- version 1.4 (2.des.97)
- ----------------------
- - Changed a certain aspect of a patch which I think caused problems
- with DiskSalv, Arq and other specific stuff. Please retest
- if you had problems before.
- - Added FLOODMASKMWB to make the NOICONBORDER patch more complete.
- If enabled, icons with 16 colors or less (which usually is mwb
- style or old standard amiga style) will have their masks generated
- by flooding pen0 around the border. If you used NOICONBORDER
- before you would notice that the background color of the icon
- always becomes transparent. This looks good for newicons, but
- for mwb and other old style icons it doesn't look good because
- they rely on the background color as a part of their design.
- However there is a solution for this which gives nice results.
- Instead of making pen 0 transparent everywhere, only those pen 0
- pixels which are reachable from the border becomes transparent.
- I advice everyone which are using Workbench (and not some
- replacement like Scalos or DOpus) to try out NOICONBORDER and
- FLOODMASKMWB (specify both). Use this feature *instead* of
- all other noborder hacks like the one in newicons (disable it in
- newicons prefs).
-
- NOTE: The flood mask routine uses a handmade Flood() routine in
- 100% ASM so you don't suffer from slow loading.
-
- - Now caches already masked icons too and draw them correctly.
- - NOICONBORDER should now work on interleaved AGA screens which
- at last makes it usable for AGA users.
- - Added some code so that all windowframes are redrawn when
- Birdie starts/exits.
- - All bitmap cache is now flushed if you quit Birdie.
- - Now supports screennotify.library so you can change screenmode
- while Birdie is running. This will cause Birdie to reload pattern
- ofcourse, which might take a second or two.
-
- version 1.3 (8.oct.97)
- ----------------------
- - Birdie no longer needs CGX/Superlayers.
