Short: Realistic, shaded OS3.5/3.9-Icons Author: raoulbogers@gmx.de (Raoul Bogers) Uploader: raoulbogers gmx de (Raoul Bogers) Type: pix/gicon Version: 0.6 Architecture: generic NewAge-Icons version 0.6 (First international Distribution) ====================== Raoul Bogers (raoulbogers@gmx.de) Distribution: On Aminet and AmigaPlus-LeserCD. News! - Thanks to the Amiga-User for their Interest and Tips, at their suggestion i have replaced the old Drive- and Drawer-Icons with better ones! Errors on Shadow-Details was removed and the Colorpalette was optimized. Attention, there are many more Special-Drawer-Icons. - Overall 1032 NewAge-Icons, 367 Filetype-Icons and 148 Drawer- and DiskIcons. - 51 new Pattern match with my WB-Color-Theme! - Matching to the new Interface, a new Skin for PlayCD and one for Amplifier! NEW!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But the Main Reason for this Version, is the new embedded Support for Default-Icons, with the matching DefIcons.prefs-File, more about this in "DefIcons.liesmich" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - and for anyone creativ, who use my WB-Color-Theme, as a little Extra the Icons.iff and Marker.iff for ArtEffect4, they must copied to ArtEffect:Data, Backup of original Files is recommended. ***Please read the legal notice at the end of this document!*** WHAT IS IT? - This Replacement is for users of NewAge-IconEdition v. 0.2-0.4 and is sorted in the same Drawer-Strukture. - The Drive- and Drawer-Icons are Replacements for the older ones. - There are to Versions one with the Neon-Effect and for People who dont like that, a Version (normal) without the Neon-Effect! - There are two Sizes of any Drawer, theyr Operation is dependend on Screensize and how many Files you are using on your System. The Basic-Rule, smaller is faster! Smaller Icons minimizing the use of RAM. Smaller Icons speeds up the Windowrefresh and smaller Files speeds up the Filetransfers! REQUIREMENTS - The complete Icon-Edition was created under the AmigaOS3.9 Environment, you need at least OS3.5 to use them! - For the use of the Def_Icons, you need the Tool "Deficons" v45.6 from Stephan Rupprecht. - I recommend the use of WB2Fast, to improve the performance and to free the ChipRAM. FEATURES - Better Color-style, as opposed to standard OS3.9 icons. - *softer* difference between the selected and unselected images of the icon (the OS3.9-Icon sets change with to many contrast, making it hard to work concentrated at long ranges at the Interface!) This is the famous NEON EFFECT ;-) - Hand-drawn, Synergie-Work Amiga meets BeOS, not only for the making, also for 'the' Look! - Color gradients, soft shadows (non glowed!), interlaced . - New Support of Priority-Markers, i use yellow symbols for hot-actual-Files, blue symbols for older or closed Projects. - unified Look, that helps to look at the Work, not of the supercolored Icons! Systemwide Filetype-scheme! - special for professional Amiga-User's, they're work more then one Hour on the Interface. WHY VERSION 0.6 - This is an Replacement for Release 0.2-0.4, important! complete DefIcons and the deficons.prefs, new DrawerIcons and much more Icons!! - The Copyrights are the same, as for the Release 0.2 - These are the icons *I* needed on *my* system. With the usefull BeOS5 in Mind, i intend to creat a Synergie between BeOS' filehandling and OS3.5' Icon-Features - thats a 'Present' for the Amiga-Community. With that i mark the Day, of refinding the best OS! ...i have searched in the PC-Sector in approx. 5 Years, but could'nt find anyone like the AmigaOS. Now using AmigaOS3.5, that takes its work on my WinUAE ... blah blah blaha! Thats old, really old! Really new is, my new AmigaNG on Amithlon, more Speed, more Sound, and i wait for Voodoo5-Support in Amithlon, than i'm became unstoppable!! Welcome in the Real-Time-AmigaEmulation. I'am home!! No more Regedit-editing, no more BlueScreens! NO MORE!! TO DO - Full Workbench replacement. - An Installer-Script whould be nice. - More common applications and datatypes. - More containers (folders, drawers, disks) corresponding to the major datatypes. - Interface-Themes, Toolbar and Animation-Graphics - User-Rights-Support, Net-Icons there lots of work, work for days or months, thats why i've planned to distribute a new, more complete Edition in Winter 2003. BUGS Oh no !! Excuse me, but a full-displaying of all of the NewAge-Icons produces small Artefacts in the Palette of the Standard-OS3.9-Icons, don't know the reason why;-) There's no install-script, the use of the Drag'n Drop-Feature of the AmigaOS3.9-WBInformation is recommended. The Support of the convert-scripts (coming up with the AmigaOS3.5 CD-Contribution) is not tested! LEGAL NOTICE The NewAge-IconEdition Version0.5 is (c) Copyright 2001-2003 by Raoul Bogers.
