Short: Define, save & lock ALL Workbench colors!
Author: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone)
Uploader: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone)
Version: 40.21
Type: util/wb
Requires: AmigaOS 3.0+
FullPalette 40.21 (7.2.99) by Massimo Tantignone
The FullPalette system allows you to edit and save ALL the 256 Workbench
colors rather than just eight of them as the standard Palette editor does.
It features a preferences editor ("FullPalette") enabling to define the
colors, and a patch running in the background ("FPPrefs") which takes care
of applying the palette settings every time the Workbench screen is opened.
You can decide exactly which colors are to be "locked", and thus never
modified by programs running on the Workbench screen, and which colors
instead are to be left "free" for IPrefs and other applications.
This (among other advantages) makes the managing of icons much easier;
using FullPalette you can, for example, have icons with any number of
colors without risking to see some of them change just because you view
a picture with MultiView on the Workbench screen.
You could also set colors 4-7 to always be the same as colors 252-255.
FullPalette also has a button strip to easily perform editing actions
such as "Copy", "Swap" or "Spread".
For the purpose of editing the Workbench palette, FullPalette can
completely replace the standard "Palette" preferences editor, whose settings
file (palette.prefs) it continues to maintain for compatibility, although
FullPalette also uses a custom file.
The patch runs alongside IPrefs without any conflicts.
**************************************************************
Note: This patch is even more useful when used in conjunction
with the "VisualPrefs" patch for the Amiga GUI, which is
also available on Aminet as util/wb/VisualPrefs.lha.
**************************************************************
Changes:
· Now FPPrefs always releases all pens it locked when it is
terminated with CTRL-C or by running it a second time.
· The documentation now mentions the WINDOW tool type, which
has always been available.
· The FullPalette editor is now able to load the palette from
any picture file you have a datatype for.
· Three new tool types enabling you to specify how many bits
must be used to represent the red, green and blue components
in the editor's sliders.
· The editor's window has now a custom backfill hook filling
it with the background pen, rather than color 0 (useful to
people changing the background pen with VisualPrefs).
· At last, an installation script has been included.
· Now the documentation is in AmigaGuide format.
