- A lot of things have changed since the last release of PowerWB. Read the
- documentation carefully before trying to use the new version. I suggest
- to remove the old PowerWB stuff from your HD (user-startup entry, too),
- first.
-
- Although I did not want to make a prefs program before V1.0, you get it
- already with this release. It needs MUI and I'm afraid it might not work
- on OS 2.x. Please let me know. You might find it also a little bit big.
- This is because a great deal of it is based on PrefsAttack (from Power-
- Windows) and I have done everything in a great hurry.
-
- Last minute:
- ============
-
- o There's a demo config file in the "PowerWB/Presets". The standard config
- file sets everything to be like in older versions of PowerWB.
-
- o There's a cool Iconify icon in "PowerWB/Icons". If you want PowerWBPrefs
- to use this icon, when you iconify it, you have to make an "Icons"
- directory in the directory where you have copied PowerWBPrefs to and
- copy the .info file there.
-
- o The documentation has some links to images in the "Images" directory. If
- during installation you have copied PowerWB.guide in another directory
- and still want the image links to work you have to copy the "Images"
- directory to the same location.
-
- o In "Tools" there's a small program which can be used to quit PowerWB.
- This utility will not be installed by the installation script.
-
- o The MUI layout engine is sometimes really strange. I tried very hard but
- was not able to get the vertical GUI sizing work correctly, therefore
- vertical sizing is actually not possible. I want the listviews in the
- "Shortcuts" and "Gadgets" page to grow, when I resize the window, but
- the only things that grow are the RectangleObjects (I have tried to place
- them at any position you can imagine) ... help!!!!
-
- Another strange thing is that, when I have a GUI which is actually re-
- sizable horizontally, and then add one object that has a fixed width
- to one of the pages (which are part of MUIA_Group_PageMode group) then
- the window stops from being resizable (in horizontal direction). Is the
- layout engine really meant to work this way, or am I doing something
- wrong?

- PS: Accessing of the PowerWB directory here will only work after having
- read this text. If you have done that but still get "Access Denied"
- error messages, select "Window/Update" ("Fenster/Aktualisieren" -
- "Finestre/Aggiornare") from the Workbench menu and try again ...
