Short: Configure the look of the Amiga GUI!
Author: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone)
Uploader: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone)
Version: 1.2a
Type: util/wb
Requires: AmigaOS 3.0+
VisualPrefs 1.2a (22.10.97) by Massimo Tantignone
**** This is a small update to release 1.2, to fix some minor bugs ****
VisualPrefs is a patch which allows you to customize with great freedom
many aspects of the look of the Amiga GUI.
If you do want to see for yourself what VisualPrefs is able to do, just
take a look at the preview image supplied with this archive.
Using a comfortable preferences editor, you can configure many details like:
· different light/dark colors for active or inactive windows edges
· the thickness of all four window borders (also with system gadgets)
· the height of window/screen titlebars regardless of the font height used
· the system gadgets style (also for MUI/KingCON/ClassAct titlebar gadgets)
· the exact look of the BOOPSI and GadTools 3D frames
· the look of GadTools proportional gadgets
· the position of window titles (centered in dragbar or in whole titlebar)
· the fill color of inactive window borders
... and also other interesting things. By the way, VisualPrefs contains all
the functionality (and more) of my previous patches Prop3D and CenterTitles.
You can configure individually the GUI of each different screen opened
by your applications, as well as define a global GUI look.
I know there are other programs doing some of this, but none of them has
all the features offered by VisualPrefs.
This program is shareware.
***************************************************************
Note: This patch works even better when used together with the
"FullPalette" program, which is also on Aminet, currently
as util/wb/FullPalette18.lha (but the number may change).
***************************************************************
Changes from release 1.2:
-------------------------
· Fixed a bug in the installation script.
· The "Flat" screen depth gadget image now uses the Bar Detail pen if the
Glyph pen and the Bar Block pen have the same value.
· Fixed a bug in the look of the inactive "padlock" image in the
"Standard" style.
Changes from release 1.0a:
--------------------------
· The patch for the ClassAct iconify gadget didn't work with the latest
release of ClassAct. Now this is fixed.
· Now VisualPrefs patches DirOpus 5.5+ titlebar gadgets. Only tried it
with Magellan, but it should work also with previous releases. Hope you
like the new "padlock" image...
· Now you can choose to install a 68020/030 or 68040/060 version of
VisualPrefs and GUI.
· Some optimizations to the code of certain patches.
· No more crashes with MUI "screen close" gadgets.
· The screen titlebar doesn't get corrupted anymore under CyberGraphX 3
with the SUPERLAYERS option on.
· The GUI editor now correctly fills the bottom scroller's hole in the
preview area if you select the "Fill recessed areas..." option.
· Now the GUI editor allows for fonts with an height smaller than 7
pixels; the new limit is 5 pixels.
· GadTools arrow gadgets didn't get patched if their width or height was
smaller than 10 pixels; now the limit is 9 pixels.
· The image of CheckBox gadgets sometimes did overwrite part of the
border.
· Added a workaround for a bug in the V39 gadtools.library concerning the
displaying of the contents of number gadgets. Hope it works!
· The "Global" menu is now correctly updated when you select "Last saved"
from the "Edit" menu.
· The rendering of MUI titlebar gadgets should now be somewhat faster.
· Added a patch for MagicMenu 2.19+ allowing to vertically center the
menu titles in the screen bar.
· Added the possibility to inhibit the use of the Template.
· Added public "tbiclass" image class for use by programs such as ViNCEd
(starting with ViNCEd 3.53; previously it was "iconifyimageclass").
