- Type: util/wb

-
- Here are included the preferences for some programs which
- change the look and feel of Workbench: VisualPrefs , Birdie ,
- MagicMenu and TitleShadow. Their latest versions can be found
- on Aminet.
-
-
- Requirements: High colour Workbench
- ------------
- + all the programs listed above
-
-
- Recommended: OS 3.5
- ------------
- 1024 x 768 screenmode or higher
-
- FullPalette ( also on Aminet )
-
- 13 point screen font
-
-
- Installation: First you have to install all these programs
- ------------ like it says in their manuals and then change
- their preferences.
-
-
- Usage :
- -----
-
- Visual Prefs : This preferences are for VP 1.5 or higher. Copy the
- directory Lava where ever you want , start GUI of
- VisualPrefs , open Lava/Lava.pre , and under
- System/Bitmaps choose Lava. Then save the prefs.
-
- NOTE: The gadgets may look weird in GUI prefs and
- the first time when you save the prefs. That's
- because most gadgets are drawn to use ONLY with
- Birdie and included textures. However, when you
- see how it looks you won't regret it.
-
- Birdie : Open Birdie prefs ( bprefs.lha , also on Aminet) , load my
- Birdie prefs , for Active window pattern choose
- ActiveWindow.png and in pattern list choose InactiveWindow.png.
- Do NOT add any more patterns to pattern list because this set
- is designed for only one pattern.
-
- MagicMenu: This prefs file is for MagicMenu 2.35 (www.magicmenu.de).
- Open MMPrefs ,load MM_Red.prefs ,and then save the prefs.
- I also added MM_Blue prefs file. You might want to use it if
- you think that not every part of Workbench should be red.
-
- TitleShadow: Copy my titleshadow.prefs to ENV: and ENVARC: and then load
- TitleShadowPrefs and save the prefs again. Here I've added
- a pink outline to the selected window title so now it
- has a nice glow effect.
-
- NOTE: In order this to work you'll have to install
- Full Palette first. After the installation copy
- the included FullPalette.prefs to ENV:Sys and ENVARC:Sys
- and then reboot your Amiga.
-
-
- Workbench: I included a desktop picture in Lava style for WB , a texture
- for WB windows and a background for DOpus requesters. These
- pictures really require OS 3.5 ( because of its picture.datatype
- which does dithering on highcolour screens ) or true colour workbench.
-
- NOTE: I've added a pointer prefs file which you may use with this
- Lava set. On all Amiga computers pointer is red by default ,
- so it might be hard to see if you use the AquaRed background.
- This yellow pointer can be distinguished well on red and it
- looks cool too.
-
- I wanted to keep this archive as short as possible , so I uploaded the snapshot
- of my WB separately as pix/wb/LavaWBsnap.jpg.
