Is it possible to make Workbench 3.1 on an A1200 look as good as 3.1 on Amiga Forever 2009?
Thanks
Yes, certainly it is. Amiga Forever up to version 6 is based on Workbench 3.1 and looks just the same as current versions.
You need:
- set screenmode to 256 colors and preferably a mode with 1:1 aspect (e.g. Multiscan, DblPAL or the like).
- install GIF, PNG and JPEG datatypes
- get your favourite wallpaper and set it in wbpattern prefs
- install newicons (the program, not the icons)
- download your favourite icon set from Aminet and replace the standard icons by the downloaded ones. This is a lot of manual work.
- install Toolmanager and cusomize it.
That's what AF contains. In addition you might want to install VisualPrefs and some other patches which allow to change the appearance.
Bye,
Thomas
