Today I’m happy to announce that I’m (finally) releasing my custom Workbench icons to the world for whoever might want them.

Yeah, I know. It’s about 30 years too late to ever get much use, but there might be one or two people out there that might like to use a couple of these on their machines today. Whenever I showed one of my creations in the recent past there was always one person who asked me if they could download it for themselves. Well, now those that want them can.
In order to use these Workbench icons, you must have a system running Workbench 1.3 in the original blue palette. You can of course run them in a gray (2.0+) environment, but they won’t look good at all. In fact, they’ll look a lot like photographic negatives, where dark colors become light and vice versa. The colors would have to be completely remapped.
In any case there are 5 icon types that can potentially be created in Workbench 1.3:
In my icon set I only focused on the first three types listed above.
The following are the icons you will find in the package:
Disks
Drawers
Tools
(Note: the colors were difficult to replicate verbatim using photography. Each icon has two states. The examples below show their primary, non-clicked state.)

I’m calling this set “1.3a” in case I ever create more in the future (like a Trashcan, other Tools, etc.).
In the video above I explain how to apply these icons to your own machines one by one. There is no “installer package” or script, just the original icon files. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And I will see about adding them to Aminet, too, in the very near future.
Feel free to ask me any questions, and I hope you enjoy them! And if the video inspires any of you to create your own icons, let’s see them!

UPDATE
In the original package I forgot to include the Games.info icon. You can get the Games Icon right here.

In any case there are 5 icon types that can potentially be created in Workbench 1.3:
- Disks (hard disks, partition roots)
- Drawers (folders/directories)
- Tools (executable programs you can launch)
- Projects (Data Files)
- Trashcans
