- What is MagicA2024 ?
- ********************
-
- MagicA2024 is a commodity and patches the private routines of the
- icon.library to recolor MagicWB icons to the four A2024 colors. The
- bitmap is adjusted on the fly, extra chip memory is needed for the new
- image, the blitter is used.
-
- While installing MagicWB or using a remapping tool like MUIReIcon,
- the remapped icon is shown, but the original icon is in work. But before
- using an icon-editor switch off MagicA2024.
-
- All icons with three or more bitplanes are modified. It's not
- possible to recognize non-MagicWB icons.
-
- Two remap routines are implemented, the default one uses the blitter,
- check out which one is faster with your configuration.
-
- It can also be used on a standard workbench with normal four-color
- palette. Feel free to use it with a workbench which has more than four
- colors, even non-MagicWB colors.

- How to install
- **************
-
- The main directory contains MagicA2024. Copy the "MagicA2024" to a
- drawer which contains your utilities.
-
- copy MagicA2024 bin:
-
- To start MagicA2024 automatically you have to insert some lines in
- your 's:user-startup'. Like this:
-
- ;BEGIN MAGICA2024
- run >nil: <nil: "bin:MagicA2024"
- ;END MAGICA2024
-
- It's possible to start MagicA2024 within the WBStartup drawer, but
- then the recolorization hasn't access on the already opened icons.
-
- PS: It's easier to use the Installer script !!!
