- JEyes Version 2.0
-
- JEyes (pronounced 'jies') is an Amiga version of XEyes, with a lot
- of personal additions, I've never played with the X version, but I
- thought it would be a neat hack...
-
- JEyes opens a sizable window on the Workbench screen containing a pair
- of eyes which follow the cursor about the screen. That's it - nothing
- very productive here!
-
- JEyes V2.0 is a Workbench 2.0 (V37+) only application. If properly
- convinced, I may make it 1.3 compatible, but not right now.
-
- Operation:
-
- JEyes' operation is fairly configurable, with both Workbench tooltypes
- and CLI parameters supported. Current modifiers are:
-
- LeftEdge Initial window left position
- TopEdge Initial window top position
- Width Initial window width (subject to minimum limitiation)
- Height Initial window height (subject to minimum limitiation)
- WindowTitle Override of window title
- NoCloseGadget Window cannot be closed (nasty, nasty)
- DontScalePupil Always uses small pupil
- EyeCount Not all beings have *2* eyes!
-
-
- Workbench tooltypes:
-
- Any of the above modifiers may be specified in the tools icon.
- 'NoCloseGadget' and 'DontScalePupil' modifiers need no setting; the
- other modifiers may be specified in either of the following formats:
-
- "modifier=<setting>" or "modifier <setting>"
-
- If the WindowTitle setting contains more than one word, it must be
- enclosed in single quotes. All other modifiers expect integer settings.
-
-
- CLI parameters:
-
- All modifiers may be specified on the command line with the format
-
- "modifier=<setting>"
-
- WindowTitle cannot include spaces when specified from the CLI.
-
-
- Future direction:
-
- I'm open to suggestions concerning additions to JEyes. It's currently
- simple enough that I can treat it as an interesting diversion from my
- primary obligations, so give me something to add.
