This was my OS3.5 based workbench in 2003, running on BlizzardPPC/BVision

Stock 3.5 icons.

This was it almost exactly one year later, running a then beta version of OS4. Same machine:

Yes, I know the clock was screwy in that shot. I'd reflashed my Blizzard and didn't even notice the fact it was set grossly in the future until afterwards :)

This was it running 3.9 just last year sometime. The image was actually taken to show MidiIn running, rather than 3.9 itself:

Not a lot of difference to the 3.5 other than the dock and the fact I decided to drop a resolution. The old eyes aren't what they once were ;)

I don't have a tendency to go for fussy backdrops. Solid colours, gradients, simple(ish) designs or scenery. Occasionally the odd game-related bit of artwork :)

If you use 3.1 and newicons there is a setting in in newicons prefs to use fast ram.


^ This. Also, FBlit is a must-have.

@Karlos I didn't try that one but I tried some others and they didn't work so I gave up, but will try that one later..


I'd be surprised if it didn't work, was always the one I relied on until I got an RTG card and used cybergrab and later sgrab.

I have a very pure environment on my main maschine.

Audrey Hepburn, eh? From the days when women weren't afraid to have eyebrows :)

Try this one...
