When you use this little program, than you use it on your own risk! The author

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it?
Do you know these funny Eye-programs, which follow the mouse-pointer! Ok. Than
you know AmigaEYE. It's an Eye-program for an upstyled Workbench.
The first lines of code are written back in 1995 and were released as MagicEYE
Since that first work are more than 2 years gone by and so the program changed a
lot (not only the Name and the shareware fee). Look at the history at the end
;-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 reasons, why to use this program:
1.) colorized eyes ;^)
2.) Eye-sets with different sizes
3.) automatic window close, when WB is closed (screennotify.library)
4.) you can configurate a lot
5.) patch to have an screen-drag MagicEYE-window
6.) More than 10(!) different eye-effects
7.) colorremapping, MagicWB nolonger needed (AmigaOS 3.0+)
8.) very short program
9.) it's an commodity
10.) can copy screen-background into MagicEYE-window
11.) MagicEYE-window is the hindmost window
12.) Eyes for different sizes
13.) Eyebrows
14.) Pirate eyes
15.) Eye glasses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you need?
You need of course an Amiga-Computer (or an compatible one ;^) ). Also you
need at least AmigaOS 3.0. In addition to the OS you should run your Workbench
with at least 8 colors and a quadratic resolution (e.g. 640×512). Last but not
least you should use a supported font size for screen title. And new for release
2 of AmigaEYE you need the screennotify-library from Stefan Becker (optional,
if you want automatic close of the AmigaEYE-Window when WB close).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install?
Nothing simpler than that: you copy only AmigaEYE to your WBStartup-directory
on you startvolume (disk, hd...) and the files in the AmigaEYE/#? into
ENV:AmigaEYE/#?. In addition to that do an reboot. That's it :-]
When you want to run your User-Startup, than copy AmigaEYE into your
C-Directory, the AmigaEYE/#? files into ENV:AmigaEYE/#? and run AmigaEYE from
your User-Startup.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use?
You can run this program from the Workbench (or the WBStartup directory) and
from a Shell (User-Startup). You can specify the parameters in the icon as Tool-
Types, as options in the shell or in a configuration file (ENVARC/AmigaEYE/CFG).
DONOTWAIT : This has nothing to do with AmigaEYE. It's only a flag for
Workbench.
WIN_X : Where do you want to place the AmigaEYE-window? Here you
WIN_Y configurate the x and y position. Default: WIN_X=545 and
WIN_Y=1
ATTENTION: If you use an titlefont smaller than 13 point,
set the value of WIN_Y to 0.
PRIORITY : Defines the task-priority. This value should be lower than
0, so, other programs (which need the system-time) gets more
system-time. The default value is 0 (program) or -5 (Icon).
MOVEABLE : Window can be moved on the screen.
DRAGPATCH : With this (non system-friendly) patch it is possible, to
drag the screen with the AmigaEYE-window. So there is no
different on the screen-title, when you want to drag down
the screen (funny). Default is off!
BACKGROUND : Copy the background of the position, where the Eyes appears
into the AmigaEYE window (and so into the background).
QUICKQUIT : Enable faster quitting of AmigaEYE (with right Mousebutton).
BACKDROP : Enable the Layer Patch, that bring the AmigaEYE window to
the hindmost window (every time!). ATTENTION: with this
patch there will be the function BehindeLayer (-54) from the
layer.library changed!
SLEEP_PERIOD : This flag define the time (in sec) that the program wait,
till it close the Eyes, when the mouse isn't moved!
Default: 5. (Try different values!)
SIZE : Define the size of the graphic-set that is used. For a title
font with the size 13 you need to use the graphic-set 13
(SIZE=13)! ATTENTION: At this time there are only set's for
the sizes 5, 11, 13, 16 and 26!
If your specify 0 as your preferred size, than AmigaEYE look
for the size of the title-font and tries to open a graphic-
set that is ok for that title-font. Doesn't exist that set,
AmigaEYE will quit!
NOANTIAL : This flag should be set if you want to use the nonantialized
graphic set - for better results on screens with dark back-
ground colors.
NOBROWS : With this ToolType you can switch off the eyebrows. So you
get the same behaviour of AmigaEYE as in the previous
versions. If you use the eyebrows, you should remember, that
AmigaEYE opens a window that is a li
