- VisualPrefs 1.3c (30.12.97) by Massimo Tantignone
-
- **** This is a small update to releases 1.3, 1.3a and 1.3b ****
-
- VisualPrefs is a patch which allows you to customize with great freedom
- many aspects of the look of the Amiga GUI.
-
- If you do want to see for yourself what VisualPrefs is able to do, just
- take a look at the preview image supplied with this archive.
-
- Using a comfortable preferences editor, you can configure many details like:
-
- · different light/dark colors for active or inactive windows edges
- · the thickness of all four window borders (also with system gadgets)
- · the height of window/screen titlebars regardless of the font height used
- · the style of system gadgets
- · the style of MUI/KingCON/ClassAct/DirOpus/Scalos titlebar gadgets
- · the exact look of the BOOPSI and GadTools 3D frames
- · the look of GadTools proportional gadgets
- · the position of window titles (centered in dragbar or in whole titlebar)
- · the fill color of inactive window borders
-
- ... and also other interesting things. By the way, VisualPrefs contains all
- the functionality (and more) of my previous patches Prop3D and CenterTitles.
-
- You can configure individually the GUI of each different screen opened
- by your applications, as well as define a global GUI look.
-
- I know there are other programs doing some of this, but none of them has
- all the features offered by VisualPrefs.
-
- This program is shareware.
-
- ***************************************************************
- Note: This patch works even better when used together with the
- "FullPalette" program, which is also on Aminet, currently
- as util/wb/FullPalette19.lha (but the number may change).
- ***************************************************************
-
- Changes from release 1.3b:
- --------------------------
-
- · Fixed a bug which caused Enforcer hits at the opening of Workbench
- windows when the PowerWB patch was running.
-
- · DirOpus iconify & padlock gadgets should now be patched whichever window
- they appear in; previously some windows were missed by VisualPrefs.
-
- · Now the GUI editor saves a "palette.prefs" file with default settings if
- one doesn't exist.
-
- Changes from release 1.3a:
- --------------------------
-
- · Compatibility with Birdie in hi-color and true-color modes was broken
- due to the previous bug-fix. Now it works again.
-
- Changes from release 1.3:
- -------------------------
-
- · Fixed an odd bug which prevented VisualPrefs from running on most V39
- (Kickstart 3.0) systems.
-
- · Slightly modified the documentation.
-
- Changes from release 1.2a:
- --------------------------
-
- · Now VisualPrefs can be made nearly 100% compatible with Birdie! See the
- documentation to learn how to obtain this.
-
- · Now the KingCON patch also works for RAW: and KRAW:.
-
- · Now VisualPrefs also patches the Scalos iconify gadget image.
-
- · Fixed a bug that caused the YAM mailer to display fake error messages.
-
- · Now the iconify gadget of the DirOpus text reader window is also
- patched.
-
- · The DirOpus screen title wasn't always vertically centered. Now fixed.
-
- · Removed an Enforcer hit with DirOpus 4.
-
- · Now the additional titlebar gadgets (such as the MUI ones) have the
- correct colors on Picasso96 hicolor and truecolor screens.
-
- · The previous fix for the YAM problem, found on my home page, did cause
- address errors on plain 68000 CPUs. Now fixed.
-
- · With big titlebar gadgets, sometimes the window title covered part of
- the gadget at its immediate right. Now fixed.
-
- · Saving the preferences doesn't corrupt anymore the titlebar of some
- screens if they have an increased titlebar height.
-
- · Now deadlocks at the reopening of the Workbench screen when saving the
- preferences should be less likely to happen.
-
- · Added some developer documentation about the "tbiclass" image class.
