- INTRODUCTION
-
-
-
- This is the 3rd MagicWB (© Martin Huttenloher) package from me, Jan-
- Tore Eliassen. The icons has been worked on and off for the last 5-6
- months. I've have stolen lot of ideas from most of the MagicWB
- packages out there (huh-huh, cool!). Hope you don't mind! I'm not
- that good with mixing colors and creating something from scratch you
- know! :-(
-
- Anyway, hope you like these icons, fartknockers! ;-)

- CONTENTS
-
-
-
- This package contains some 190 MagicWB icons, drawers and dock-
- brushes. Sorry, but because of the amount of icons, no detailed
- description of the icons are available.
-
- Many of the icons in this package are old icons from the
- first 2 releases, JTEMWB1.LhA & JTEMWB2.LhA, which I've updated to
- MagicWB v2.0 templates and colors.
-
- There are also a lot of new icons, some ImageDrawers for locale files
- and a few ToolManager (© Stefan Becker) dock-brushes.
-
- A couple of the icons don't use the standard templates, but what the
- heck!! The ImageDrawers used are from various packages and the
- MagicWB v2.0 package.
-
- PS! The first 2 icon packages mention above can just be deleted!
-

-
- INSTALLATION
-
-
-
- Click on 'ClickForColors' for the NEW MagicWB v2.0 palette.
-
- Use a icon update program, MUI_IconUpdate or IconUpdate, which
- preserves the tooltypes and position of the icon, to update your old
- icons.
-
-

-
- NOTE
-
-
-
- All the icons in this package are in 8 colors, 3 bitplanes.
-
- MagicWB v2.0 have a demon that controls the icons (and patterns) so
- that they have the correct colors. So if you use more than 8 colors
- on your WB, the icon colors will not be fucked up! This makes
- MagicWB v2.0 nearly as fast as the standard 4 color icons.
-
- For you not using the MagicWB 2 demon and use more than 8 colors, can
- fix the ugly looking icons by using the icon utility IconDepth v1.4
- (© Bjørnar Henden). But this will make the icons bigger (KB wise!)
- and the Workbench much slower. So register NOW!
-
- MagicWB look best for screens sized 640x512 and above. Don't use it
- with 640x256 screens, it's FUCKING ugly!
-
- Icons are meant to replace the text in a GUI-Graphic User Interface,
- so avoid using large fonts on the WB. XHelvetica 9 or 11 are big
- enough for the WB.
-
-

-
- Welcome to Frustration Inn!
-
-
-
- To Amiga Magazines:
- Why can't you use 640x512+ screens with high quality fonts and WB2
- colors when you have screenshots of serious applications. And stop
- using those fucking ugly palettes.
-
- Many of my PC user friends gets/has the impression that the Amiga
- only uses low-Res screens, so that it just looks like a games
- machine after all, and can't be taken seriously. And that really
- pisses me off. Windows may look good, but it's crap. Workbench looks
- crap (without MagicWB), but it's the best OS out there!
-
- Take Amiga Computing: They use a mix between WB1.3 and WB2+ colors on
- 90% of their screenshots. WHY? It's suppose to be a magazine for
- serious Amiga users, why not act like one? This also goes for you
- other, English, Amiga magazines.
-
- And why take consideration to WB1.3 users when developing serious
- applications/PD-/Shareware utilities etc.? WB2, and now WB3.x, has
- been a standard for 3-4 years now. WB1.3 users only use their Amigas
- for games anyway. Fuck'em!
-
- And now a couple of questions to Martin Huttenloher; What are you
- gonna do with new icon that pops up when MS-DOS disks are inserted?
- NewIcons has a hack for it! Has CBM fixed the Preset-icon bug in
- WB3.1? How are the upgrade system working? How do the registered
- users get notified of new versions? And when can we expect a new
- MagicWB release?

- This package is FREEWARE.
-
- You are allowed to spread it all over the world using any storage

-
- DISCLAIMER
-
-
-
- I'll take no responsibility for you getting laughed at for using
- these icons! Neither any damages caused to your beloved Amiga, your
- red old Lada or your already poor health.
-
- I also take no responsibility for any of the offensive text in this
- readme file, as I live in a free country with the right to speak
- freely. ;-)))
- I've learned all the swear words from movies, so blame them! My
- younger brother can also swear in English, but because of
- censorship (fuck censorship!) he only says; *beep* you! or Go *beep*
- a duck you mother*beep*er! So everytime he's angry at me, he goes
- around beeping (you know, like a roundrunner!). BEEP-BEEP!
-
- Think I drifted into a different area there! Now to something
- serious.
-
- Some PD-libraries rip people off by making their own disks
- which includes a little utility/program that takes up 20% of the
- disk and take £2 bloody pounds for it. Others make these theme
- utility disks and take £5 pounds for 2 disks. Come on! PD is meant
- to be free, you can only charge for the disk, copying charges and
- postage. Maybe by cutting down on your advertisements expenses you
- could cut the prize on the PD disks. You have these fancy
- advertisements in every Amiga magazine every bleeding month with
- every page costing hundreds of pounds. How can you afford it? When
- you're selling programs that supposed to be none profitable?
- Take one PD-library in Swindon, England, £4 for a degrader disk, £5
- for MagicWB extras, £5 for a disk doubler, £6 for the Klondike AGA
- cardgame... Need I say more? Rip off? I say YES! >-(
-
- Because of this I have to include this:
- You aren't allowed to take more than £1,- (English pound) including
- disk and copying cost, and you must include some other MagicWB icons/
- patterns to fill up the disk by at least 90%.
