Important note: Before updating or deleting any Hackmaster program,
be sure to disable the application first in the Hackmaster control screen.
Description
Thank you for trying TealMagnify!. This is a simple application
that provides ever-ready magnifying glass that allows you to enlarge
any part of the display from within almost any program.
TealMagnify! hooks itself into the Find silkscreened button
to the right of the graffiti area. Fortuitiously, this button already
has a magnifying glass image. TealMagnify! is immediately activated
when the button is pressed, and you can either double-tap the find button
or use the provided onscreen Find button if you just want to
do a normal find operation.
Installing

TealMagnify! uses the HackMaster System Extensions Manager by Edward Keyes
(*See references below). This is a safe and standard way to add and
manage extended system functionality on the Pilot.
Use the Pilot installer to install the program file TEALLENS.PRC
and HACKMSTR.PRC. TealMagnify! will not appear as a standard
program of it's own, but instead is activated through HackMaster.
To turn on TealMagnify!, simply click on the HackMaster icon
in the applications launcher, and click on the checkmark next to the
TealMagnify! entry in the Hacks list.
Registering
Currently, you may register by snail mail, electronically through our
website with a credit card via secured server, or
through PalmPilotGear HQ at 1-800-741-9070. For the first
option, the enclosed registration form is provided for your convenience.
You may use this form or simply send the following to the address above.
- Product Name (Please!)
- E-Mail Address
- HotSync User ID ( Pilot Name Required for Passkey generation,
it can be found on the main screen of the HotSync application
on the Pilot as "Welcome ________." or in the corner on a PalmIII )
- Check or Money Order for ($11.95 US) to TealPoint Software
When you register, you will be sent an email containing a registration
code you can enter into TealPaint to turn off the "Please Register"
messages.
Using the Program
Simply click on your pilot's silkscreened Find button.
Initially, in the lower half of the screen the magnifying window will
appear, while the region being magnified is highlighted by a grey box
in the upper half of the display. To change the area being magnified,
simply click on the region to see or "click and drag" the highlight region
around the display. When you move the highlighted region to the lower
half of the display, the magnify window automatically snaps out of the
way to the top of the display. To read a column of data (such as
telephone numbers) use the Pilot up and down scroll buttons to move the
magnifying window vertically.
When done, simply click Okay to return to normal operation or
click Find to initiate a normal find operation. Alternately, you
may also click the silkscreened Find button a second time.
Compatibility
As we cannot control the style and robustness of other products, we cannot
guarantee compatibility with PalmPilot applications beyond those included
from Palm Computing. However, we try to resolve compatibility issues as
best we can, working with other developers where possible.
TealMagnify, like all Hackmaster applications, hook into the
PalmPilot operating system in a way which may not be compatible with all
other programs of this type, as all such programs must share limited
system resources. If you experience unexpected behavior or crashes, always
try disabling all other hacks first to diagnose whether what you experience is
the result of a conflict or lack of system resources.
- Backdrop EZ Hack
- Compatibility to Backdrop EZ Hack has been added in TealMagnify 2.03
- FindHack
- FindHack patches into the system find call, just like TealMagnify,
but provides no way to chain to the next program on the list, as it
was meant to fully replace the standard find command, not just
augment it. You can still activate TealMagnify, however, but swapping
the order in which the two programs appear in Hackmaster's extension
list. Uncheck and recheck an item to bring it to the top of the
extensions list.
