- Introduction
- ------------
-
- StartMenu is a nice program and it really has some nice features, but lets
- face it, the icons that come with it are not really attractive, IMHO. If
- you are like me, you love the MagicWB icon designs, and strive to have
- every icon conform to the MagicWB look.
-
- With this small collection of brushes and icons you can have StartMenu's
- appearence fit the MagicWB standard. I know the author of StartMenu
- stated that a "feature" of StartMenu was that it "Does not require Magic
- Workbench". Well, I like MagicWB icons and its colour scheme so I just
- had to get StartMenu to look good on my Workbench, and this is the result.
-
-
- About the Icons and Brushes
- ---------------------------
- Many of the icons and brushes I just cut and paste from other sources, and
- I just did a bit of touch up. I hope the original artists (who ever they
- are) do not mind me doing this to their work.
-
- The Mini Icons and brushes are all a size of 20x20. This was done so that
- with a text size of 11 points (I use XHelvetica/11) and a StartMenu icon
- multiplier of 1.80, the icons and brushes would not be resized and
- therefore look distorted.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Just copy the files to the corresponding drawers.
-
- In the StartMenu Setup program, under Custom, set the following:
-
- Misc: Icon Multiplier = 1.80
- Font = XHelvetica/11
- Spacing = 0
-
- Commodities = ON
- Screens = ON
- System Prefs = ON
- Logo = ON
- My Computer = ON
-
- Colors: TaskBar = 130, 130, 130
- StartButton Text = 255, 255, 255
- StartButton BG = 56, 112, 168
- Menu Title = 0, 0, 0
- Menu Title Select = 255, 255, 255
- Menu BG = 168, 168, 168
- Menu BG Select = 100, 136, 184
- Clock = 0, 0, 0
- Clock BG = 168, 168, 168
- TaskBar Button Text = 0, 0 , 0
- TaskBar Button BG = 168, 168, 168
-
- For the WinControl Prefs, you may want to have disk windows show up
- differently on the TaskBar. Here is an example template of what I use:
-
- NAME PATTERN ICON TEXT BG OFFSET
- <Volume> <Volume>#?full#? StartMenu:Brushes/MiniDisk -1 10 1
-
-
- Hope you like it,
