os 3.9 color drawers

[honx]

normally, drawers in amigaos 3.9 are green if they don't have a special icon.
are other colors for drawers available somewhere? like blue, yellow, red, etc.?

[Daedalus]

There are many colours available. I can't remember where I got mine, but they could either be a contribution on the OS 3.9 CD or perhaps were on some magazine cover CD. But the default colour for drawers is blue, not green so you might already have the coloured icons on your system. Check your hard drive, particularly SYS:Prefs/Env-archive/sys and see if any more are in there. The drawers use the def-drawer.info icon from there for their default icon, so changing that to a different coloured one will mean Workbench uses that colour by default from then on.

in prefs/env-archive/sys dir there is only the green drawer. on amigaos 3.9 cd i can't find these icons either.
also can't find color folder icons on 3.5 glowicon collection cd which i bought along with amigaos 3.5 in 1999.

The drawers colors, si trovano nel percorso:

CD0: OS-version3.9/Icons,(the Icons folder has no Icon, from Workbench you have to give the command "show all files", see screenshot

[honx]

thx, now i search for more colors such als red and yellow and so on.

Try this iconset from JoachimA:

All colors, many sizes, and an excellent design !! You won't find anything better.

unfortunately these icons are another style, see attached screenshot.

Very Fine, better on a screen RTG

[honx]

what do you mean with screen rtg?
i have rtg set up with 1920*1080.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Have on "OS3" a Graphics Card as "UAE Zorro III" or "Picasso IV Zorro III"

[honx]

well, i only have uae and pal screenmodes available. i have chosen uae 1920x1080 32bit BGRA. see attached screenshot.
btw, while trying to make this screenshot i encountered, that winuae goes minimized when i switch out for snipping tool.
so i can't use the win7 snipping tool anymore and have to screenshot the whole screen, copy it into paint.net or similar,
cut the snippet from screenshot and safe it. very time-consuming. don't know why winuae doesn't stay active anymore.

I for convenience use a smaller Amiga screen to Win7, this is because it is convenient to doDrag And Drop Desktop PC To Workbench Amiga, but also to capture Video Easily. OS3 It not simultaneously handles two or more video cards (Switch), to have the Picasso IV must copy the the Driver "Monitor" in devs monitor and make settings in the screen mode, in my screenshotthe screenmode Picasso IV a member of another of my system

drag & drop between host and emulation? how goes that?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

You can simply drag any file from desktop Windows to Workbench: you can drag immage , sound, video e archive and WinUAE you will find them in a folder on Workbench

[honx]

i have tried that, but it doesn't work on my setup. did i try wrong file type?
so i have a "shared" folder as hard drive, for file exchange between host and emulation.

option a) don't use fullscreen mode. b) don't enable minimize when inactive option.

Thomas is a skilled coder. Didn't you know that, honx?

He can write a nice tool like this with one hand behind his back.
