Do you want a "total" desk top look which incorporates the best of all available icons and templates, and two of the best utilities. Well, I cannot promise you quite that as it will very much depend on individual taste. However!
I found that I could not stand the sight of some of the standard Acorn icons which are corny and crude (which remain unchanged in !NewLook) and so I altered my own desktop to incorporate those which I liked best, which were collected from several sources, mainly and especially Ting Zwei Kuei, (to whom much thanks). Many are "as is" and also many have been slightly tweeked.
!NewLook.
!NewLook 22Sprites, 22Icons3D and Tools3D files have each been altered.
Tools3D press tools have been centered and the scroll bar press in effect has been removed. The original press tools looked quite bizarre and only "broken" sliders press in, also they no longer cause flickering.
File icons have not been replaced as this starts to bite into memory rather a lot, but a Sprites22 file of file icons is included.
The changes to 22Sprites and 22Icons3D are fairly obvious.
Sprite files are included for !Boot, !System, !Fonts, !Printers, !Scrap and !Ovation.
ROMApps3D
If you wish this can be REM'd out and replaced with NewResourc (which replaces all Resources template files with templates culled, and modified slightly, from Acorn, Doggysoft and Ting Zwei Kuei to whom, again, much thanks. These templates have been altered to gain uniformity, as far as is possible). NewResourc could either go in !NewLook (replacing ROMApps3D) or in your !System Modules folder. NewResourc assembles together the best looking individual sprites and template files available. To be honest I could not get 3D templates to work properly in the !Paint Toolwindow, but these are included separately if someone else CAN get them to work.
!FreeMem
Very neat and does not bite into memory very much.
!AppDock2
Just THE best application launcher. It is unobtrusive, gets on with it's job without fuss and with no unexpected hiccups.
HINT1
If you load several applications all assigned with the same press key then they can all be launched simultaneously with that one press key.
HINT2
If you use !HomeAcc (Minerva) then first, copy !HomeAcc into the application folder !Finances together with your <My_File>. Next, load !Finances into !AppDock and assign a press key. When you use this press key !HomeAcc will be launched already loaded with <My_File> also the Finances folder will be opened out on the desktop.
Application folders
Various application folders are included on this disk. They avoid complex programs and can easily be altered if you wish.
I hope that you will find that this collection of sprites, icons, templates and whatever works together to give a pleasing, consistent, 3D desktop.
