- NatFrame v1.0b
- a Nature production
-
-
- Description:
- This is a winframe replacement for Magic 6.x. It uses textures for the
- different parts of the windows, so it's finally possible to get rid of
- those dull grey windows. NatFrame now supports textures in 16 and 256
- colours as well as 15, 16, 24 and 32bit resolutions, and requires NVDI
- 5. NatFrame gives you monochrome windows in less than 16 colour
- resolutions.
-
-
- New things since v0.91b:
-
- * A new texture draw type is available: "Rescale to fit", which
- rescales the texture so it covers the window element exactly once.
- This might be useful for window title bars using a texture with a
- colour fade.
-
- * The characters on the window buttons invert their colour when the
- button is selected, since it earlier didn't show if the button was
- selected or not.

- Installation instructions:
-
- 1) Rename WINFRAME.SLB and WINFRAME.RSC in the XTENSION-folder
- (probably under c:\gemsys\magic\xtension) to WINFRAME.SLX and
- WINFRAME.RSX respectively.
-
- 2) Unpack everything to the XTENSION-folder. The contents should be
- directly in the XTENSION-folder, and not in some NATFRAME-folder.
- So make sure the extractor doesn't create such a folder for you.
-
- 3) Edit WINFRAME.INF, which is in the XTENSION-folder.
- There's a path after "PATH=", which should point to the DAT-file
- to be used by NatFrame (for example in \THEMES\STONE1\). Example:
- PATH=c:\gemsys\magic\xtension\themes\stone1\stone1.dat
-
- 4) If you intend to use NatFrame under 16 or 256 colours, run
- SAVE_PAL.PRG from the XTENSION folder, so that the current palette
- will be used by NatFrame for rastering the textures before use.
- Otherwise the textures might be rastered using an incorrect
- palette, giving you messed up textures. You will have to run the
- program once under 16 and 256 colours respectively. SAVE_PAL.PRG
- saves the current palette where the currently used theme is, which
- means that you have to run SAVE_PAL.PRG again if you change themes.
-
- 5) Switch to a 16 or 256 colour mode or a 15, 16, 24 or 32 bit mode.
