Thanks guys for your answers.

To tell you the truth, I installed NewIcons but on non-laced screen they don't look so nice. So I switched to an interlace mode (like I had some years ago). Anyway I will try GlowIcons too, they seem to be better-looking.

Not with Workbench 3.0. :-)


I created all my own icons and have disks full of them... Wouldn`t be without them. That is what makes the Amiga so wonderful, the customisation of the Workbench. And size is has no real limit. Why use someone else's when you can make your own. I digitise stuff and import the images into the icons... Fantastic.

IMHO, if you're not using any graphics card, the main question to answer before you go for any non-standard icon set is what resolution you are going to use. Remember that on AGA, the more colors you have, the slower the graphics are.

Therefore I would go for MagicWB, in 8 colors the WB is still snappy.

Same goes for Workbench images ... I use light blue text on black... Garnet is a favourite font. And 8 colour home made icons. You can make it all look sexy. I also use ToolsDaemon from the menu to launch stuff... My icons on the Workbench are scripts icons for networked machines on the system and the vast array of hard drive VOLS I have.

I liked the Vulcan Icons cus you linked them together to make a picture.

Those Glow Icons.. just appear as a tiny white square on my Amiga  :lol:

Saying all that I do have sexy Lara as an image on the 1200 tower. I edited the image to reduce colours.. Still looks good though. Image from the TopCow site...
