magic workbench looks

vertigo · 19 May 2015, 22:31

Edit..... Sorted, i had an unregged copy of MW, now found the regged version and delighted to have the old looks once again.

Sorry if this is a bit basic but I'm stuck.

What it is, many moons ago on my original 1200 I had magic workbench installed with the marble effect background and updated icons/windows. Similar to what is shown on the mui website.

I now have the usual classic workbench installed via CF card. I want to have this look again but for the life of me I can't work out what to do, it appears magic workbench and mui is installed on the card but iI can't work out how to get those settings.

I used to know the Amiga back to front and inside out, it seems the memory has faded.

Any walk round would be appreciated.

Thanks

It is all about Palette prefs, Envarc:def_???.info and WBPattern. And a little tool called obtainpens or similar to reserve colour pens. Nothing more. Try booting with standard 3.1 AGA 16 colours Workbench and climb up from there.
