What does your REAL Amiga WB look like?

Your AGA pal version doesn't look that ugly to me!

my amiga 2000 rtg is broken but I made a 3.1 workbench that I would put on it when it came back to life

It's not ugly in the sense of complete bullshit I meant for example the icon positions.. the .info files on the desktop are fixed to fit the rtg workbench and i simply clean them up by type when loading the pal workbench to fit them inside the screen. this is not the most elegant way but i does the job

It's kind of a bit "quick and dirty"

How is this 64 col?!

Indeed, looks more like 64K

Here are a couple sort of plain ones. No hard drive at present for the 1.3 on the left.
Sorry, I only have A500's, but just got ACA500+ for the 3.1 system. It has a few improvements to the Workbench. 16 colors only.

I usually use 1024x768 resolution, but for the sake of the 56k modem people and to keep this page in size (and also so it fits under the 102400 byte limit), I've temporarily shortened down to 800x600 for this grab.

Try to guess who the girl in the pic is, and you might just win a prize.

Looks like Britney. Saw you are using SCALOS. How do you like it?

Here's some of my old 500:

Oh I like the brickwork, reminds me of candy stripers!

Here's the link. Just the hires-laced ones for now since my Amiga is in storage (maybe later today I'll try to hook it up and add the hires version). Standard .info files, 4 colours.

Preview:

Do anyone still have these icons? i would love a link,really good work of Ppill.

[ImmortalA1000]

I remember my WB 1.3 for my Amiga 1000 was the original blue/orange/white/black palette and standard pointers but I had the dropshadow utility loaded in the startup.

I loved the original WB look, KS 1.4 has less cooky looking arrows for window resizing, but that was A3000 only and IIRC loaded in from hard disk not on the ROM?

My dream setup would probably be a custom copperlist for 10 colours per scanline or two and a PCHG background image but I would have to write the copperlist myself.

Do your monitors stand on pillows?

My WB has a subtle blue copper backdrop with basic icons and that is it. Need to preserve as much chip mem as possible ha!

[Weasel Fierce]

Mine is the Classic WB backdrop which is a color gradient. Looks pretty decent even in low color modes (for speed)

A1200, Scanplus AGA
Productivity screenmode, 32 color.

[Retro1234]

Not mine but has anyone seen these animated desktops for OS4 - looks pretty sweet.
