Improving WB3.1 look & feel
« on: April 20, 2009, 09:33:11 AM »
Hello,

I spent most of the weekend thinking on this. Realisticly  speaking it is impossible to improve WB3.1 (or later) look and feel on an A500+ (regardless of how much fast RAM it has or Processor type) ... unless one is ready to be happy with a little flickering, or having icons using more then 32 colours max right?

I am not saying this in anger or anything like that. I am just seeing what is available or not. If there is nothing I can improve then I am happy to stay with the standard look and feel on my A500+ with WB3.1 :)

Regards,
Sim085

try ClassicWB: even in 8 colors it looks better than stock, and is more functional


But wouldn't classic amiga also flicker on the real hardware? or?

And though they are expensive: a flickerfixer will help you enormously. You can display twice the amount of icons (so to speak) and with a modern screen (be it a TFT or a decent CRT) things look a lot crispier than with an aging 1084 monitor.
The only flicker fixer I found (not for sale) required a lot of wiring and soldering which is something I would like to avoid because of my no-skill in such an area. However I may put a thought in buying something like that if (1) it is available and (2) its price is reasonable.
