- OK, here it is. My second attempt at New Look Menus. I'm doing this at
- the Intuition level. This causes all menus to conform to the style guide.
- I've done some tricks to search for things like bar labels. Also, the
- menu panels will revert to Topaz 8 if the menu panel doesn't fit with the
- screen font. This replaces much of the intuition code and most of the gadtools
- layout code.
-
- This software requires AmigaOS 3.0 (V39).
-
- ==Notes==
- - I'm kinda hacking the way Intuition and Layers get locked during menus.
- There seems to be no supported way of doing this right now.
- - HIGHIMAGE is not supported.
- - I should ignore items that fall of the right hand edge in topaz 8.
- - There is some difference in the highlighting. Disabled menus with items and
- disabled items with subitems are show with some highlighting. I believe this
- should be correct since there is still some action taking place (a panel is
- being displayed).
- - Multiselected items will be shown pushed in as a visual cue that there
- are more than one item selected. This will never happen with an item with
- subitems.
- - Custom CheckMarks and AmigaKeys aren't supported. They probably would look
- real ugly with the new look anyway.
- - Menu verify doesn't respect inactive windows.
- - Keyboard shortcuts for mouse movements don't work.
- - MenuLending doesn't work.
- - MenuSnap doesn't respect user preferences (use startup arguments instead).
- - Menus function during screen dragging.
- - The pointer can go above screen while menu is active.
-
- To start the NewLook menus, type "NewMenu". This must only be done once.
- There are two arguments that can also be included...
- TOGGLE/S - Use the right mouse button in toggle mode.
- SCREENSNAP/S - Same as "Screen Snap" preference item in IControl.
