Short: V1.1 Cool new requester improver (animated, ...)
Author: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
Uploader: georg.steger@rolmail.net (Georg Steger)
Version: 1.1
Type: util/misc
Replaces: pix/misc/ReqAttackPV.lha
Requires: OS 3.0, 68020
DESCRIPTION:
============
ReqAttack is an incredible cool new requester improver similiar to ARQ. It
is the successor of KeyReq and improves the look and handling of requesters
of all programs which use the standard system requester functions (EasyRe-
questArgs, AutoRequest, BuildEasyRequestArgs, BuildSysRequest) for that pur-
pose.
CHANGES IN V 1.1:
=================
o New version of CyReq. Stack swapping is now also used
in the AutoRequest() patch --> no more problems with
SmartCrash.
o The EasyRequestArgs() and AutoRequest() patches of
ReqAttack, which are only activated if CyReq is not
running, now are almost 100 % identical with the ones
in CyReq, incl. Stack swapping etc.
o New configuration item REQTEXTALIGN which allows to
change the alignment of the requester text lines.
o New configuration item FUNCTIONKEYS which allows to
switch on button activation by function keys.
o Improved GFX card support thanks to Stephan Rupprecht.
On hicolor and truecolor screens button images and re-
quester logos are now by default created in the same
color depth. By doing so color remapping is not requi-
red anymore and this leads to better quality. On 8 Bit
GFX cards screens the bitmaps are now by default cre-
ated in chunky format to avoid blink effects. Configu-
ration item BITMAPFLAGS.
o New compare operation IN.
o New CHECKITEM PROGNAME2. The description of PROGNAME
was wrong, beside that.
o Animated logos are displayed with much less flickering
on standard Amiga screens as well, if the screen is in
interleaved format.
o The requesters were opened with IDCMP_CLOSEWINDOW de-
spite the requester windows not having a close gadget.
Because of this pressing ESCAPE did not work if one
used the commodity NED.
o New configuration item DONOTPATCH.
o New tool WinInfo which is helpful to find out what
task/process has opened a certain requester (or other
window).
o It is now possible to stop the execution of the confi-
guration file at any time by using STOP.
FEATURES:
=========
o Configurable requester logos which can also be animated.
o Configurable button images and button look.
o Configurable requester background pattern.
o Keyboard control. Cycling through buttons with TAB, SHIFT TAB and CURSOR
keys. Activation of highlighted gadget with RETURN and another configur-
able key (default LCOMMAND v). Activation of rightmost gadget width ESCAPE
and another configurable key (default LCOMMAND b). Activation of buttons
by keyboard can be aborted by pressing SHIFT or ESCAPE before releasing
the button activation key.
o Possibility to drag the requesters around by clicking anywhere in the win-
dow.
o Possibility to make the requesters open in the center of the screen or un-
der the mouse pointer.
o Very special conditional configuration.
o It's possible to configure almost everything, like spacing between the
single elements of the requester and it's alignment, the color of the
highlight rectangle and much more.
