Look here: [ Show youtube player ]

Now that is a ClassicWB!!!

The video is really amazing and shows extremely well how the amiga was ahead technologically.

Thank you for this excellent video which called back to me good memories

Frog, no problem - someone did a good job on re-creating the feeling of the 1.3 age in that vid. Obviously a big fan themselves! So thanks to them! The unique looking apps/GUI's that loaded up full screen and sliding the Workbench into view was what it's all about.

Modern GUIs that all look the same got to be rather boring. Those old apps were works of art and had so much individuality pumped into them. I think standardization actually took something away from our apps, even though it also made things better.

ppsh41, that's awesome!

That`s great, I would love to find a Workbench 1.3 pack with a load of apps installed, I still miss those blue, white and orange. I remember booting up my A500 in 1987, I spent hours messing around in Workbench.

1.3 is lovely.

mombasajoe · 15 March 2010, 13:07

To be honest...the windows don´t look very nice without the orange "%-full-bar."

Bloodwych · 15 March 2010, 13:10

I can add the full bar.

cosmicfrog · 15 March 2010, 13:46

actualy if you look closely its wb 1.2

in the vid

but thats just nit picking

Adropac2 · 15 March 2010, 16:49

Ah the memories.Looks good Bloodwych

Adropac2 · 15 March 2010, 16:55

I like both colour schemes.The blue was perhaps a bit gaudy but still nice enough especially now nostalgia kicks in, and the grey is stylish

Bloodwych · 15 March 2010, 19:44

Well ppsh41 is being awesomely kind enough to help me out with a 1.3 pack and also the 1.3 themes. I bow to the more experienced in this field.

I'm impressed with his setup above. If anyone else has cool 1.3 setups, come forward as the more programs and icons the better. I can then choose all the best stuff!

Time to give 1.3 some love.

Yes please, Bloodwych!

I would like it too!

Muzer · 16 March 2010, 23:42

I'd quite like a 1.3 pack, for when I get my A500, or if I ever get a CDTV SCSI interface

Retro1234 · 16 March 2010, 23:52

Im pretty

sure Whdload/JST doesnt work on 1.3 -Maybe a pack of Reasonable games that run from Assigns,have there own installs.

TCD · 17 March 2010, 08:37

Not sure we're talking about a ClassicWB 1.3 here. I think it's just a theme for ClassicWB (hence the non-existant full bar

).

Your just trying to confuse me

It started out like that....

...but now I'm thinking of doing both. Plus a standard grey icon scheme too.

How about also turning 3.5/9 into a 1.3 looking Workbench! LOL!

When you can turn my XP into OS1.3 looking workbench you can boast, until then....great work
