- Title : Memicon V0.48a
- OS : 3.5+
- Requires: 68020 or above.
-
- Idea:
- Well after installing OS3.9 and removing the WB title bar I began to miss
- the memory display. So I thought I'd throw my own Memory display
- together as an icon (and make it user configurable and font sensitive).
-
- I decided to also follow the OS3.5/3.9 method of displaying Memory.
- So out with the old:
-
- "2621440 bytes free" and in with the more compact and readable "2.5MB"
-
- Much better :)
-
- Usage:
- Double Click from Workbench.
-
- ToolTypes (in Alphabetical Order):
- BACK_COL=0xRRGGBB - Hex Number representing the RED / GREEN and BLUE colour values.
- BACKGROUND=(TRUE or FALSE) - Turns Background Fill in On.
- BORDER=(SINGLE/DOUBLE or FALSE) - Put a cheap Border around the Display.
- BORDER_MV = Size of Vertical Margin.
-
- CENTERTEXT=(TRUE or FALSE) - Centert Text Horizontally?
-
- FONT="Font Face" - Specify a font type. (Do not add to '.font' extention)
- FONT_SIZE=Size of font.
-
- OVERHEAD=(ECO,LOW,MED,NORMAL,HIGH) - Generally values on the right will give
- a quicker Clock and Memory Update (See Below).
-
- POS_X=(Icon X position).
- POS_Y=(Icon Y position).
-
- SHOWCHIP=(TRUE or FALSE) - Show Chip Memory Usage.
- SHOWCLOCK=(TRUE or FALSE) - Show 12Hour Clock
- (12 or 24) - Show 12 or 24 Hour Clock.
- SHOWFAST=(TRUE or FALSE) - Show fast Memory Usage.
- SHOWOS=(TRUE or FALSE) - Show Current OS Version (3.5 or 3.9).
- SHOWSCREENINFO=(TRUE or FALSE) - Show Screen Dimension and Depth Info.
-
- TEXT_COL=0xRRGGBB - Hex Number representing the RED / GREEN and BLUE colour values.
- TITLE_CHIP={String 16 Characters} - Custom Chip Lettering.
- TITLE_FAST={String 16 Characters} - Custom Fast Lettering.
-
- Overhead:
- Memicon does not take much CPU power at all, but in the tradition of Amiga
- programing it will allow you to alter the update speed and save you a few processor
- cycles here and there.
-
- The OVERHEAD tool type can be set in the following ways :
-
- ECO - Memory and Clock is updated every 5 seconds.
- LOW - Memory is updated every 4 seconds and the clock every 2 seconds.
- MED - Memory and Clock is updated every 2 seconds.
- NORMAL - Memory is updated every 5 seconds and the clock every 1 second.
- HIGH - Memory and Clock is updated every second.
