*** WHAT'S NEW? -THIS IS! ***
Found the author of the Amiga pattern and I owe him some credits:
The Amigapattern is made by Daniel Nyberg:
Email: daniel@dalnet.se
WWW: http://www.dalnet.se/~daniel
If you use his pattern on a Webpage or just generally love it, I know he'd
appreciate you telling him about it!
There's also new arrowimages with rounded corners otherwise similar to the
original ones.
Also included up to date prefsfile and up to date snapshots.
*** WHAT'S NEW? -THAT WAS IT! ***
*** DESCRIPTION ***
The archive was originally put together as a quick response to several requests
on my previously uploaded WB snaps, like where did you get that pattern kind of
questions!
This archive contains some replacement MUI images and patterns.
The arrow buttons and the cyclegadget image is in the future/flat style found in
VisualPrefs (also found on Aminet) by Massimo Tantignone but use the Xen-alike
gradients as background (only the arrowbut's). Another thing is that the
arrowbuttons are really square (18x18) and not false square like 18x16 or
something.
The checkmark and radiobutton images are an attempt to copy the only great thing
with Win95/NT(Ouch!), their checkmark and radiobuttons, that is! I have to say
though that I was inspired by that "shitlips" archive also found on Aminet, but
those images has no white background, as in Win95/NT. These images looks great
on webpages in IBrowse or VNG.
There's also a font in this archive called NewRecall and I use it as MUI group
label font and button font. I don't know where I got this font from but respect
to the author because I really love it. I hope the author doesn't mind me
including it in this archive.
You should know about the Xhelvetica by now, but in case not, I've included
it as well, just to make this package complete.
Pattern number 1 is the widely used Amigapattern found on numorous Webpages and
I've just made copies of it in different shades so it looks good both as button,
lister and group backdrops.
Pattern number 2 is originally some flames pattern I've found somewhere. I have
converted it to red in three different shades and I use it as Marker background
in the lister and as button background in the pressed state.
I have also included some snapshots of my MUIPrefs window to give you an idea of
how it looks like with my setup. (And yes, the fabulous "windowborder enhancment"
is VisualPrefs by Massimo Tantignone, up and running).
You may also want to have a look at my WB snapshots found on Aminet as:

or on the WWW with thumbnails at:

*** INSTALLATION ***
After unpacking the archive somewhere:
Copy the contents of the Images drawer to MUI:Images.
Copy the contents of the Patterns drawer to MUI:Patterns.
Copy the contents of the Presets drawer to MUI:Presets
Copy the contents of the Fonts drawer to your systems Fonts: drawer.
Start your MUI prefsprogram and reconfigure the images and patterns you want
replaced. I think the arrowbuttons looks best in cooperation with the
XEN-gradient images in the original MUI archive.
To test the whole package, danm stylee, load the danm.prefs preset from the
presets drawer!!!
