Half height icon sets for lo-res Workbench?
« on: January 28, 2013, 07:00:16 PM »
Hi,

I was looking at the ClassicWB website and it seems that they use a version of MagicWB that is half-height - so that the icons don't look stretched out vertically if you are using a lo-res Workbench Screen (i.e. 640 x 240).

I am going to be setting up a 68000 Amiga 500 soon and will not be using an interlace Workbench, but rather a non-interlace screen, so I am keen to know about icon sets that an ECS 68000 Amiga can handle that also look good at lo-res.

Does anyone know where to get this lo-res MagicWB icon set, or any other ones that look good on a lo-res Workbench screen?

I already have the MagicWB installation archive somewhere - although I haven't used MagicWB for many years.  Is the half-height icon set included in that archive, or was it a custom job?

Thanks mfilos,

That's what I was looking for.  Now, I wonder.  Do you actually have to install MagicWB via the installation package in order to use these icons?

How do you make these icons the default ones for Workbench (i.e. so when you create a new drawer, it used the Small MagicWB icons instead of the default Workbench one)?

I'm thinking that if I don't have to install the actual MagicWB installation package (with MUI and all that), only the icons, then it would save a little RAM and maybe avoid any slowdown on a 68000.
