Anyone else out there think the windows the Amiga uses are just plain ugly? I love the computer to deat, but I really don't like the way the windows look. (Not that big a problem, since I rarley see them through the CLI...) I was just wondering if there was a patch out there some where to change the look of the workbench to something more pleasing... Also... Antone had any trouble with MegaWB? It garbles up my screen something fierce... Any hints/info are well appreciated. Thanks. -Duckie.

See my answer in comp.sys.amiga.introduction, I posted a small program with source that `fixes' the problem. It also allows you, the user, to change all system gadgets to whatever you want...

Jazzbench is a fairly useful Workbench replacement too... Alternatively, buy an Amiga 3000 - the windows look great! -- Sleeping Beagle (aka Thomas Farmer) sbeagle@kennels.actrix.gen.nz The Kennels Ph. +64-4-796306 (voice) 25 Awarua St, Ngaio, Wellington, New Zealand.

There is NewLook which changes the window's titlebars and gadgets, but thats about it. I'd like to see a program that will let you design your own custiom gadget images. I have tried it (by modifying the NewLook file), but its a pain in the a*s! I have also sucessfully altered the colors of the workbench windows (like a black & orange instead of white&blue) by modifying a byte or two in the Disk.info file (I think). Mabey there is a program to be written here... -=+ Steve Krulewitz +=- -=+ Fair Lawn, NJ +=- -=+ stevek@amiglynx.UUCP +=-

It was posted to c.s.a.introductions about two weeks ago. I will put it up at ab20 in the next few days. Loren J.
