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.)

(Well, you're through. Do with it what you like. I'm not to be bothered.
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.)
