- Welcome to ABC-PATTERNS !!!
-
- ® TM
- ABC-PATTERNS is a pattern-collection for use with the Amiga Workbench.
-
- ABC-PATTERNS requires Workbench 2.0 or higher!
-
- The patterns are designed for ...
- - a proportional ScreenMode (640x512, for example) with square pixels
- - an 8-color Workbench Screen (3 bitplanes)
- - colors similar to the colors of "MagicWB" (© 1993 by Martin Huttenloher)
-
- I prefer a more intensive blue (color 3) and red (color 7). You can see
- my Workbench colors by double-clicking "ABC-Colors". I also included
- "ABC-Screen" (Hires interlaced) to make testing easier.
-
-
- HOW TO USE:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- For Workbench 3.x ...
-
- You can copy your favorite ABC-PATTERNS to your Workbench-Disk and select
- them as backgrounds for the Workbench Screen & Windows in the programme
- WBPattern. It is located in the Prefs-Drawer of Workbench 3.x.
- BEFORE you try to load a pattern you should change the colors of your
- Workbench Screen with ABC-Colors! To save the colors permanently use
- "Palette" in the same Drawer.
- THEN you can open WBPattern, choose the location for the pattern (Workbench,
- Windows or Screen) and the type "Picture". Now click on the gadget
- "Select Picture" and select a pattern.
-
- For Workbench 2.x ...
-
- Additional to the above instructions, Workbench 2.x users have to
-
- - install `NickPrefs` (© by Nicola Salmoria)
- - re-color the patterns with a paint program (like "DPaint") to the
- Workbench-Colors because of the different behaviour of Workbench 2.x.
- Just choose a proportional ScreenMode, import the Workbench-colors,
- load the pattern as a "brush" and re-color it. Then save the brush
- with a new name.
-
-
- PATTERNS - a short history:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Version 1.0 (14.07.1994)
- -------------------------
- I created four types of patterns:
-
- The AmigaAmiga-Patterns consist of two Amiga plates,
- the Checkmark- Patterns consist of checkmarks (the famous Amiga symbol),
- the AmigaCheck-Patterns is a mixture of both and
- the AmigaBig - Patterns is my favourite one, it has a special big format.
-
- The name "ABC-PATTERNS" is a hint on the filenames of the patterns:
-
- The A-Series has a plain background.
- The B-Series has a rough background.
- The C-Series has a wavy background.
-
- The number in the filename is the number of the plate-pattern. Some files
- have an additional "B", which corresponds to the brown Amiga letters.
- I hope this helps you in finding your favourite patterns.
-
- I also included the background patterns Ground.rough and Ground.wavy.
-
- Version 1.1 (04.10.1994)
- -------------------------
- This is an update to the first release. It contains 111 new patterns:
-
- The D-Series has a background with a diagonal matrix.
- The E-Series has a background with a vertical matrix.
- The F-Series has a background with a combined (d & v) matrix.
-
- Again I included the backgrounds: Ground.D, Ground.E and Ground.F.

- want to know whether anyone likes them, or not.
