Title: Any Idea What This is ?
Post by: polyp2000 on December 20, 2012, 09:45:37 AM

In the screnshot it shows Workbench 1.2 with different colorscheme and window border icons.

Appears to be some sort of app, there's two auctions running.

As a guess RD2 does something/makes a RAM disk?

"RIGHTEDUSHESS" I think that's a typo and they mean Righteousness... which sometimes is used instead of the word awesome :-) Actually it's the name of the app going by the screenshot :-)

The colours can be changed with the Preferences program and there were countless screen hacks for changing the intuition gadgets back in the 1.3 days. Wouldn't know what the name of this one was though. Perhaps NewLook or something like that?

Boot a bunch of old 80s European PD disks on a 1.x machine/emulator and you will no doubt eventually find it. :-)
