What is your Amiga's current backdrop pic and icons?
« on: November 30, 2010, 10:39:12 AM »
Hi Guys,

I'm interested to see what you see when your Amiga(s) finish booting?

Here's what I currently see on the 3 Amiga's I have set up for daily use :)

Thanks,

I usually stick with the standard 3.9 icons and one of the backdrops 3.9 comes with.

Standard 3.9 icons, no backdrop on my A1200. Anything to lower the strain on AGA. :-)
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200

Custom drawn icons on 128 colour screen for my main Amiga OS3.5 (can't put a pic here as this sites PG and my backdrops XXX).

On my other Amiga's mostly running at 16 Colours, a mixture of custom drawn & standard 3.1 icons and various background patterns randomly selected at each boot... :)

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 :)

Stock 3.1 icons and a low colour background picture. A maximum of 16 colours in the workbench.

I had Vanille from FF13, but then I sold the A4000 cause 400$ was alot cooler than firing that thing up to play games I already own for Sega and stuff.
I am a negative, rude, prick.

Here are my setups:

My A600, with Apollo 620 which is running basic Classic Workbench 68k setup



My A1200 Desktop (Blizzard 1230) Classic Workbench ADV SP



My A1200T, 060/PPC/Mediator/Voodoo5 This has a few setups...

Amigasys4AGA



Classic Workbench P96 (the WinUAE version setup for real Amiga)



And Stock 0S3.9 with WarpOS/Warp3D as this is the best way I found to get all the WOS/Warp3D Games to work :afro:



Lastly my A4000, this has a PicassoIV and is running Classic Workbenc OS3.9  (Yes you guessed it I'm a big fan of Classic Workbench) :banana:

This is my A600's Workbench background and icons. It's only 4-colours and not using any extra patches, just personalised the standard preferences and edited the icons.



This is how it looks on my A600, the screen turned out very glary so it doesn't look as nice as it does in real life. My A600 is kept clean and dust-free by this awesome dust cover given to me by my good friend fitzsteve! :) (Thank you again for the lovely gift, Steve!)



Oh, and behind the A600 and monitor you can see my A1600 netbook, which is connected to the monitor's VGA port while the A600 is connected through S-Video, so I can switch between OS3.1 and Aros without moving away. While the PCMCIA SRAM card is plugged in, I can use the Serial Null-modem cable connected to a USB adapter in the netbook to go online (well that's the plan, just need to finish setting it up) so I can go online with 4MB of RAM instead of just 2MB when I use the PCMCIA Ethernet card. The A600 is faster with the SRAM too.

My screen is GREY! set off by a really nice accent of GREY! Not happy with it though, cause the window borders are a plain blue, and not GREY! A work in progress...
