Mark's Magic Icons 1.0 ====================== RELEASE DATE Version 1.0 13th Mar 1995 INTRODUCTION I am one of the many fellow Amiga users who use Martin Huttenloher's fantastic "MagicWB" icons and fonts instead of the plain old boring Commodore Workbench icons and semi-unreadable fonts. Ever since version 1.0 of MagicWB, I have been searching local BBS's for more and more of these icons created by other MagicWB users. Through my search of these BBS's I have also collected a lot of other files without MagicWB icons (can you believe that!?) So I recently decided to have a go at designing some of these MagicWB icons myself... and here's the result in this archive. I must admit though, I did not draw all of the icons myself! I simply cut-and-paste bits and pieces from other MagicWB icons to create a lot of my icons, but they turned out pretty well (I think). However I did draw some of them so hopefully you'll like them enough to use on your MagicWB! I recently gained full SLIP access to the Internet and so now my search for more MagicWB collections has expanded all over the WORLD!! So far two of the BEST collections I've come across have come from two people - Roman Patzer's "RomIcons" series and Jan-Tore Eliassen's "JTEMWB" series. I think they both set the standard for all of us other "try-hard" MagicWB designers and they also provide a good source of ideas to steal... er, um, borrow!? (suck-job complete ;-) I was going to release this collection of MagicWV icons a lot earlier but I was eagerly awaiting to receive my "Registered" version of MagicWB V2.0 so that delayed this release. CONTENTS This is my second release of MagicWB (but the first release was only a minor release so those icons are also included in this archive too). The majority of icons in this release are Imagedrawers because they are easy to draw, and take less time to create! I like them, I hope you like them too! A lot of the icons and imagedrawers are also repeats of the same thing but changed slightly, so hopefully there's at least one you'll like enough to use! There is also quite a few animbrushes for use with ToolManager which I very quickly made up 1 day before release. I hope you like these especially because they have a marble background effect rather than the MagicWB style background. I found the background in another collection of ToolManager brushes 1 day before my release, and I think they make the ToolManager deck look very professional!
