- Usage
- =====
-
- ClassPatch consists of two programs: the main patcher and preferences.
- In the preferences program you can choose your GUI style and select needed

- Sys:Classes, then run the preferences program and choose the GUI style.
- You should also add following lines in your startup-sequence:
- ...
- LoadWB
