What is the best icon set to use on A2000 with 3.1

So what is the best icon library to use on an A2000 with OS3.1 with only 1mb chip and 2mb fast?

Thanks guys

Ok, so I've got Peter Ks icon set on my Amiga 2000 the instal notes are a bit cryptic so I copy the icon.library_6800 over to the Libs drawer what's next? Do I copy everything from the C drawer in his folder over to c on my Amiga?

Odly the Libs drawer on the Amiga does not have a "icon.library" in there? It has lots of other xxx.library icons

3.0/3.1 isn't that smart, so you need to force it to use the updated version on your disk by putting either the LoadModule or LoadResident command before SetPatch in your Startup-Sequence:

Code: [Select]


LoadResident >NIL: LIBS:icon.library REBOOT


Or the more full example, given in the docs:

Code: [Select]


Version >NIL: icon.library 46
If WARN
   If EXISTS LIBS:workbench.library
      LoadResident >NIL: LIBS:workbench.library
   EndIf
   LoadResident >NIL: LIBS:icon.library REBOOT
EndIf

SetPatch QUIET


You'd need to use Ed to edit one or the other of the above statements into your S:Startup-Sequence.

Ok, so backing this up just a little bit, I put the LoadResident >NIL: LIBS:icon.library REBOOT before set patch and now It does not load workbench and I get "LoadResident: unknown command"

[tonyvdb]

Ok, so where do I find and place the LoadResident too?
I guess my bigger question is where should the iconLib_46.4 folder be placed as nowhere in the documentation does it say where in the system folder this stuff should be installed.

Ok, got that right now and it's boots into workbench however there is no change at all in the icons? Maybe I should have just done the simple line
"LoadResident >NIL: LIBS:icon.library REBOOT"
Load time is longer so it must be doing the reboot as requested. I did the full version that's shown in the startup sequence.
I'm sorry for all the questions....

[tonyvdb]

 Are you still running stock 3.1 icons?

I'm feeling dumb here, yes stock 3.1 icons. That's what I want to change. I hate the default disk icon it uses and my RAM disk also just looks like a disk not the chip I see on my a4000

It says "icon.library 46.4"
(68000)

Update, got things working. is there a way to copy an icon that stays with the ram disk? after I reboot it does not stick.
