- So what is this AWSM stuff ? For now only do a PointerX hack but, for
- my known its the only one to have a hires animated pointer in AGA
- machines.
-
- How did i did it ? simple:
- by using timer.device i check an internal list (made by AWSM) for
- windows that are in busy state. if so i call the original function
- SetWindowPointerA() with a new frame of the pointer anim.
- The frames are allocated with NewObject() of class "pointerclass", so
- they can be in hires !!! Amazing no ??? for me it is :)
-
- now, the program has some serius bugs so i need some one experienced
- help, if so please email-me for more info.
-
- Another thing, put PatchPointer (*) in your WBStartup so awsm can patch
- pre 3.x programs that do Busy Pointers.
-

-
-
- (*) PatchPointer its available at aminet in ????
- sorry forgot in wich directory ... you should find it easy!

- AWSM will also incorporate later :
-
- Fvwm alike Screen Management like:
- Opaque Move,
- X style Window move,
- Screen Scrolling and selecting of Windows in a small Window user
- defined,
- etc etc ...
