Workbench 3.1 Guide 12/12 - Looking at Multi colour Icons - by LemonAmiga.com
30To end this series of guides, I thought it might be fun to check out some of the multi coloured icons out there on the Aminet. Word of warning: installing icons the wrong way can make programs unable to run.

Thanks everyone for following this series. It was totally unplanned, and unrehearsed, and everything was recorded live. As with my previous guide entries, this one went a bit wrong, as installing new icons over the old ones can make the applications fail to run. So this is mostly a visual tour of the icons out there. If you use IconEdit like in the previous videos, the icons will be limited to 8 colours, so you'd need to find a proper installer or icon editor which can handle 16 colour icons first.
From this point, you could perhaps install a 'Start Bar' and 'Task Bar' (AmiDock) to Workbench, as well as MCP (from the Workbench Tools video), MUI and also the mouse wheel tool I showed you in the Tools video. Assign X is also a good idea to have in the startup-sequence, and the error trap tool within MCP - which means you can use a button to jump a failed line in the boot code of a program without having to Suspend the whole task. Lastly, Snoopdos is also an essential tool, which can be used to diagnose an issue when running a program which normally reports and error or crashes. This tool will show you which files the task is looking for, e.g. missing fonts, devs, tools, assigns etc. I may to a video on this at some point, but as the games reviews are now 4 months behind schedule due to having my back teeth pulled out, it is perhaps unlikely to appear anytime soon.
Hopefully these guides have helped people to understand some of the things we can do with Workbench, which means when things to wrong (which they often do) its possible to look under the hood and fix up those problems.
