Overview
========

Several people have released their own icon sets to the public.
There is even one shareware package, MagicWB, with lots of
good-looking icons in its own style and palette. Many authors
use the MagicWB look these days.

MagicWB is nice, but I don't want to use it; partly because it is
shareware, and partly because I want a more Spartan look on my Workbench
- I find my own colouring scheme less straining to my eyes.

These are the features of my workbench:

x	I want selected icons easily distinguishable on the screen. Therefore,
	the selected ones to appear somewhat darker. I also put a yellow spot
	on most of them. Sounds strange but looks OK.

x	The icons are rather small to save screen space.

x	The icons are best suited for screens with square pixels, like
	640x512 or 800x600.

x	The icons use 8 colours. Most are grey. They go:
	0 standard background grey
	1 black
	2 white
	3 grey, darker than 5 but brighter than 4
	4 dark grey
	5 grey, darker than 0
	6 unused
	7 bright yellow for cursors etc.
	The MagicWB icons look reasonably good with my palette,
	and so does my icons MagicWB's palette.

	I guess I should remap my icons to a more MagicWB-compatible
	palette.

x	I use an icon for my hard disks that looks like the frontpiece
	of my Amiga, with the hard disk LED.

x	There's a special RAM disk icon. If you want to use it,
	you have to store it on your boot disk and copy it to
	RAM:Disk.info from your startup sequence.

x	There's a def_kick icon for unformatted and MS-DOS disks.

x	The def_tool and def_project icons look ugly, I admit that.

x	There are also a bunch of pointer images that I made. Most
	of them are high-res, and so need an AGA or better Amiga.
	I think the semi-transparent busy pointer is rather cool ;-)


Use what you like and trash the rest.
