Short: Aristotelis` second Workbench snapshot Author: arigr@lm.com (Aristotelis Grammatikakis) Uploader: arigr lm com (Aristotelis Grammatikakis) Type: pix/wb Architecture: generic This is the lastest grab of my Workbench. Because people started asking, I`ll go into more detail about the Workbench grab here. My hardware consists of an A4000/060 and a Picasso IV (along with lots of memory and hard disk space). The resolution is 1152x900 at 16bit. The ship you see in the background is Nikolaos, one of some I scanned from a collection of paintings of last century`s greek ships from Galaxidi. That collection is part of the museum of Galaxidi and I found them in the very nice book of "Ships of Galaxidi" published by the museum. Starting from the top we have Tinymeter, the system meters and launcher which I prefer to use from Toolmanager. Too bad that Urou has dropped the Amiga and none has picked up the sources. The missing toolbar is courtesy of CGWBPattern and so is the remaining depth gadget (which unfortunately is not vector resizable). The little xeyes clone is BlueEyes (just because MagicEye uses too much of CPU at the moment). The imagedrawer and hard disk icons you see are my own creations, called AristIcons.They are uploaded to Aminet at pix/icon. The window gadgets are a set of my own put there with Urouhack. Unfortunately the hack is not perfect and Urou like I said before has gone "byebye". I have to say that I don`t use it anymore apart for the purpose of this screenshot because it locks MUI windows some times. The shell console is VincED and excellent CON replacement. And I also use ZShell. I have Mame running, the Arcade emulator with 1942 playing its demo (and sucking up all my CPU power). On the top right corner is the mailbox icon of YAM that announces e-mail arriving. Part of the AristIcon collection. YAM is also open to show my MUI set up. I have CyberWindow displaying a robot I did for the 3D Studio MAX class at school. I also have to mention the greek language on my WB which is offered by Tsaousis Kostas` great Greek Workbench package which includes -much- more than just locale catalogs (some of which are also modified :-). On the bottom we have Dashboard, which is part of the excellent Executive. Dashboard is incredibly configurable and can display many useful system stasts and info. Even the "AmigaOS" box is made with Dahsboard. What everything shows I think its pretty self-explenatory. The titles are centered with CenterTitles. The menus were done with MagicMenu V2.15. Great, great utility. And ofcourse MCP is doing some aesthetic changes as well (like the scrollers and the "fill bar") And for those who are interested in WB enhancements, on my WBStartup I have: CyberPatcher, CenterTitles, Tinymeter, GreekMagic, AristosMeter (my dashboard creation), MagicMenu, SwazInfo, BlueEyes, IconAppearer, MultiReset, MCP, Viruz and NozyBench. For a final word, apart from waiting impatiently for a WB replacement like Scalos, WorkbenchNG, and a bug-fixed MBench, I would love an Intuition replacement, especially one with the window manager features of XWindow System. Offcourse, a new AmigaOS would change all that (or maybe not). Aristotelis
