Silicon Menus V1.0 (30-Aug-92) by Greg Cunningham
(Remember: CTRL-ALT-S)
Silicon menus is another "pop up" or "tear off" type menu system for all
programs which use standard system menus.
This program was designed to enhance the looks of AmigaOS 2.0 in an area which
CBM seemed to blow off. There were no changes since 1.0!
The menus will hopefully look good with any 2.0 aware program, but will
probably look reversed with any of the older software. It somehow makes
Imagine more readable, in my opinion. :-/ (No, I used LightWave for SM)
The features are about the same as all of the other PopMenu type programs:
Standard pull-down menues will appear if the pointer is in the screen's
menubar.
You may select if the menus should pop-up when you are holding a qualifier
key down. (SHIFT, ALT, CTRL, AMIGA)
The "Iris menus" option is a stay-up-without-holding-the-menu-button like
"Click menus" in the others, but more like the Silicon Graphics OS where it
acts like you are holding it down. (Or like Windows, if you're more familiar
with that)
The subitem arrow option shows an arrow so you can see which menus have
submenus.
The center menus option centers menus vertically.
Hot-key options window when CTRL-ALT-S is pressed.
Running the program from the shell:
> Run SiliconMenus [-option] [-option] ....
Options:
-H Help text
-I Enable Iris (tm) Menus.
-A Turn off sub-item arrows.
-C Center item windows.
-Q pop-up menus only with qualifier pressed.
-W No initial window.
-Kx Set hot-key [A-Z]. (default is 'S')
-X Exit Silicon Menus.
-D Turn off double border. Double: Like the borders around windows
Running the program from the Workbench: (The best way)
First set the ToolTpyes. These are your options.
IRISMENUS=ON/OFF Enable/Disable Iris menus mode.
SUBARROW=ON/OFF Enable/Disable display of subitem arrows.
CENTER=ON/OFF Display menus vertically centered.
QUAL=ON/OFF Standard menus if ALT, SHIFT, AMIGA, or CTRL are
not pressed.
WINDOW=ON/OFF Enable/Disable op
