What is MotoWB? --------------- In short: Motorola logos in three versions for use with MagicWB-compliant Commodore-Amiga workstations. :) MotoWB is my contribution to the steadily growing library of background pictures for the Workbench screen and windows. It is designed for use with the MagicWB palette (8 colors minimum), and will most certainly not look good with any other palette. Likewise, the large pictures will only work ok in 640x512 or something similar, preferably DblPal HiRes No(!) Flicker, or possibly Multiscan Productivity (640x480). You could of course always edit the pictures yourself to center the images. If I'll ever do a new version, it will be able to construct pictures from vectors, in any resolution or screen depth (even zero, promise!). @endnode @node Installation Installation ------------ Assuming you have a copy of the Commodore Installer lying around somewhere: Just start the installation script named 'MotoWB-Install' from the Workbench. The script will ask you where to place the pictures, default is 'SYS:Prefs/Patterns/'. Only the contents of the 'Pictures/' drawer will be copied. The 'Images/' drawer contains the mask for the large image. Thus, you can trace it to vectors and scale it, or do whatever you like with it. Why not first trace and then ray trace? :) @endnode @node AboutTheAuthor "About the Author" About the Author ---------------- My name is Kristofer Maad, and I'm studying mathematics, physics, and computer science at the Uppsala University in Sweden. I am really more of a programmer than an artist, but I felt that I needed to let my feelings for our beloved CPU out in a sensitive, yet powerful and convincing experience to eye and mind... er... not. Anyway, it's better than the ugly grey screen, and it hides the vertical banding quite nicely, don't you think? :) If you would like to contact me, for whatever reason, see the @{"Copyright" Link Copyright} section. @endnode @node Copyright Copyright --------- MotoWB v1.0 - Motorola backdrops for Workbench.
