I have copied the redesigned template and associated sprites
file to my !InetApps (the one I started on back in December)
and of course because I have not finished that to read in a
buttons configuration file, it requires me to reassemble it!
ISTR I had invited comments on my version. I am quite aware that
it is an imitation of the !Acornet.Utils.!FrontEnd application
which is what I set out to produce last Christmas time. Basically,
writing my own allowed me to have a pretty program handy that I
could load up without !Acornet (useful with an !Internet script
running with SLIPdial on its own). It should not be too hard if
I wanted to make it configurable, and I could make it easier if
I had a BASIC program to process the Buttons file into a format
that would be more easily loaded by a new version of !InetApps.
The way forward though would be to create a GUI to do all this.
