NIPrefs-GT 1.0, February 1, 1998. Written by Stephen Williams
==============================================================
Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
NIPrefs-GT is a GadTools replacement for the standard NewIcons V4
prefs editor. It's for people who don't like ClassAct, or who don't
want to install a load of BOOPSI classes for just one program.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
AmigaOS 2.00 or above (Exec V36 or above). Also, you'll need
newicon.library V40 or greater (obviously :-) No other external
libraries are required.
Installation
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Copy NIPrefs-GT over the top of your existing NewIconsPrefs program.
Usage
¯¯¯¯¯
It's functionally very similar to the standard NewIcons prefs editor.
You'll notice the clickable NewIcons logo has gone away; I've used an
"About..." menu item instead.
If NIPrefs-GT fails to adapt properly to your screen font, set the
"TOPAZ" tooltype; this will force it to use topaz/8 and you'll be able
to use the program. NIPrefs-GT has worked with every font I've tried
it with (cross fingers...)
Other Stuff
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
NIPrefs-GT was written in Modula-2, and compiled with Marcel
Timmermans' excellent Cyclone compiler (available from Aminet).
NIPrefs-GT isn't in the public domain and may be altered by no-one.
It's copyrighted freeware, and may not be sold for a profit.
Magazines are welcome to put it on cover disks or CDs. It may be
uploaded to any bulletin boards and FTP sites.
This is a public release; I'm satisfied that it's stable, and
shouldn't crash your computer, your hard drive, your car, or the stock
market. If it does any of these things, I can't be held responsible.
You're using it at your own risk.
