workbench icon mess

i've just installed workbench 3.2 on my a1200 and im running a pretty decent resolution with 32 colors at the moment.

but the icon designs are all over the place, seems like every program has a different icon theme.

what is the best solution here? Is magic workbench still a thing or is there something better available by now?

Bromigo! It depends on what icons you want to use. 3.2 and 3.2.1 comes with a glow icon pack. There are plenty over on Aminetlike Peter K’s icons if you want a OS 4.1 look

With Peter K’s icon pack there is an installer which changes the basic icons in workbench. Same with the glowicons.

Laters Mang!

What, please?

Sorry, but I've never created any icon pack, nor would I write Installer scripts.

That are probably the Mason icons for OS 3.2, designed by Martin Merz.
