- CoolBrowser Release 2 by Christian Buchner
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Changes since Release 1:
-
- - Repainted the IBrowse and AWeb animations. They look smoother now.
- - Fixed a problem with the anim installation script for IBrowse.
- - Added a Voyager 2.0NG transfer animation
-
-
- So what's this?
- ---------------
-
- This is a set of TransferAnimations for the most common Amiga Web browsers:
- IBrowse, AWeb II and Voyager 2.0NG. You will soon notice the similarity to
- the original Netscape (TM) transfer animations. ;-)
-
- In fact I downloaded an AnimGIF of the original Netscape animation and
- worked several hours to remove the "N" and replace it with my own
- creations. I have added the original background animation so you can add
- your own logo.
-
- The transfer animations are provided in multiple sizes. They use 16 colors.
-
- Normal 30 x 30 small size for 1:1 pixel ratio
- Big 60 x 60 large size
- Wide 60 x 30 for HighRes screens
- High 30 x 60 for LowRes Lace screens (see my IBrowse screenshot)
-
- I have also included a button set for AWeb-II 2.2. The Hotlist and Status
- buttons still require some painting (currently it's only text). The button
- set is based on the "FabImages" set by Fabien Wernly. And these are ripped
- from Netscape. ;-)
-
- The AWeb-II button set also exists as a slim LO version for LowRes screens.

-
- About the screen shots
- ----------------------
-
- So why should one use a LowRes screen for surfing? Well, there are people
- who only have an ECS chipset in their Amiga. I have created a small
- program that even uses a LowRes ExtraHalfbrite screen with a fixed base
- palette. For maximum image quality, this requires some extra tweaking with
- the system color routines. This is a hack and will not be released. But
- nevertheless you can have a look at some screen shots. Please notice the
- palette window at the bottom which shows all 64 colors. Soon I will have a
- Picasso II+ board, so this LowRes stuff won't bother me any more. ;-)
