Ok... This evening I didn't know what to do, so I decided to take a snapshot of
my WB and to upload it on Aminet. The result is in that archive...
I spend lot of time on my Amiga, so I set up my WB very well: it's at the same
time very practical, nice-to-be-seen and powerfull :)
Important note: in the archive, you'll find two images of my workbench: one is
in 1024x768 size (real one), and the other is in 640x480... i rescaled the image
in the desperate try to make Gabriele Favrin understand that AGA rulez no more,
and that CyberGFX doesn't suck... He still think that an AGA Pal 640x512
interlaced screen (how many hertz ????) is better and faster than a CyberGFX
1024x768 screen.... I can't really understand him :)
Gabriele: have a look at the 640x480 image, and tell me what do you know think
about AGA... :)
In the screenshot, you'll be able to see some interesting commodities and patch,
some of them are quiet unknow.. so here is the list :
- The background picture ("The survivor") is, of course, by Eric Schwartzy
- The toolbar in the right-up corner is ATB (AmiToolBar), by Daniel Balster.
IMHO it's much more nice-viewing than Toolmanager, it steals less screenspace
than ToolManager and it uses MUI. The problem is that ATB is a bit nasty to be
configure, and some times it make some Enforcer HIT (but never a GURU).
- The two little eyes on the ScreenBar are by MagicEYE
- The colors of the windows, the gadget in the right 1:1 ratio and some other
important patches are by VisualPrefs and FullPalette, both by Massimo
Tantiglione, both in betatesting.
- A nice FBY moduled is being played by HippoPlayer (the HippoScope window and
the little window under ATB)
- CyberGrab grabbed the picture
- CyberShow was showing the "Low counter award" of my home page :)
- MUIMore is my textviewer, wich was showing a Latin translated text and his
Search window.
- The menus are by MagicMenu II, and the nice image inside of it are by
PictureMenu.
- The trashcan in the right-bottom corner is by BenchTrash
- The sample (red on black) on the right is showed by Multiview, via sound
datatypes (very cool patch found on Aminet, which will make you able to see
the waveform)
- NewIcons patch is running, and all my icons are by the ProIcons collection
- The CD of Dires Straits is showed by Idefix97 & Asim FS
- The BigMac volume is mounted by CrossMac Filesystem, which I installed on
the RDB of the harddisk, so that "BigMac:" is avaiable also when I boot
from disk or whithout Startup-sequence. I use that volume under ShapeShifter,
of course :)
The icon is a Macintosh icon, which I translated to NewIcons format using
another great Daniel Balster's program: Mac2NI.
- In the left-bottom corner is running TinyMeter
- Last, but not least, in the right you can see a little CPU Meter BeOS like..
it's a program on which I'm working: the GUI is FULL ready, but I have to
code the CPU-busy-detection routine. Probably I'll do it via Executive.
Here it's a list of other utilisies-patch that you could'nt see, but that
was running:
- Arq 1.83, the requester improver.... it should be updated, because the
requesters are a bit outlooked...
- CaBoom, GREAT commmodity that change the opening-window routine, makeing
it very cool, with explosion like Aron under Macintosh, but much more
configurable
- Executive, scheduling my 62 taskes :)
- HDSleep
- MCP & PowerSnap: I couldn't live without them !
- SwazInfo: Patches the Information window of wb, making it more powerfull.
I run lots of patch&commodites on my system, but it still be very stable,
because I tried all the patches one week before leaving them installed.
