CHAMELEON IS THE ONLY WINDOWS PROGRAM LAUNCHER/MENUING SYSTEM TO GIVE YOU
FOUR **VISUAL** FORMATS TO CHOOSE FROM. CHANGE FORMATS ON THE FLY. SPICE UP
YOUR MENUS WITH A SET OF FIVE MENU FRAME TYPES AND FIVE MENU BACKGROUND
PATTERNS. VERY CONFIGURABLE.
INCLUDES A BUILT IN GRAPHICAL MENU EDITOR TO MAKE CONFIGURATION A BREEZE.
THE EDITOR EVEN HAS ITS OWN INTERNAL CLIPBOARD WHICH SUPPORTS OPERATIONS
SUCH AS CUT, COPY, APPEND AND PASTE. EASILY AND QUICKLY EDIT YOUR MENUS
IN A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT.
Chameleon is a small, elegant, graphical, configurable popup menu system
for Microsoft Windows 3.1. Chameleon may be used either as the shell or as
a helper utility for another shell.
Chameleon Version 1.10 major features:
* A popup menu interface which allows you very fast access to program
launching facilities from any application in Windows 3.1, even
MAXIMIZED applications, without hogging your desktop. All this power is
ONE mouse click away. Less mouse clicks = greater productivity.
* Open ended group tree structure. Infinitely nest your groups. Add
as many items and groups as you please. The only limit is your computer
system's memory.
* A complete, graphical Menu Editor with bitmapped toolbar and helpful
status line, to facilitate configuration of your launchable items. No clumsy
and cumbersome text files or INI files to edit with Notepad. The editor also
has a fully functional internal clipboard which allows such actions as "cut,"
"copy," "paste," and "append." The menu tree structure is displayed in a
visually pleasing hierarchical format much like File Manager's interface
for displaying your disks' directory tree. In a word, the editor is COMPLETE.
* Drag and Drop addition of items to your menu makes configuration a breeze.
* Ingenious system for changing the interface format of the menu on the fly.
You may choose from four different menu types, according to your preferences.
Choose from an industrial standard menu that's light on system resources,
to a 3-D icon based menu with titles. The point is you decide how much or how
little resources you care to spend on the utility, and you decide which visual
format you prefer. Even the type of frame Chameleon draws around each menu
item may be configured to your taste. Also select from a range of five patterns
to use when drawing the menu background.(Your menus never looked so good)
* Rich launching features that allow you to specify the executable's working
directory, arguments to be passed to the executable, and files to be passed
to the executable via the Common Dialog Box Library. Specify multiple file
extensions to look for when launching an application.
* System Options allows you to specify such system attributes as Windows Help
Colors, Load and Run lines, Windows Shell, Windows System Font, Icon Title Font
and Windows Task Manager.
* Resource items give you a great visualization of your system's resource usage,
including your default hard drive.
* Built-in Task Switching. Forget about <CTRL>+<ESC> just hit the right mouse
button, select Chameleon Options | Active Tasks you and have a list of all tasks
running. Select from the list and Chameleon switches to that task.
* Association Manager applet allows you to add and remove file associations to
increase the flexibilty of program launching.
* Window Options gives you power over the desktop. Tile active windows
horizontally or vertically, cascade active windows, and arrange desktop icons
all with Window Options.
* Exit Options affords choices of different ways to exit Windows. Perform a safe
reboot from inside Windows 3.1. Exit the Windows 3.1 environment, execute an
MS-DOS command like "chkdsk /f" and restart Windows all with one command.
Do a fast restart of Windows after changing elements of "system.ini" or "win.ini."
* Quick exit from Windows, no questions asked.
* Add new Program Manager groups to your menu as you install new software
packages. Edit and change these new PM groups to your taste using the graphical
Menu Editor. Keeps your menu current.
