My workbench:

AmigaSYS4 AGA, A1200, 030/50 MHz, 34 MB RAM, 64 Colors

Graham Humphrey · 30 December 2009, 20:18

That's a pretty nice backdrop.

This was my Workbench. After I plugged my hdd to an Amithlon system because my 4000T was busted.

This is my current setup @ 1152x864x16-bit, I would go 24 bit, but fine-tuning the settings in p96mode for my LCD monitor (Which does NOT convert interlaced modes) has proven to be a pain. Anyway, I couldn't decide wether to get rid of my Star Trek theme entirely for my favorite game, Frontier Elite II, or run with trekbench. So I did both. :-D

The background nebula I got from NASA I believe, the LCARS overlay was the result of a google image search, as is the Imperial Trader for the ship. The icons are all power-icons (Including the UFP logo), usually ripped from KDE destop icons. I HATE digging through directory structures, so I have dock menus all over the place. Of course, I have Limpidclock, and went for a gnome look via visualprefs. The MCP-modified WB title needs a bit of work, though.
This is the setup I had in 1997 that got the whole trekbench thing started for me.

That was @ 640x480x4bit, regular Amiga icons (no new/glowicons), and really low sys specs. (AGA only, still had a 060, but only 8 MB RAM) But it was the perfect beast to fire up after watching a Star Trek TNG episode. :-D

This is my A500+ (2mb Chip, 8mb fast,1 gb CF as HD and 68010). I´ve just put the harddisk (CF) into WinUAE to make a "quick" screenshot. One difference to the real machine: After the workbench has been started there are only about 1.740.000 free chipmem, in winUAE it is more (as seen in the screenshot)...I don´t know why.

640x256, 8 Colors

This is my new A600

I have to fix the black stripe on the right thats not intentional lol...

prowler · 11 February 2010, 00:14

That looks like an extremely efficient A600 setup, Steve!

I particularly like the way the RAM is distributed.

Thanks

CWB looks after the RAM very well

Peter · 11 February 2010, 01:15

Thank goodness for the Pretec 2MB PCMCIA SRAM - gives the A600 the little boost it needs!!

I bought the other two 2MB cards the guy had on ebay btw - cost me £27.50 each mind you - I think I might sell one...

Nice use of chipmem. But one question: Why do you run your WB as a window? Ist costs "space" on the screen but are there any advantages?

I'm using Classic Workbench and thats how it comes setup. Seems to work fine for me?

mombasajoe · 11 February 2010, 09:46

Ah, okay.

fitzsteve · 11 February 2010, 10:01

cosmicfrog · 11 February 2010, 11:51

Nice background, simple but effective.
As your using MWB color i guess you can add a light gradient to the Amiga logo
