- Sorry, the prefsfile somehow did't make it into the archive last time!
- Here it is now and some new images too, for the popupbuttons.
-
- *** WHAT'S NEW? -THIS IS! ***
-
- Prefsfile now included for easy testing. Thanx Kirk for pointing this out!
- Also included Xhelvetica font, in case you've missed it (yeah... right!).
-
- I appologize for any inconvinience. The archive was 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!
-
- *** WHAT'S NEW? -THAT WAS IT! ***
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- 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. This applies to the new popupimages too, it's just that their corners
- are rounded like the buttonframe style I use in MUI prefs and they're also in size
- 19x19!
-
- 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. I don't know where I got this font from but respect to the author
- because I really love it. I use it as my screenfont too and I hope the author
- doesn't mind me including it in this archive.
-
- You'll should know about the Xhelvetica by now, but in case not, I've included
- it as well.
-
- 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 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 up and running).
-
- You may also want to have a look at my WB snapshots found on Aminet as:
- pix/wb/danm_Dopebench.lha
- or on the WWW with thumbnails at:

- INSTALLATION
-
- *** NEW! ***
-
- 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.
-
- Now you have to reboot your system (at least I have to) in order to make MUI
- understand that there's a new drawer in it's images drawer! There should be a
- really clever or simple solution to this without having to reboot, but I haven't
- bothered to figure it out yet! Then 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!!!
