No, you don't need to install IconLib to get MWB colors, but you never explained what you really want to do.
Same as you, I've never heard the original Honky Tonk Blues from Hank Williams before, but maybe Honky Tonk Woman from the Rolling Stones or similar songs from other bands. http://www.laut.de/Hank-Williams/Son...k-Blues-804597 |

just wanted to set these mwb colours for corresponding icons to be displayed in correct colours.
the other song i don't know also. sounds like 40s or 50s music? a bit too old for my taste... |

The ClickForColors is present in the MWB archive and al lot of other MWB icon/pattern/... sets. If you double click, it will set the MWB color palette temporary. But if you open PalettePrefs and save the palette it will be there until you change it. So you don't need to install anything.
FullPalette need to be installed if you want to use it. It is useful if you have a screen with more then 8 colors. |

coexistence Glow icons would look as intended if added as well. The byproduct, of course, is that images all hold the same quality no matter how many you show on screen simultaneously. #6 |

Glad I found this thread... I had a few questions more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm sure it's been answered 1000 times before and I could find bits and pieces of the answer with a lot of digging, but...
I'm using OS 3.1.4, VisualPrefs, FullPalette, and the PeterK icon.libraqry under a 256 color WinUAE RTG desktop. I've set the Workbench Prefs "SetMagicWB Colors" option to ON and I know that MagicWB icons use colors 0-7 of the palette, and I have colors 4-7 locked in FullPalette per other recommendations. Here's the questions... 1) Should I lock 0-3? 2) What exactly does the "Set MagicWB colors" do? Is this simply forcing 4-7 to the MagicWB colors as shown in FullPalette? 3) Why does the standard Palette program not show the MagicWB colors in 4-7 like FullPalette but instead using 252-255 as 4-7? Is this by design or a flaw in said design? |

1) The pens 0-3 for the system colors are always locked.
2) Correct, it sets pen 4-7 to the MWB colors 3) Prefs/Palette always sets the first 4 and the last 4 pens (in multicolor mode) and locks them. If you want to use the MWB colors for the last 4 pens too, there is a tool "ClickForColors" in the MWB package. After using that just open Prefs/Palette and save all. No need for FullPalette on 3.1.4/3.9 to set MWB colors. You can also change the MWB icons with FixMWB from Aminet to switch between pens 4-7 and 252-255 to avoid wrong colored MWB icons and to save pens for other colors. MWB should only use pens 4-7 nowadays. |

An example of what I was seeing that was really the initial spark of this question is I have some MagicWB icons that display fine, then some (SwazInfo, for example) that do not unless the last 4 are set to the MagicWB colors. |
