- This disc provides !NewLook 1.00, an application which provides a new appearance
- for the RISC OS 3 desktop. In future versions of RISC OS this is likely to
- become the default settings.
-
- For information on how to use !NewLook, select it in the directory display,
- click on MENU, move to the submenu entitled 'NewLook', and choose Help on
- that menu.
-
- This new look is only recommended for users with hard discs, as loading from
- floppy disc is quite cumbersome and the result is aesthetic rather than
- functional. Considerable memory is also consumed at run time.
-
- This disc also provides 3D template files for the two applications discs
- and the support disc. In order to apply these to your applications, proceed
- as follows:
-
- Open your App1 directory on your hard disc.
- Open the TemplApp1 directory on this disc.
- Click MENU over the TemplApp1 directory, and choose 'Select all'.
- Press SELECT over the TemplApp1 directory, and drag all of the selected
- applications into the App1 directory. Release SELECT. This will copy
- replacement Template files from TemplApp1 into App1.
-
- Repeat this procedure with App2 and TemplApp2.
-
- Repeat this procedure with Support and TemplSupp.
-
- Any applications now started up from these directories should have 3D
- dialogue box elements.
-
- !NewLook contains replacement template files for all ROM applications to
- give them 3D buttons etc. Loading these does not affect tasks which are
- already running (eg. the filer, the task manager). In order to get 3D
- dialogue boxes on these you must RMLoad the files BorderUtil and ROMApps3D
- from within !NewLook as part of your machine boot sequence, before the
- desktop starts up. Choose Help from the directory display menu for more
- information on how to do this. After BorderUtil has been loaded do not
- reload, reinitialise or RMFaster the window manager.
