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!
