An ordinary text file is magically transformed into an AGuide file. At first I only had that text sheet, the AGuide window and the small arrow. Later I added the cross over the text file and the magic sparkles. So it became a real MagicWB icon. For more information refer to this chapter: The 'AGW' drawer..
The 'AGW' icon.
A reproduction of an icon supplied together with 'QuarterbackTools'.
The 'Brain Cloud' icon.
The explanation of this icon has actually allready been given. If you'd like to read it again then click this button · . That explanation is just the same except that this icon is bigger and that we first see three books and after clicking we see four.
The 'CatEdit' icon.
With this program I used to fix 'broken' disks manually. (Just to show off, I do know completely how to work with this program.) It is the same as 'DiskSalv' but this one doesn't work automatically. It shows a disk in blocks, headers etc. which you can edit with the keyboard. I have taken the 'ShowConfig' icon in the SYS:Tools drawer, erased the chips and replaced them with some binary numbers. The 'DISCovery' was born!
The 'DISCovery' icon.
Another reproduction of an icon supplied together with 'QuarterbackTools'.
The 'Disk Eraser' icon.
A disk, sadly, helplessly in the water... But after a brief click it ends up on a beach, still wet but much happier. Our disk is salvaged! P.S.: Also see: The 'DiskSalv' drawer..
The 'DiskSalv' icon.
'DOSTrace' traces every icon, file byte etc. which is opened by a program. It's very handy for debugging purposes or to find out why a program doesn't work with your configuration. The icon is exactly the same as the window opened by the program, only smaller.
The 'DOSTrace' icon.
Well... We see a hard disk on this icon, but when we click it, it becomes encrypted. So we still see something that looks like a hard disk, yet we can't tell for sure what it is.
The 'Encryptor' icon.
Yeah... Sure... Guessed right... A reproduction of an icon supplied together with 'QuarterbackTools'.
The 'File Eraser' icon.
Another reproduction. The icon is the same as the original, I just repainted it as a MagicWB icon. Worked out pretty well, don't you think? Also refer to the following chapter: The 'FinalWriter' drawer..
The 'FinalWriter' icon.
This is a quicky, thus not that good. It shows a database and when clicked one specific file comes up; that's all.
The 'FinalData' icon.
Fixdisk is one of the first programs which were able to fix disks themselves. So no manually editing anymore! For the creation of the icon I took a disk which suffered from severe meltdown. (I left it too long on the cental heating to dry, after it fell in a pond 8).) Since 'FixDisk' is supposed to fix disks, it should be able to fix this one too, I thought. And indeed, with a little magic and a click of the left mousebutton, the disk is restored back to its original state.
The 'FixDisk' icon.
'FreeSpace' is a tiny program which shows the percentage free on all mounted volumes, and pours this into a nice bar graph. The icon gives a pretty good idea of what the program looks like and what it does. Simply because it's exactly the same as the program itself, only smaller.
The 'FreeSpace' icon.
I must say I don't like this icon too much. This is supposed to be a wobbly gel mass, which expands when clicked. A very simple explanation of a decrunch routine.
The 'GelDecruncher' icon.
The idea is that the giant hard disk-chip gets installed in your system at bootup. Your computer is then, normally, provided with electricity and so will that chip be when clicked and when installed 8). "We have a connection captain!" - Geordy LaForge Additional information: The 'GigaMem' drawer., The 'GigaMem' icon. and The 'GigaMemPrefs' icon..
The 'GigaMem-Startup' icon.
As said before 'GigaMem' combines your memory with your hard disk. Just to be sure we'll make the addition to see how I came to that magic chip: one small chip and a small hard disk equals a big chip combined with still the same small hard disk. Stunned, huh? More information is found in the following chapters: The 'GigaMem' drawer., The 'GigaMem-Startup' icon. and The 'GigaMemPrefs' icon..
The 'GigaMem' icon.
This is one more reproduction of the old icon. I again repainted it into a real MagicWB icon and... You've just got to admit it... It does look nice.
The 'GuiArc' icon.
A reproduction... Is that sufficient? If not click here: · .
The 'HandyDMS' icon.
Hmmm... Indeed... It looks very much like the old one, except that it has a magic undertone, don't you think? I'll be honest, it's a reproduction.
The 'Imploder' icon.
Again a reproduction of an icon supplied together with 'QuarterbackTools'.
The 'Keystroke Finder' icon.
Hmmm... Indeed... A a reproduction of an icon supplied together with... Guess with what... 'QuarterbackTools' naturally.
The 'Locator' icon.
'Mod2Smp' swallows a 'ProTracker' module, chews it and spits one of the, by user selected, patterns out as a sample. It's very useful to make beats. I guess the icon will explain itself now.
The 'Mod2Smp' icon.
This is a reproduction, not as clear as the original icon though. We see a monitor with a small screen on it. When clicked this screen is promoted to fill the entire monitor. That's exactly what 'NewMode' does, the promoting of EVERY screen that is opened to a user definable resolution. You can refer to this chapter for additional information: The 'NewMode' drawer..
The 'NewMode' icon.
(Sigh) ... ... ... A reproduction... Again... There'll come some more, I can tell ya!
The 'QB FKeys' icon.
See, what'd I tell ya? Hmmm? Yep, this is one of them... Reproduction... 'QuarterbackTools'...
The 'QB Macros' icon.
This is a reproduction of the original icon. I guess you know by now what that means. Well, I must say, I never paid much attention to this icon but now I've got it figured out. I never knew what that football was doing there, now I know. Quarterback is a term from the American-football sport. Hey, creating MagicWB icons isn't so bad, you know!
The 'Quarterback' icon.
I guess it'll never stop... Another stupid reproduction.
The 'QuarterbackTools' icon.
A screen is grabbed and when clicked saved to the disk. Nice, hey? Additional info: The 'QuickGrab' drawer.
The 'QuickGrab' icon.
It's the same explanation as the 'ReOrg' drawer icon, except that the magic from MagicWB is used here to reorganize the disk to a shiny new one.
The 'ReOrg' icon.
And them reproductions keep on coming.
The 'Replicator' icon.
I'll never stop reproducing if the icons are good enough.
The 'Schedule Pro' icon.
'SnoopDos' snoops almost everything that is opened by the disk operating system. The icon is the same as the window opened by 'SnoopDos'.
The 'SnoopDos' icon.
Aha! Finally... This is NO reproduction. I made this one up myself. We see a small hard disk and a big hard disk. Normally your SYS: partition is the smallest, so the small hard disk represents the 'System'. When we give this icon a click, an arrow pops up meaning that the system will be moved to another (bigger) hard disk. Nice huh...
The 'System Mover' icon.
A fine reproduction of the old dull icon.
The 'TranslateCatEdit' icon.
A traditional icon. A hard disk with a video tape. When clicked another video tape appears, representing another finished backup. Refer to chapter The 'VBS' drawer. for more information.
The 'VBS' icon.
Amother incredibly cool reproduction; looks much nicer than the original one, if I do say so myself.
The 'XCopy' icon.
