> 2.2 The Graphical User Interface
> ================================
>
> Die standardmäßig mitgelieferte Oberfläche "Workbench" ist nur die
> Grundlage zum Aufbau einer guten, angenehmen Oberfläche.

> Zu diesem Zweck gibt es zahlreiche Tools, die den Anwendern das
> Leben erleichtern. Einige von diesem findet man auf dem Aminet in den
> Verzeichnissen `util/#?/'.

> 2.3 What is MUI?
> ================
>
> MUI is a set of shared libraries which are used to build a
> comfortable GUI (`Graphical user interface'). The general idea of MUI
> is that the programmer determines only the logical structure of the GUI
> and the look (Font, Size, Windows on Workbench, Public Screen, own
> Screen, ...) is determined by the user only. From the programmers point
> of view using MUI is simpler than `gadtools.library' but much more
> powerful. On the other hand MUI interfaces are slower than
> GadTools-Interfaces, especially on old 68000 machines.

> 2.3.1 Icon collections and Backgrounds
> --------------------------------------
>
> The standard icons aren't beautiful, indeed. But there do exist
> some beautiful icon collections. I know of `MagicWB' and `NewIcons'.
>
> `MagicWB' is Shareware. The icons are drawn beautiful in pastel with
> every known trick. You also get a lot of good backgrounds which
> beautify workbench windows and MUI programs. Fine and good readable
> fonts replace the clumsy topaz8 font. You also get good icons for the
> ToolManager. You can find a test version of MagicWB on Aminet.
>
> `NewIcons' is Freeware. The icons do have relative intensive colors
> and are drawn as three dimensional objects floating slanted in space.
> You can find NewIcons on Aminet, `util/wb/NewIcons.lha'.

< MUI is a set of shared libraries which are used to build a

< and the look (Font, Size, Windows on Workbench, Public Screen, own
< Screen, ...) is determined by the user only. From the programmers point
< of view using MUI is simpler than `gadtools.library' but much more
< powerful. On the other hand MUI interfaces are slower than
< GadTools-Interfaces, especially on old 68000 machines.

< MUI is found in two archives, one for developers only and one for
