                           LickePalettes v.1.0

                  by       :  Carl Licke (Eskilstuna, Sweden)
                  e-mail me:  gunnar.licke@swipnet.se
                  my URL   :  http://home2.swipnet.se/~w-24653/
                             (^-soon to get better with more Amiga!)

  16 nice and new palettes for MagicWorkbench with "background-support"!
  It also includes a little script to choose a random palette everytime
  you boot your computer (or start the script from a Cron or
  Reminder-program every ten minutes :-).
  This script makes it possible to use all MWB backgrounds (maybe dockimages
  too depending on what dockprogram you use and when you start it)
  if you follow the installation procedure.

  Updates (maybe prefs-program) coming in the future and I want to do
  a program that changes the palettes smoooooothly (somebody want to help me
  with that? then mail me cause I'm lazy and not to good with programming
  that sort of stuff).
  This is free/palette-ware: e-mail a GOOD MWBpalette to me if you use this.

                      Enjoy the palettes (and visit my homepage.....  ;-)


Installation:
  1.Unarchive the LHA-file.
  2.Copy the contents of 'c/' (rand, sorry, I don't know where it came from)
    to somewhere in your path.
  3.Copy the contents of 'palettes/' to your 'sys:prefs/presets/'.
  4.Copy the contents of 'wbstartup/' to your 'sys:wbstartup/'.
  5.Set the Workbench palette prefs to 'sys:prefs/presets/ClassicMWB'
    (nothing other, 'ClassicMWB' is not exactly the same as the standard)
    That should make the most backgrounds look better.
    (atleast if the background is loaded before the script changes the
    palette, it shouldn't be any problems if you use wbstartup-drawer)
  6.Reboot.
  7.If it doesn't work when you reboot, you may edit the script.

  (maybe I'll make use of the installer next time)


Problems:
  1.The dock-images for MWB -MAY- look ugly with new palettes.
  2.The 'spring.palette' may cause some backgrounds to look ugly.


Solutions:
  1.Some programs have options to prevent this (i.e. Toolmanager).
    If you still have problems, this may help:
      Load the image into a colormapped paintprogram (DPaint, PPaint...).
      Somehow get the new palette into the paintprogram.
      Save the image with the new palette.
  2.Replace the palette-file with another palette with the same filename.


Also:
  You should only edit the COLORS of my palette-files cause:
  if you edit the pens for one file then Workbench will redraw the
  screen and windows when the script changes to that palette.
  Then Workbench will reload the background and remap it's palette
  (this is what we don't want because the background will look ugly).
  This can be avoided through changing all pen-settings to your
  new settings... :-)


Tested with:
  A1200/EC030/50Mhz/OS(3.0|3.1)


Remember:
  I have no responsibility for what these evil palettes may cause you :-)
