- WBStartUp+ Version 3.01
- =======================
-
- Information
- -----------
-
- This update makes WBSTartup+ more OS 3,5 friendly. All of the
- original code by John has remained the same. Feel free to
- distribute this archive only if the archive stays intact. Any
- magazines are welcome to add this to their coverdisks.
-
- Please send me any bug reports, comments, etc.
-
- Configuration
- -------------
-
- There's some new tooltypes that I've added. The first is called
- FILLBAR. This alters the pattern used for the fuelgauge in the
- progress window. The current options are:
-
- SHINE - Set the fill colour to the shine pen
- BACKGROUND - Set the fill colour to the background pen
- FILL - Set the fill colour to the fill pen
- HIGHLIGHTTEXT - Set the fill colour to the highlight text pen
- SHADOW - Set the fill colour to the shadow pen
-
- Try it out and you'll get the idea
-
- Another is ONLYICONS. If this is set, any iconless files in the
- enabled directory won't get run (useful for rexx scripts and the
- like i.e. T.H.E).
-
- Finally USEWBSTART makes the programs launched via WBStart library
- rather than workbench library. Set this if you have icons with no
- associated files (e.g turbostart, SetKeyAndMenu, etc) and they
- weren't being run by the previous OS 3.5 versions.
-
-
- History
- -------
-
- Versions upto 2.8 are all John Huhes' work, see the guide file
-
- 2.9 - Added OS 3.5 icon support, removed need for WBStart library
-
- 3.0 - Fixed crash if PROGRESSWINDOW was disabled (thanks to Paolo
- Germano for the bug report). Added FILLBAR and ONLYCIONS
- tooltypes to change the appearance of the fuel gauge if you
- want to, and to only run programs with icons (ideas from
- Martin Steigerwald).
-
- 3.01 - Added USEWBSTART tooltype. Project icons such as those for
- T.H.E and Turboprint don't seem to get run by the Workbench
- library call. If you have that problem, add this tooltype.
-
- To Do
- -----
-
- Bug Fixes.
-
- Add configurability aso that you can use any key or mouse button
- that you like for the interactive running, disabling, etc. Also
- have a crack at updataing the prefs GUI.
-
- Notes
- -----
-
- I've had reports of trouble when using this with envoy. Since I don't
- own it it might be quite hard to tack down what's going on. If you
- have problems try out WBStartup++ by Frank Fenn (fenn@nucleus.com).
- Or check it out if you don't like this version or want to see if you
- like his better.
