is sort of hard to keep a history on, as there can't really be any
"bugs". Everything in the archive is new. The most common suggestion I got from
the people who emailed me about MagicWBStuff3 was to include the backgrounds as
brushes so anyone could paste them on any size background and pattern of their
choice. Well, Mikael Berglund (d0hampe@dtek.chalmers.se) actually cut out all
of my old patterns for me as well as two of his own and mailed them to me!! So,
I antialiased all the edges and included them along with a new one (Bart).
I've also included some grey scale images (which still use the standard MWB
palette). I got this idea from @{"
yvind Falch" LINK "Thanks"} (who is also the author of Magic-
Selector). See @{"For your interest..." LINK "Interest"} to find out how to make your own.
There are a lot of AmigaGuide icons included which use the "new standard" icon
template developed by @{"Roman Patzner" LINK "Card"}.
Also, I'm now using @{"FilePick by Simon Brown" LINK "FP"} to randomize my patterns, samples,
etc. Thanx for allowing me to include Simes :)
And, there is a new template (I hope it is up to date), ....etc.

@NODE "MWB" "About MagicWB v2.0"
@{fg shine}MagicWB v2.0@{fg fill}
@{b}============@{ub}@{fg text}
The definitive WB-Enhancer no Amiga can do without. MagicWB is a full
replacement for the graphic user interface of the Workbench and has become
the standard on the Amiga.
MagicWB 2.0 is completely restructured on a new color-allocation scheme which
more than doubles the speed of the WB and reduces chip-consumption to only a
third compared with all previous versions and also features a highly improved
color palette. MWB 2.0 introduces a never-before-seen standard for over four
dozen of new image-drawers to achieve a more diversified look on your WB.
More icons, dock-brushes, a dozen of new patterns, fonts and a AA-support
complete this special product.
To get the 'real' look and feel of MagicWB, you should make sure that you:
have set the MagicWB-Palette. Do this by clicking on the 'ClickForColors'
icon.
have set the resolution of your Workbench to a aspect ratio near 3:4 like
640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768.
The demo-version can be found on Aminet biz/demo/MagicWB20d.lha.
