Birdie textures 16 colours for perfect palette

[XDelusion]

Aghh, now I see what I was missing. Thankx a ton Cammy!

The palette plus skins are just awesome and work like a charm!



I can't wait for the future icons uploads.

Btw... I just noticed the screen representation on 2 icons!!!
Isn't the one a wb screen with the classic BoingRed wallpaper and the other a screen with Lotus on it?
Pure awesomeness!!! \o/

[Cammy]

Yeah, that's right. There's also one for the Mac drive that has the blue smiley face logo on it, I'll have to take some more screenshots. My favourites are the Spare Desk, CD32 and Rocket Tool icon (which I'm writing a GUI for).

Hey guys. I've just finished fixing up my Silver skins, and also pixelled a whole set of all-new Silver-themed MUI images to go with them. To use the MUI images, extract the archive and copy the contents of the drawers into the corresponding drawers in the main MUI drawer. There is a Preset file you can call to quickly change all the images to the new Silver ones, but you would be best to apply it over each gadget rather than globally, or else it might change all your other MUI settings (spacing, fonts, patterns). To do this, go through each page of the MUI settings and hover over the top of the gadget you want to change and select Silver from the Presets menu that pops up while holding the right mouse button down. Press the Test button and see if you like it, and Save it if you do.

I hope this stuff is of use to someone.

(If you already use the Silver skins, download these and overwrite the old ones. You'll need to disable VisualPrefs and Birdie before you overwrite the images if they're in use though.)

Pure awesomeness Rebel mate. You're the Ambassador of Kwan

Can't wait for some future icons to match the perfect set. Btw are the iBrowse icons available anywhere?

[Rebel-CD32]

No worries mate, I'm glad to be of service.

It may take a while to get a decent amount of icons ready, I haven't done much more than what's in the preview image way up above in the thread. Perhaps things will go a little quicker if they ever get that Amiga project development forum running.

Until then, here are some IBrowse Navigation and Status images to try out. I just finished them up:

Hope they're alright.

I took a screenshot of Amiga.org through IBrowse running on my A600 showing Rebel's new images:



And another screenshot of AmigaWorld:

I think a version of this theme might come handy for the 68k version of AROS; i know that lately Tony Wilen is busy on make the AGA screens work properly and did complain about the fact that actual AROS themes do not scale good...

Hi Cammy and Rebel,

Just dusted of my Amiga and tried your skins. They are very nice indeed. First had some trouble with the Birdie program crashing but by placing a the and of the startup-sequence its seems to work.

Just have an issue with outline fonts. They are displayed blue instead of white and black when installing the skins (the Birdie skin distorts the icon font).
Probably I'm doing something wrong?
What should I do (I have fullpallete with your palette installed)?

Regards,

Here's a preview of the window theme, icons and some skin graphics for a Workbench game that I'm working on.

Hmm, these look great. I prefer this style to the Mason icons that are popular on OS4. I made a few icons myself, but I never got around to a full set and my style always changed too much from icon to icon.

Keep up the good work!
