RollPattern 0.9 (26.10.98)
This version is a Beta version
Introduction:
-------------
I had some nice WB background, but I couldn't see it all. So I started to code this
small commodity so we can change backdrops in a easy way ;^)
I wrote it in 2-3 day, so it's not very complexe, but it seems to work.
I was just wondering why nobody else thought of a tool like RollPattern !
Requirement:
------------
You need:
-MUI 3.x
-Kickstart 2.04+
-RndWbPix
Installation:
-------------
Unarchive the included RndWbPix.lha archive and install it.
Drag RollPattern to thw WBSartup directory (or somewhere else...).
Features:
---------
-Change Workbench, drawers, screen backdrops.
-MUI interface for the settings
-It's a commodity
Usage:
------
Open the RollPattern GUI (with some Cx Exchange, or hot key)
Select all paths and then save it.
If you wouldn't change a background type select an empty string in the string gadget.
The settings are saved in a ascii file in env:RollPattern.prefs by default.
Well for the rest, it's easy to understand...
Limitiation:
------------
All patterns are changed at the same intervalls
Additionnal notes:
------------------
RollPattern is a simple "delayer". It will call the external command "RndWbPix" in a
defined time interval. The effective patterns changing wil be perfomed by the tool
written by Stephan Rupprecht.
Bugs
----
It should work without great problems...
...BTW I did't try it in an intensive manner...
If you have some problms, contact me vi e-mail.
Futur:
------
-Nice transition between backdrops, like special wipes...
-Integration of RndWbPix
