OS 4.0 windows style & Boingball bar

[viddi]

Hi!

I have seen a lot of OS 3.9-pics using additional tools that beautify our beloved Workbench.

I´d like to do the same.
Do you know the tools I need to place a Boingball on the title bar and how to get OS 4.0 style windows?

Ah yes, do these tools kill much of my performance (060)?

Thank you very much.
See you later,
Viddi.

Well, there's this on Aminet that allows you to put an animated Boingball anywhere on WB. Not really sure about OS 4.0 style windows, but PowerIcons might be helpful in achieving a similar look to OS 4.0 by allowing use of 24-bit PNG icons. Be warned that an 060 and a good gfx card are probably essential for PowerIcons not to slow down your system too much.

Well, other essential patches to have some good looks are VisualPrefs, Birdie2000, FullPallette, Titleshadow
You can find them all on Aminet, then you can find finished "themes" for these patchtes to use.
The trick with these patches is to put them in the right places in the startup-sequence.
A premade theme which is good to start with is VorgolaWB which also can be found on Aminet, it includes a good setup-instruction for VisualPrefs and Birdie.
You should be fine with a 060 but you'll need a graphicscard if you don't already have one.
Please let us know if you need more assistance.
