Program : Nifty Menu.
Purpose : Application launcher for Risc OS.
Author : Roger Wylde @ Nifty Software.
Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nifty Menu is an application launcher which quite simply lets
you set up 'menu' screens of you favourite programs along with
links to join the pages together.
The program can be in one of two states, Run or Edit mode.
In Run mode double clicking on any icon will load that program
or if it's a link it will follow it to a new menu screen.
In Edit mode you can drag programs to any box, dragging in menus
will produce links. The icons can then be dragged to other
boxes or duplicated by adjust dragging them (hint: adjust drag
empty boxes to blank boxes quickly). Three lines of text may
be placed to the right of each program icon. Finally a title
can be added to the top of the menu screen. When you've
finished, save off the menu and return to Run mode.
Note: all of the menus must be saved into the menus directory
inside of Nifty Menu, do not try to put them else where.
Nifty Menu tries to intelligently choose the link arrows, if
you want to change them use the Prog->Edit details option
to switch from left to right (left ones are suppost to be
back links and right ones are forward links).
When you first click on Nifty Menu's icon on the icon bar it
will try to load the menu 'MainMenu', so it's a good idea to
start with this menu fill it with links to other menus and
always remeber to include up links. If you do find your self
stuck just open up the menu directory (Menu->Menus) and drag
a menu to the menu screen.
Development/Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wrote this program ages ago and don't feel I ever quite
finished it, it certainly works fine and never crashes by
itself. If anyone wants me to finish it off (I did intend
to make it open the window in the middle of the screen)
then drop me an email and I might just do it, otherwise
I'll just leave it how it is - it sits on my icon bar and
does plenty nuff for my purposes.
Legal Bit
~~~~~~~~~
This program is freeware, you may copy it as much as you like,
but never charge more than nominal amounts (ie. for time and
media). If you feel the urge to include it on a PD/Cover CD
then I'd like a free copy or at least a discount on buying it.
No responsibility can be accepted for the results of the use
or misuse of this application.
Enjoy,
Roger Wylde, 6/12/97.
