In my release notes for MWB, I said you couldn't do a 'LoadWb' onto
a custom screen. This is in error. You actually *can* load the workbench
on a custom screen. My error was trying to load it onto a custom screen of
a different size.
The only parameter you can change is the depth parameter. Therefore,
the following sequence should work:
mwb i
mwb d1 n
LoadWb
The workbench works normally on the new custom screen.
REMOVING THE ORIGINAL WORKBENCH SCREEN (A HACK)
-MWB must be installed. 'mwb i' to install
-setup your custom screen
-remove all windows from the original workbench screen
-'closewb' (see below).. simply calls intuition CloseWorkBench();
-LoadWb (workbench placed on custom screen, but original
workbench screen is reopenned anyway
-'closewb' removes original screen & current workbench icons
-LoadWb reloads workbench onto custom screen, and for some
reason the original screen is not re-openned.
This is a big hack and may not work 100%.
NOTES:
It's difficult to crash the Amiga by fooling around with this...
as long as the screen dimensions for the custom screen have the
same width/height, LoadWb doesn't seem to care.
