BetterWB - release 1.0

[Hattig]

Hi Gulliver, I was wondering if you liked the look of the TinyIcons Rebel and I are working on. They're smaller than the standard Workbench icons so take up less room on the disk. Try to ignore the window patterns if you don't like the dithering, but I assure you on a 1084 monitor or TV it looks fine.

I like the icons, they're cute. Also the font, although on a TV you might want to make each vertical 2 pixels wide rather than one (and the same for the gaps between verticals). That would also prevent some aliasing issues with the vertical pinstripe patterns you're using to get some subtle shades - could you dither, um, XXX rather than | | | perhaps?

When I get an FPGAArcade I will happily sit there and tweak the font if you like, I used to love spending hours doing bitmaps fonts.

Ah, well if you've tried then that's cool.

I like the idea of custom characters for icons in a colour font. I presume it's 4 colours, clear/white/black/grey? Maybe some room for a little anti-aliasing between the white text and black drop shadow then. It's been a while since I played with colour fonts though...
