Sorry that it took so long after the "magical0" release for this archive
most of these icons were collecting electronic dust for some time but
I finally have a good account so I thought I'd better get it on Aminet fast.
The file "ILBM.ScreenShotPatches" shows
an example of how your wb could look like.

You are allowed to spread it all over the world using any storage
medium available, but you must spread the whole package.
Programmers & creators of PD-software are allowed to include single icons of
their program in this package in their own package-distributions.
No one is allowed to take more than
1,- (English pound) or the equivalent
including disk and copying cost, and you must include some other MagicWB
icons/patterns to fill up the disk by to a minimum of 90%.
Status: the icons are @{B}Freeware@{UB}
If anyone wants to use part of the icons for their creative moods
feel free to do so, I like to get more MagicWB icons :)
The two 32-color pictures included are made by myself and those are not
to be modified and/or re-distributed without my permission,
eg. if Trevor Morris or anyone else like to make an 8 color MWB
pattern out of it and place it on the net, I want to see the result
before I approve of it.

Some of the icons included are from Roman Patzner or others and
all I did was give it a grey background but with most I was more creative,
I especially like the way the MegaBall icon looks. :)
(I will register it as soon as I can afford it, Ed & Al Mackey, honest :) ).
Some of the icons were drawn or request (sorry that it took so long guys)
And please don't hesitate to send some ideas along because almost all
the programs I have, have a nice MWB icons.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "Credits"
Thanks to the following people:
o Martin 'XEN' Huttenloher for creating the 'Magic Workbench'
o Roman Patzner for his collections and thanks for the Data picture ;)
o Trevor "pattern9" Morris for his MWBStuff, keep making the Stuff :)
o and to all the other icon/pattern creators out there.

@NODE "Hints & Tips section"
For all of those who still get some of the patterns with
the wrong colors on the screen here is what you should do:
Take a snapshot from your WB screen with one of those handy grab programs.
If you don't have such a progam you'll have to do it @" the hard way. " LINK "HardWay"} :)
Load it into your favourite paint program, (you'd better have one :> )
now you've got the exact colors on the screen as your WB screen
save the palette for future use.
Load the screen size backgrounds as a picture,
load the palette and save the picture.
For the smaller patterns, load them as a picture,
load the palette, pick up the picture as a brush,
save the brush and you should have a correct looking brush.
@ENDNODE
@NODE "HardWay"
Write down all the colors with their RGB numbers, you can find them when
you start your Prefs/Palette program, and alter the colors in the paint
program accordingly.
