In my case it was part of a Visual Prefs theme (Paper Blue). I don't know the details, but I'm sure there are other ways how to get the BB there.

The installations you see most of the times involve installing AfA OS.
You need an RTG card for that though.

Other methods are with the Visual Prefs that koshman told earlier :)

I have a Picasso IV, so i think it should do the trick for AFA no?

Install this: http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/AmiBoing

AmiBoing, adds a boing ball to the title, ran "it back in the day"



This one is a classic to, http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/AmiLogo

No need for VisualPrefs (although its great).

That one's nice as it will actually add an animated boing ball to the tilte bar.

There is another package on aminet for the animated one, or is it this one? (forgot).

But its a simple icon so you can customize it how you want which is cool.
