- VisualPrefs 1.2 (18.10.97) by Massimo Tantignone
-
- VisualPrefs is a patch which allows you to customize with great freedom
- many aspects of the look of the Amiga GUI.
-
- If you do want to see for yourself what VisualPrefs is able to do, just
- take a look at the preview image supplied with this archive.
-
- Using a comfortable preferences editor, you can configure many details like:
-
- · different light/dark colors for active or inactive windows edges
- · the thickness of all four window borders (also with system gadgets)
- · the height of window/screen titlebars regardless of the font height used
- · the system gadgets style (also for MUI/KingCON/ClassAct titlebar gadgets)
- · the exact look of the BOOPSI and GadTools 3D frames
- · the look of GadTools proportional gadgets
- · the position of window titles (centered in dragbar or in whole titlebar)
- · the fill color of inactive window borders
-
- ... and also other interesting things. By the way, VisualPrefs contains all
- the functionality (and more) of my previous patches Prop3D and CenterTitles.
-
- You can configure individually the GUI of each different screen opened
- by your applications, as well as define a global GUI look.
-
- I know there are other programs doing some of this, but none of them has
- all the features offered by VisualPrefs.
-
- This program is shareware.
-
- ***************************************************************
- Note: This patch works even better when used together with the
- "FullPalette" program, which is also on Aminet, currently
- as util/wb/FullPalette18.lha (but the number may change).
- ***************************************************************
-
- Changes from the previous Aminet release (1.0a):
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- · The patch for the ClassAct iconify gadget didn't work with the latest
- release of ClassAct. Now this is fixed.
-
- · Now VisualPrefs patches DirOpus 5.5+ titlebar gadgets. Only tried it
- with Magellan, but it should work also with previous releases. Hope you
- like the new "padlock" image...
-
- · Now you can choose to install a 68020/030 or 68040/060 version of
- VisualPrefs and GUI.
-
- · Some optimizations to the code of certain patches.
-
- · No more crashes with MUI "screen close" gadgets.
-
- · The screen titlebar doesn't get corrupted anymore under CyberGraphX 3
- with the SUPERLAYERS option on.
-
- · The GUI editor now correctly fills the bottom scroller's hole in the
- preview area if you select the "Fill recessed areas..." option.
-
- · Now the GUI editor allows for fonts with an height smaller than 7
- pixels; the new limit is 5 pixels.
-
- · GadTools arrow gadgets didn't get patched if their width or height was
- smaller than 10 pixels; now the limit is 9 pixels.
-
- · The image of CheckBox gadgets sometimes did overwrite part of the
- border.
-
- · Added a workaround for a bug in the V39 gadtools.library concerning the
- displaying of the contents of number gadgets. Hope it works!
-
- · The "Global" menu is now correctly updated when you select "Last saved"
- from the "Edit" menu.
-
- · The rendering of MUI titlebar gadgets should now be somewhat faster.
-
- · Added a patch for MagicMenu 2.19+ allowing to vertically center the
- menu titles in the screen bar.
-
- · Added the possibility to inhibit the use of the Template.
-
- · Added public "tbiclass" image class for use by programs such as ViNCEd
- (starting with ViNCEd 3.53; previously it was "iconifyimageclass").
