- Short: Config. WB title w/ Amiga/VMM/Retina mem
- Author: Mark A.Thomas; Martin Kaim (Gwardar)
- Uploader: Martin.Kaim@studbox.uni-stuttgart.de
- Type: util/wb
- Replaces: WBTitle13d.lha
-
- Change the text on the Workbench title bar according to your liking *now*
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- WBTitle can show whichever memory settings you prefer in the title bar,
- including all the standard Amiga memory types (chip/fast/public/total),
- plus virtual memory (if VMM is active) and Retina gfx board memory (if
- such a board is installed).
-
- You may combine any of these options in any order and give a separate text
- string for each of the selected options, plus prefix and suffix strings for
- the title as a whole, so the title can cover a vast range of alternatives:
-
- from e.g.
- "WB" - for the minimalists among us ;->
-
- through
- "Amiga - on the prowl again... 123,456,789 bites to still the hunger!"
-
- (with 123,456,789 bytes being the current free public memory and 'bites'
- intentionally spelled like this :-)
-
- up to a very long line including all of the above mentioned options and
- only fitting on a huge WB screen (on a gfx board) - test the example
- settings to see what I mean.

-
- Notes on WBTitle 1.4:
-
- This is a full update, as usual including source & executable.
-
- Based on the previous Aminet releases wbtitle.lha by mthomas@cs.utexas.edu
- (Mark A. Thomas) and WBTitle13d.lha by me.
-
- * A word of thanks goes to Mark A. Thomas for releasing this code into the
- * Public Domain- IMHO it's good example code on patching intuition functions.
-
- WBTitle 1.4 is the (final) 'multi-locale' version which should work with
- ANY Workbench locale. To achieve this, two new tooltypes were introduced by
- which you can adapt this program to your specific Workbench settings.
-
- This implies that the executable is no longer compiled for a specific, e.g.
- German WB locale, as it had been in the WBTitle13d archive.
- Instead, it defaults to English locale and comes with example settings for
- both English and German locales.
-
- These settings, entirely contained within the icon file, can be easily
- changed to suit your needs.
-
- You no longer have to fiddle with the source and compile your own
- executable to get this working with locales other than English or German.
- So, you don't need a compiler and also don't have to know anything about
- programming.
-
- However, source, makefile and optionfile are still included, as the
- program is PUBLIC DOMAIN.
-
- If no serious bugs occur, there should be nothing left to do on my part.
- Feel free to contact me nevertheless if there still are bugs, but please
- do tell me how to reproduce them, otherwise I can't fix 'em as I only have
- little spare time to further spend on this tool.
-
- If you want to add features for yourself, then do so. However, if they are
- well-tested and you think others would like them, then please upload the
- enhanced version to Aminet like it has been done before, for the Community
- to share...
-
- And please add the enhancements to the doc file, too. Even if it's tedious
- work writing docs (compared to coding) ;->
-
- Enjoy, Gwardar.
