Short: Lava red appearace for Workbench and Directory Opus 5
Author: mexico@ptt.yu (Miki)
Uploader: mexico@ptt.yu (Miki)
Type: util/wb
Here are included the preferences for some programs which
change the look and feel of Workbench: VisualPrefs , Birdie ,
MagicMenu and TitleShadow. Their latest versions can be found
on Aminet.
Requirements: High colour Workbench
------------
+ all the programs listed above
Recommended: OS 3.5
------------
1024 x 768 screenmode or higher
FullPalette ( also on Aminet )
13 point screen font
Installation: First you have to install all these programs
------------ like it says in their manuals and then change
their preferences.
Usage :
-----
Visual Prefs : This preferences are for VP 1.5 or higher. Copy the
directory Lava where ever you want , start GUI of
VisualPrefs , open Lava/Lava.pre , and under
System/Bitmaps choose Lava. Then save the prefs.
NOTE: The gadgets may look weird in GUI prefs and
the first time when you save the prefs. That's
because most gadgets are drawn to use ONLY with
Birdie and included textures. However, when you
see how it looks you won't regret it.
Birdie : Open Birdie prefs ( bprefs.lha , also on Aminet) , load my
Birdie prefs , for Active window pattern choose
ActiveWindow.png and in pattern list choose InactiveWindow.png.
Do NOT add any more patterns to pattern list because this set
is designed for only one pattern.
MagicMenu: This prefs file is for MagicMenu 2.35 (www.magicmenu.de).
Open MMPrefs ,load MM_Red.prefs ,and then save the prefs.
I also added MM_Blue prefs file. You might want to use it if
you think that not every part of Workbench should be red.
TitleShadow: Copy my titleshadow.prefs to ENV: and ENVARC: and then load
TitleShadowPrefs and save the prefs again. Here I've added
a pink outline to the selected window title so now it
has a nice glow effect.
NOTE: In order this to work you'll have to install
Full Palette first. After the installation copy
the included FullPalette.prefs to ENV:Sys and ENVARC:Sys
and then reboot your Amiga.
Workbench: I included a desktop picture in Lava style for WB , a texture
for WB windows and a background for DOpus requesters. These
pictures really require OS 3.5 ( because of its picture.datatype
which does dithering on highcolour screens ) or true colour workbench.
NOTE: I've added a pointer prefs file which you may use with this
Lava set. On all Amiga computers pointer is red by default ,
so it might be hard to see if you use the AquaRed background.
This yellow pointer can be distinguished well on red and it
looks cool too.
I wanted to keep this archive as short as possible , so I uploaded the snapshot
of my WB separately as pix/wb/LavaWBsnap.jpg.
