I don't think I am doing it the "classic" way : my config. for UAE ClassicWB doesn't bear any JIT, and neither does kitty's I presume. Basically, I need JIT for booting a custom sophisticated OS 3.9. In the case of ClassicWB, whatever the version, it's simply overkill.

got me, i only know a nonUAE version where the scalos window
was centered (nice FX to copper-demon)

@Kitty
meanwhile I'll setup ClassicUAE
Are you using the ScalosPrefs items located in
Expansion/scalos/prefs ?
They save the colors for me while the ones in the usual prefs folder don't
Palette is tricky there because they're only named by Pin-number

Will setup full Palette too, i'm not sure if it works on scalos
(could be it doesn't save the colors just like the usual one)

[Kitty]

Did you manage to save the WB icons font colors from the prefs. as shown in post #171 ?
Something's wrong if you can't save any WB settings.

Yeah that worked as far as I can see, but the palette defintly isnt saving on reset or even after a WinUAE shutdown

you have explained exactly my problem there, I'll try scalos presfs.

Edit: How do you use these prefs??

Also No.7 (pink) I dont see that color used in my workbench??

Scalos isn't 100% bug free. Even the ancient stable version that Bloodwych used for CWB has some. I remember some palette problems too when i used AIAB some years ago.

[Kitty]

ok I changed a color and scalos palette saved! finally getting somewhere lol

@Kitty
press 'Pen Adjust' to have some 'names' for the pen's
With 'new' you can add pen's to the list, they can't be changed then

@Retro-Nerd
I remember some bugs but not which exactly
the latest beta (i've seen) is better even with it's prefs progs
but hard to set up because there was no list of which MUI libs required

I know what you mean. One day i had enough and switched to AmiKit for non-game related Amiga stuff and ClassicWB LITE for WHDLoad games/testing.

Awesome

Btw I am never failed to be amazed with all your knowledge, I would never have figured out 99% of the stuff if I wasnt a member or EAB

[Kitty]

Ok new question lol

Is there any higher resolution icons I can use, the ones i got at the moment look naff when in full screen!

[tero]

@ Kitty
in Icons folder are some Icons

But they're still the same resolution
Ken Lester's Icons are great on higher screens but require Powericons
cause they are PNG
later ones from Ken requires AfA_OS, afaik they are os4 style

knowledge?
I just pressed every button to see what happens (ok, not only - but this time)
I guess the knowledge is on TCD and R-N here

Funny how you "select" information sometimes kitty , because the other .hdf from the UAE archive has the copper effect instead of a backdroped wallpaper (a bit antinomic to retro workbenching if you ask me) , which if I remember well you were craving for at the time you were using v3.1, or weren't you ?

Also, if you attach the Software directory after ClassicWB installation, the icon "shortcuts" from all the proggies (EaglePlayer..) will not be copied onto the desktop.

Finally, the 020 CPU can do, no need for a 040. It's not something that will change your experience with it, but INMHO should you emulate a tight specs machine (a basic A1200, which again was what BloodWych had in mind when he created those WB's)), less is more in regards to the Hardware settings.

I havnt deserted my old setup, just having a play with Classic Workbench, I'm not sure if I will use Classic Workbench as my default Amiga Platform, I find the basic older setup far easier to use.

I have installed the Amiga 1200 config now on Classic Workbench, it feels a bit buggy though. When you open an icon or flick between clicking icons theres a buggy type of quick flash, I dont know if anyone knows what I mean by this, I think its too quick to capture on screengrab.
