- Author: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
- Uploader: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
- Version: 1.1
- Type: util/misc
- Replaces: pix/misc/ReqAttackPV.lha
- Requires: OS 3.0, 68020
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- ============
-
- ReqAttack is an incredible cool new requester improver similiar to ARQ. It
- is the successor of KeyReq and improves the look and handling of requesters
- of all programs which use the standard system requester functions (EasyRe-
- questArgs, AutoRequest, BuildEasyRequestArgs, BuildSysRequest) for that pur-
- pose.
-
-
- CHANGES IN V 1.1:
- =================
-
- o New version of CyReq. Stack swapping is now also used
- in the AutoRequest() patch --> no more problems with
- SmartCrash.
-
- o The EasyRequestArgs() and AutoRequest() patches of
- ReqAttack, which are only activated if CyReq is not
- running, now are almost 100 % identical with the ones
- in CyReq, incl. Stack swapping etc.
-
- o New configuration item REQTEXTALIGN which allows to
- change the alignment of the requester text lines.
-
- o New configuration item FUNCTIONKEYS which allows to
- switch on button activation by function keys.
-
- o Improved GFX card support thanks to Stephan Rupprecht.
- On hicolor and truecolor screens button images and re-
- quester logos are now by default created in the same
- color depth. By doing so color remapping is not requi-
- red anymore and this leads to better quality. On 8 Bit
- GFX cards screens the bitmaps are now by default cre-
- ated in chunky format to avoid blink effects. Configu-
- ration item BITMAPFLAGS.
-
- o New compare operation IN.
-
- o New CHECKITEM PROGNAME2. The description of PROGNAME
- was wrong, beside that.
-
- o Animated logos are displayed with much less flickering
- on standard Amiga screens as well, if the screen is in
- interleaved format.
-
- o The requesters were opened with IDCMP_CLOSEWINDOW de-
- spite the requester windows not having a close gadget.
- Because of this pressing ESCAPE did not work if one
- used the commodity NED.
-
- o New configuration item DONOTPATCH.
-
- o New tool WinInfo which is helpful to find out what
- task/process has opened a certain requester (or other
- window).
-
- o It is now possible to stop the execution of the confi-
- guration file at any time by using STOP.
-
- FEATURES:
- =========
-
- o Configurable requester logos which can also be animated.
-
- o Configurable button images and button look.
-
- o Configurable requester background pattern.
-
- o Keyboard control. Cycling through buttons with TAB, SHIFT TAB and CURSOR
- keys. Activation of highlighted gadget with RETURN and another configur-
- able key (default LCOMMAND v). Activation of rightmost gadget width ESCAPE
- and another configurable key (default LCOMMAND b). Activation of buttons
- by keyboard can be aborted by pressing SHIFT or ESCAPE before releasing
- the button activation key.
-
- o Possibility to drag the requesters around by clicking anywhere in the win-
- dow.
-
- o Possibility to make the requesters open in the center of the screen or un-
- der the mouse pointer.
-
- o Very special conditional configuration.
-
- o It's possible to configure almost everything, like spacing between the
- single elements of the requester and it's alignment, the color of the
- highlight rectangle and much more.
