What am I doing wrong? I installed MagicWB (automatic installation) and NickPrefs as per doc file instructions and it sure looks GREAT! :v)) – but WBPicture (namely Marble_Classic) I can't get to work! :v(( The window comes on okay, I can select a pattern file, but the only thing I get when clicking 'Test', 'Use' or 'Save' is a short flash of the disk icons on the Workbench screen and that was that. I then deleted the wb.pat and window.pat files in env-arc but still to no avail. After having seen the screenshot I'VE GOT TO HAVE MARBLE!!! (Sob!) I run an A2000C with Kickstart 37.175 and Workbench 37.67 (= OS 2.04) with a flicker fixer and MERLIN board respectively – the normal WBPattern is working with both, WBPicture with none. Also, I would perhaps like to use MagicWB in 16 color mode (as it said in the docs 'proportional mode with at least 8 colours' – so it should look even better with 16 colours?) – which palette should I use then? I've seen the MARBLE_Classic picture in the 2.0-Patterns directory uses 4 bitplanes (= 16 colours) but the MagicWB icons look just plain awful when I switch WB Screen mode to 16 colours… :v( // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.06………..
