If you have an A1200, then you'll have lots more colours available to make a much better screenshot than mine.

and as for your SShot. WOAH. i honestly would have never believed you could do that with WB 3.1 - are all those colour changed etc done in preferences or what?


WB 3.1 can be made to look much better than that. On an A500 I'm limited to 16 colours and a small screen. There are some amazing WB 3.1 screenshots from people lucky enough to have graphics cards.

Here's what you need to make WB 3.1 look great:
VisualPrefs - change look of windows/gadgets/buttons
NewIcons - remove ugly boxes around icons
LoadCMAP - WB colour locking
Good fonts & "FF" to remove ugly Topaz
(Optional - MagicMenu, TitleShadow, Birdie)

Then of course, you need good icons (Iconian to edit), good images for buttons/backgrounds (PPaint to edit & remap colours).
