'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 |
1 0 0 0 black |_ original Amiga colors
2 255 255 255 white |
3 59 103 162 blue _|
4 123 123 123 dark grey |
5 175 175 175 bright grey |_ 4 MagicWB colors by XEN
6 170 144 124 brown |
7 255 169 151 kind of pink _|
8 0 0 255 max.blue |
9 40 62 91 anthrazit |
10 96 128 96 green |
11 226 209 119 yellow |_ 8 new colors
12 255 212 203 bright pink |
13 122 96 72 dark brown |
14 210 210 210 dirty white |
15 229 93 93 red _|

· 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.
