I was just making a hard drive image for my Minimig Core on the Chameleon 64.
I put a fresh install of WB 3.1 and the newest distro of BetterWB on it. I wanted to put a replacment Icon package on the image. I was thinking either MUI or NewIcons. However, the MUI 3.8a on aminet seems to be only an update. Where can you get a full distribution?
Also are there any better icon replacments, what are peoples opinions?

Taste is personal, so there is no 'best' IMO. That said, MagicWB of course =).

Oh yeah! I forgot about MagicWB. I think last time I used that was almost 20 years ago.

MUI isn't a replacement icon set, however you still need it to run a lot of programs so go ahead and put that on there, along with MagicWB . The only other choices beyond that (NewIcons, GlowIcons, Ken's Icons, etc.) require a more souped up system.
Also don't forget Peter K.'s icon.library! ;)

They're great, if you like your system to look like it's still 1990. ;)

...which is exactly what an Amiga desktop should look like! :)

I would wonder how the MasonIcons would look on a low-end machine?
Anyway, I'd vote for an old fave of mine: AristIcons set. I used them on my old A3000 in the late 90's:

You guys are bringing this all back to my memory.
I had an A500, a GVP A500HD+ with 8 megs of memory. I put MagicWB on it and if memory serves a eval copy of MUI was part of the installer.
As for a miminig core on the chameleon 64 should be fast enough for NewIcons, etc. Has anyone tried either on a miming or chameleon 64? any issues?

AristIcons. mmm I have never heard of them. What libraries do they use?

A quick search on Aminet found this:

You'd probably need to install either the NewIcons tools or the Peter K. icon.library to take best advantage of these.
Also if you haven't seen it already, this blog has some good tips for sprucing up an old Workbench:
