BestClassicWB v2.0 for OS3.2
BestClassicWB is an expansion pack that aims to bring the ClassicWB look to OS3.2.2.1.
It adds the GlowIcons found in ClassicWB, as well as some extra programs, tools, utilities, and datatypes. It is suitable for 020+ and AGA chipset (or similar UAE setup). You'll need a clean OS3.2.2.1 installation, after extracting the .zip file double click the BCWB icon to start. Previous versions: - BestClassicWB v2.0.4 for OS 3.2.1 Last edited by samplist; 05 February 2024 at 18:50. Reason: Version update |

Why are you including say, AssignWedge, when this is now built in to the OS?

Making the new OS look like the old OS's new OS look ....
Is it only me that prefers the out-of-the-box 1.3 and 2.04/3.1 looks? |

@NinjaCyborg, BestClassciWB just installs the AssignWedge icon over the OS3.2 one in WBStartup.

I've just installed this and haven't done much with it yet but really appreciate you putting this together, so far it seems great!

Looks fantastic but can I ask which AGA features are used? I would like to use this on a A500, A600 or A2000 but am unsure of what AGA features are needed.
Any chance of a version for non-AGA Amigas? |

@blindguy Workbench is preconfigured to 64 colors and also it's using the P96 native driver. I would try to have it working on UAE first, I have no plans of an non-AGA version ATM.

Should be able to just drop it to 16col and disable copper as that's all you had to do with the original CWB packs

Just installed this on a test HDF with clean OS3.2 on it.
Since installing BestClassicWB v2.0 my CPU in WINUAE is working at around %115-117 (I don't get this with any other config in WINUAE) and that's just sitting doing nothing. The mouse pointer is now laggy and leaves a ghost behind it and when I click on Dopus it says a version of Dopus is already running in resident memory do I want to bring it to the front. What could be causing these weird issues? |

@512k MiamiDX comes bundled with BestClassicWB and there is no option to not install it (as it's the case with any other component as well).
You can install Roadshow or any other TCP stack though, I don't think there will be any issue. @rabidgerry I actually use WinUAE to create and test BestClassicWB and didn't notice any such issues. Make sure you have AGA and a 030 CPU in your setup. |

You cannot run both stacks. If I remember right, there is a bsdsocket.library conflict. One (Roadshow) exist as file in Libs: and the other (MiamiDX) will be "built" on startup. Just try to see what happens.
