Here is a picture of my desktop.

I need ideas to make it look nicer. The resolution is PAL Hi-Res 640x256 @ 64 colors. The display is an old(ish) 20" LCD TV and connected via scart. The TV does NOT flickerfix.

If i go any higher in resolution i will get flicker, so any higher is out of the question.

Maybe when the Indivision AGA MKII comes out and if i have money i'll buy one but till then i would like to make my workbench look nicer with the hardware i have.

A1200 060/50, 64MB fast and OS3.9

This is my minimig 1.1's dedktop. I'm kind of limited by an 68000 and ECS..

I'm running BetterWB, 724x283-16color overscan, FullPallette(Cammy and Rebel's palette) PowerWindows, and I converted the background pic with Hamlab+

I stretched the pic vertically a bit so it would look more like it does on my widescreen monitor.

With that 1200 you could run VisualPrefs and Birdie to really dress up WB.

I'm also looking for something that can add a boing ball or amiga tick logo to the status bar at the top.


Look at Visual Prefs to do what you want, but I think adding anything to the status bar is going to look crappy unless you run in multiscan or interlace.

as far as the background image, I just download and re-size/crop/edit the picture using photoshop 7.0 and then send it to my minimig where I convert it to IFF and my WB 16 color palette using Hamlab+.
