- A quick note about ShoveColors
-
- This was a quick and dirty program I threw together. It will read in an
- IFF file containing a CMAP chunk, and then set the default public
- screen's RGB values.
-
- FILE Specifies the IFF to get the palette from, duh.
-
- QUIET Surpresses all output, so no window is opened.
-
- FORCE Overrides other program's locks. Be careful on the Workbench
- screen!
-
- LOCKALL Locks all pens, regardless of the LOCK hunk. Useful for
- non-Iconian palette files!
-
- Also, if present is a "LOCK" hunk (a custom hunk saved from Iconian!),
- then any pens that were saved as locked will attempted to be locked.
-
-
- What's the POINT?
-
- Well, you could edit a custom palette for a 3.0 workbench screen. Just
- specify pens 0-3 as normal 2.0 colors, 4-7 as MagicWB colors and LOCKED.
- Then save the palette. Then, call ShoveColors everytime the Workbench
- screen is changed or opened (or from shell-startup!). This way, you can
- save all your icons with 3 planes (strip planes in Iconian), to save
- disk space!!! No need to save all 8 planes to get correct looking
- icons!!!
-
- No guarantees are made for this program. Use at your own risk. Check
- the source, maybe you could fix any bugs you find?
-
- Have fun.
