My palette is slightly different - less saturated blue, no real orange or pink (as you can tell by the badly coloured pink "Brazil bikini"), but I needed more grey shades for anti-aliased text. I have a 4-colour version of this WB. (more of a greyscale/bluescale kind of thing... but what can you expect with 4 colours?) |

I don't want to appear to be flaunting my screenshots, but I think I'll.... flaunt my screenshots. (sorry, this is a thread about 16-colour optimized palettes and I just couldn't help myself)
I haven't changed anything for a few years, so if you've seen my Amiga 500 screenshots before, there's nothing really new to see here. "Nothing to see here... move along." Desktop Desktop - showing some icons from my archive (DOOM icon deliberately left chunky for that pixelated DOOM look) Menu with font "icons" Edit: My older screenshots used the same palette. (oldest is smaller, before I went with maximum overscan) Last edited by mr_a500; 20 October 2010 at 09:59. |

This were my results after upgrading two days ago: BB2 Chip Ram: 1.416Kb (69%) BB3 Chip Ram: 1.135 (55%) BB4 Chip Ram: 1.170 (57%) All was using Fblit, Ftext, and others, but I've just installed CyberbugFixAGA and my chip ram with 64 colors and BB4 now is: 1443Kb (71%). Ah, I've got a Blizzard 1260. Thank you very much! Last edited by Retrofan; 01 November 2010 at 15:00. |

It's really incredible. I have just installed it in another CF in which I have Amikit for a Real Amiga (my favourite), in which I had 1681512 Graphics memory. Now I have 1756120! Incredible. Even, now it appears an Amikit presentation-window while booting that didn't before (don't know why). Look what beauty:
[ Show youtube player ] Oh, and sorry for the interruption... (I'm so happy). Cammy there's a problem with the link of the Scalos Palette, not sure if it's the page or the link itself. Last edited by Retrofan; 01 November 2010 at 18:31. |

Hi:
As nobody tells, the video is a shit. I made it with my mobile and I can't see nothing well, and if you could listen it you would see that each time I pump up the volume, the mobile turns down it automatically in the recording. I've made a couple of photos (with the same mobile), but I have to say a couple of things: First: As I was planning to make the photos in the LCD I have, I changed Euro72 from Storage to Devs, and as you know it wastes chipmem, but I coudn't connect it and did the photos to the Tv, but with the same changes, so the chipmem in the photos is lower than the real one. (BTW it seems to me that it wasn't Euro72 what I had to use) Second: The Graphics memory I've tell is with 256 colors!!! I've changed it to 16 to try and it has given me 18560000 graphics memory!!!!! But won't make a photo of that, because it was very very ugly. I haven't installed any new palette, but I don't know if the first Workbench has so much chipram, and my Amikit is over OS3.9 boingagged 2! Ah! I don't have any graphic card and the accelerator is a B1260 at 66Mhz. Of course, there are things dissabled, but I have others like the online update that work. Here are a couple of photos, but tell me: Does anybody have more chipram than I? I've heard a Frog sometimes can make dreams come true, but I thought it was a tale, so Frog thanks again... (and I owe you a kiss) EDIT: I won't make another post talking about something not related to the thread, and I really beg you pardon, but if someone wants to try the Amikit installation here are the instructions http://amiga-manuals.xiik.net/other/...Manual-ENG.pdf, although it was really difficult to make it.

I'd really like to work on this project with a larger group of people who would like to help test and add to it so we can come up with a fun new Workbench distribution that fits along with ClassicWB, AmigaSys and Amikit, but we don't have a forum to hold development discussions on. |

Yes, I understand it has to be easy, but is there any small guide, link to other Thread or some comment of how to install/use that palette for Idiots/Newbies?

Perhaps it's too soon, but I would like to know how the "Radioactive Workbench" goes, if someone has joined to Cammy and Rebel to make a different Classic Workbench with their improvements...

No one has really offered to help other than asking if they can use the pack for themselves. It's such a big job it could take years to finish it at the current rate. We have nowhere to even start a forum or thread about it, so nowhere for general discussion about the packs, testing reports or a list of what needs to be done.
I'm sorry if I've let you down, it's kind of tiring working on so many Amiga projects at once with little or no help. It's not that I don't have the time, I've pretty much dedicated my life to furthering the Amiga cause in as many ways as I can, but it's a lot to do alone! I'd like to make this "Modern Workbench" an open project where anyone can contribute. Rebel and I are writing up some basic style guides in case anyone does have the time to help, so things like how to best use the palette and how to make icons in the right size will be explained in an attempt to keep the pack consistent. But once again, we have no forum for Amiga projects like this, so it will probably not happen for a long time. |

@Cammy
A question I've always meant to ask you...how on earth did you get workbench2000 to run. I cannot get it to run on any of my amigas. I think it's a lib missing or something as when I start it it gets half way thru loading and just stops... @everyone else - I'm talking about the XP like startbar in the above screenshots |
