Title: Best iconset for '030/RTG + WB3.9
Post by: it290 on February 12, 2005, 07:35:59 PM

Okay, so I've been messing around with my new Amiga, and although I like the WB3.9 color icons, they are far too slow to use normally, and the 4 color versions are just ugly.  What iconset would you people recommend for the best tradeoff of speed/aesthetics for such a machine?

You might be able to speed them up...
In the Workbench prefs program, set the icon quality to 'Bad' and set the images to use 'Other memory'

Already did that, it's still dog slow.

Hmmm... I never really noticed any speed issues with the GlowIcons. Try adding more buffers to your hard drive.

it290:

You could try the MagicWB style icons, they load _much_ faster than GlowIcons. IMHO, GlowIcons loads way too slow even on a 060 machine with uwscsi disk etc.

What about newicons?

I currently use in my 2k 030 RTG a iconset called ProLiteicons, available in aminet, which are really lovely.

My FTP 2k is not going to crush any world record in icon displying nor nothing, but I think theyre fast and cool enough.

BTW, does anyone know if there is more ProLite icons like available elsewhere?
