Workbench best screenmode on Pal TV????
Hi!!!!
I'm running an CD32/SX32 +8Mo Fast with OS3.9 on a PAL TV Screen In Prefs/Screenmodes, i have the choices between these 6 modes : Pal: Lo-res Pal: Lo res-Laced Pal: Hi-res Pal: Hi-res Laced Pal: Super Hi res Pal: Super Hi-res Laced My question is: Is it possible to add any custom screenmodes because i don't really like laced mode on TV (it just burn my eyes ) and super hi res is a bit too high (1280X256 is quite unreadable) I'm searching a way to display a screen mode like 800X600 non-laced on my little config Is it possible??? I've found an archive on aminet called VideoDriv13.lha wich seems to add 800x600 screenmode I can't use it, but it's perhaps it's just impossible....... Please let me now what i can do Thanks |

theres only two things you can do my friend one is expensive and invloves buying a scan-doubler / flicker fixer,
the only other method is to run from RGB out to RGB in, thats the best pictiure you will get i am afraid.. I would suggest 640x256x32, its what i run, and it looks clean and crisp on a monitor... with just enough room to play with... |

You can play around with the overscan settings too to give yourself a bit more desktop space.

Ok Thanks
I'm running 640x256x32 too via RGB scart on 50Hz TV and it's a sharp image, your're right, Zetro But i think the icons are a little bit too large on screen, that's why i want to change resolution in fact Is there a way to reduce the icons size in OS3.9 ???? I will try to play with overscan too Thanks again |

I think there are some Icon packs on Aminet... failing that get your hands on a program called Iconian and you can modifiy your own... in fact I am sure that under New-Icons you can modify All the icons at once.... if memory serves me well .....

I've found the package on the Synotech website, not aminet in fact
http://www.synotec-newmedia.de/downloads.2.html The Glow Icons look like the default OS3.9 icons but are smaller Great for low-res |

Are there any smaller NewIcons around, rather than GlowIcons as I only have 3.0?

I've only ever seen the magic workbench icons used in the classicwb full for tvres. No newicon packs.
http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/full.htm Some people don't like those though. |

What I meant in my last post is I haven't seen tvres (640x256) smaller proportioned newicons, only normal/magic icons. |

Perhaps the synotec icons can be adapted with iconian for newicon.library but it's a long work......

Cheers for the advice guys. I did a bit of searching on here and one thread (can't remember which one right now, might be the one you're thinking of Bloodwych) mentioned a program called "ConvertColorIcon", however I did a search for it on Aminet and couldn't find it. Anyone heard of/used it?
