WB 3.x uglier than WB1.x?

[Nostalgiac]

I'm just wondering if I'm alone in thinking this, and perhaps it has to do with that I started on an A500 and a long time later got an A1200, but I think the default look for Workbench (say 1.2 or 1.3) looks better than WB 3.x.

For me it's the drab grey background and almost monochrome look to WB3.x by default, whereas the colour scheme picked for WB1.x looks quite cheerful.

weirdos have a right to life as well ;-)

Slightly off-topic, but since someone else mentioned WB2.x, I was wondering something.
I used that OS for a very brief time, but recall the stopwatch/busy pointer being animated.
Was that an add-on or a feature of the OS?

It's a software hack. http://aminet.net/search?query=animated+busy+pointer

I used to play around 1.3 color schemes to look like the c64's screen with all the bright and dark blues one time. It didn't worked for me(ugly) but the All back,grey and white does the job, and added an star field screen(only works with wb1.3 and 2.x). Also, I've edited the mouse to look like the rear of the 'ST-Enterprise', but it made it look more like the devil. :lol:
