 'XEN' did not do (or release) anything for a long time...
 but everyone is waiting for a 16 color MagicWB - aren't we?

 - creating Icons would be much easier (you can convert pics using tools like
   HAMLab, ADPro,...)
 - great background pics are possible
 - use converted NewIcons (but they are ugly anyway :->
 - ...
   
 So here is my suggestion to expand the existing MWB colors:

 color#    red    green   blue                 _
   0       149     149    149    grey           |

 · Col# 8 is the 'Bluebox' color for MagicCopper (to stay compatibel)
 · Col# 9 is needed to bridge the gap between blue and black
 · Col#10: everyone knows that green was missing...but it don't has to be too
            intense!
 · Col#11: same as #10
 · Col#12-14: - send comments! 
 · Col#15: Red is the last color, because it is taken for the cursor.

 Remember: This is ONLY a suggestion, comments, critics are welcome.


 Steps to install them on your system (if you like):

  1. Change your screenmode to 16 colors.
  2. Load the User-Startup into your editor and change the MagicWB-Daemon to:
     Run >NIL: C:MagicWB-Demon 4,123,123,123 5,175,175,175 6,170,144,124
               7,255,169,151 8,0,0,255 9,40,62,91 10,96,128,96 11,226,209,119
  3. Do the same with your Startup-Sequence
  4. Load Prefs/Palette and change the last four colors to 255,212,203;
     122,96,72; 210,210,210; 229,93,93

 · MUI applications look strange without re-arranging the brush colors.
