- Chameleon is a small, elegant, graphical, configurable popup menu system
- for Microsoft Windows 3.1. Chameleon may be used either as the shell or as
- a helper utility for another shell.
-
- Chameleon Version 1.10 major features:
-
- * A popup menu interface which allows you very fast access to program
- launching facilities from any application in Windows 3.1, even
- MAXIMIZED applications, without hogging your desktop. All this power is
- ONE mouse click away. Less mouse clicks = greater productivity.
-
- * Open ended group tree structure. Infinitely nest your groups. Add
- as many items and groups as you please. The only limit is your computer
- system's memory.
-
- * A complete, graphical Menu Editor with bitmapped toolbar and helpful
- status line, to facilitate configuration of your launchable items. No clumsy
- and cumbersome text files or INI files to edit with Notepad. The editor also
- has a fully functional internal clipboard which allows such actions as "cut,"
- "copy," "paste," and "append." The menu tree structure is displayed in a
- visually pleasing hierarchical format much like File Manager's interface
- for displaying your disks' directory tree. In a word, the editor is COMPLETE.
-
- * Drag and Drop addition of items to your menu makes configuration a breeze.
-
- * Ingenious system for changing the interface format of the menu on the fly.
- You may choose from four different menu types, according to your preferences.
- Choose from an industrial standard menu that's light on system resources,
- to a 3-D icon based menu with titles. The point is you decide how much or how
- little resources you care to spend on the utility, and you decide which visual
- format you prefer. Even the type of frame Chameleon draws around each menu
- item may be configured to your taste. Also select from a range of five patterns
- to use when drawing the menu background.(Your menus never looked so good)
-
- * Rich launching features that allow you to specify the executable's working
- directory, arguments to be passed to the executable, and files to be passed
- to the executable via the Common Dialog Box Library. Specify multiple file
- extensions to look for when launching an application.
-
- * System Options allows you to specify such system attributes as Windows Help
- Colors, Load and Run lines, Windows Shell, Windows System Font, Icon Title Font
- and Windows Task Manager.
-
- * Resource items give you a great visualization of your system's resource usage,
- including your default hard drive.
-
- * Built-in Task Switching. Forget about <CTRL>+<ESC> just hit the right mouse
- button, select Chameleon Options | Active Tasks you and have a list of all tasks
- running. Select from the list and Chameleon switches to that task.
-
- * Association Manager applet allows you to add and remove file associations to
- increase the flexibilty of program launching.
-
- * Window Options gives you power over the desktop. Tile active windows
- horizontally or vertically, cascade active windows, and arrange desktop icons
- all with Window Options.
-
- * Exit Options affords choices of different ways to exit Windows. Perform a safe
- reboot from inside Windows 3.1. Exit the Windows 3.1 environment, execute an
- MS-DOS command like "chkdsk /f" and restart Windows all with one command.
- Do a fast restart of Windows after changing elements of "system.ini" or "win.ini."
-
- * Quick exit from Windows, no questions asked.
-
- * Add new Program Manager groups to your menu as you install new software
- packages. Edit and change these new PM groups to your taste using the graphical
- Menu Editor. Keeps your menu current.
