- Some notes to use MCP !!
-
- 1) NewIcons
-
- If you have activated the NoIconBorder patches from NewIcons then you
- should disable the Quickdraw function of MCP, because the QuickDraw
- patch uses a function from the operating system to draw lines
- which isn't patched from NewIcons.
-
-
- 2) all monitor files from graphic cards
-
- You have to start these monitor drivers before MCP to allow
- correct working patches. Especially the NoIconborder patch and the
- ScreenManager needs this to work. Otherwise it works only after a
- restart of MCP or using the Prefsprogram.
-
-
- 3) Installer Version
-
- Please use the newer Installer versions to install MCP.
-
-
- 4) DOpus5 and ChangeWBTitle function
-
- If you want enable the ChangeWBTitle function from MCP you have to
- type the following lines:
- setenv dopus/WorkbenchTitle "Workbench Screen"
- copy env:dopus/WorkbenchTitle TO envarc:dopus
-
-
- 5) DOpus5 and APPChange function
-
- You have to set the parameters of PatchControl to the following:
- "C:PatchControl DO_LAUNCHER".
- That's because the DOpus function never calls the function from the
- operating system back and therefore the APPChange option doesn't
- work. PatchControl changes the order of the patches to fix this.
-
-
- 6) FinalWriter printing problem
-
- We have found a question about problems when printing with FinalWriter
- in a german Amiga magazin. That's true.. You have to deactivate the
- MemPatch function if you print graphics with FinalWriter, because
- this function needs ChipRam. It's unclear for which operation
- the ChipRam is needed.
-
-
- 7) Blizkick
- If you have problems with the CopyMemQuicker function of MCP, please
- deactivate the CopyMemQuicker function of MCP or the EXTRES function
- of Blizkick.
-
-
- 8) FastIPrefs
- There's an incompatibility between FastIPrefs 40.36b and PatchControl.
- The Toolsdaemon program can not be deactivated. All former FastIPrefs
- versions are working correct.
-
-
- 9) Birdie
- It doesn't render the colors (shine and halfshine pen) for the MCP
- WBGauge. This is no fault of MCP, but I think it's not easy for Birdie
- to change this.
-
-
- 10) SwazBlanker modules
- You should disable the Copperlist option which is available in some
- blanker modules, because MCP crashes if you use this option. We have
- no idea what's wrong, because the increasing of the stack size was
- not successful.
-
- 11) NewIcons and MWB Icons
- To solve the problem of having MWB colors and NewIcons colors at the
- same time and to avoid the NewIcons *Appicons* colors to be remapped
- when WB screen close & re-open everybody can simply lock all NewIcons
- colors with "-1" and the MWB colors in the right positions:
- 0 149 149 149, -1 59 103 162, 4 123 123 123, 5 175 175 175, 6 170 144 124,
- 7 255 169 151. These last color lockings will grant MWB colors for
- MWB icons also if you don't use MWB's colors in the Palette prefs!
