- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- Only files that have been updated since v1.2b archive are included in
- this archive. Copy the files in this directory to the relevant places on
- your system. Reboot and test away!
-
- c/ -> c:
- libs/ -> libs:
- classes/ -> sys:classes/
- devs/ -> devs:
-
- The 'Themes' folder (and all sub-directories and files) must be copied
- into same folder as the Scalos exe, i.e. to your SCALOS: assign.
-
- After installation, but before rebooting:- Run the new "Scalos Menu"
- preferences program. Re-save your menu prefs as it will now generate a
- new prefs file called "Menu13.prefs" in "envarc:scalos/". The same is
- also required for the new Palette prefs update, click 'Save' and a
- "Palette13.prefs" file will be saved in to "envarc:scalos/" directory.
- You may now reboot.
-
- During use of Scalos an assign "THEME:" is automatically made to the
- 'scalos:themes/default/' directory. In the future this will be
- selectable by preferences.
-
- Developers writing software for Scalos (modules etc.) and want to
- support the future iCandy support can use a new environment variable
- added recently. Your application should read the contents of
- ENV:Scalos/icandy variable. If it contains a:-
-
- 0 then show no graphical elements in your GUI.
- 1 then show only images needed for functionality
- 2 then put everything on display for maximum looks :-)
-
- Because there is currently no preferences to set this Scalos will
- *always* make the variable contain '2' for now.
-
- Remove both the filetypes.plugin and deficons.plugin from your existing Scalos
- system to avoid conflicts with the no built-in deficons support.
-
- If you use non-English Scalos catalog, then please ensure you are using
- the latest language catalog from the website.
-
- We have moved the mouse pointer 'special' icons from the ENV:Scalos/ directory.
- Please remove them from your installation too. You will now find the files
- located in your THEME:PointerIcons/ directory.
-
