4]---------------------------------- 3]RemapInfo 1.0 User Manual 3](c) 1991 Nico François / PowerPeak 4]---------------------------------- This program was written out of utter frustration, as many good programs are. Commodore decided to change the colors of the new Workbench 2.0 from what they were under 1.3. Black and white are reversed. So what's the problem? Icon images with black and white swapped look fairly ugly. I know of two other programs that allow you to recolor the icons so they look OK again, but neither features a Workbench interface. It's quite extraordinary that a program helps make your Workbench look nicer, but doesn't support it. So that's why you are now reading the documentation of RemapInfo, the icon color remapper with an easy-to-use Workbench interface. RemapInfo is not just useful to Workbench 2.0 users but also to people who want to use icons designed for 2.0 on Workbench 1.3. There are also many who have changed their Workbench 1.3 colors completely, and it is possible that by using this program they may discover they can enhance their Workbench look significantly. RemapInfo is compatible with and supports Kickstart and Workbench 2.0. 3]USAGE RemapInfo can be used in several different ways. (JUMPDISK NOTE: For the following CLI commands to work correctly, you should first enter the command: cd j:remapinfo ) 3]VIA THE CLI If you enter: RemapInfo ? . . . you will get a short usage message printed to the console. You use RemapInfo like this: RemapInfo [...] So simply give one or more filenames of icons you want to recolor as arguments to RemapInfo. There is no need to include the ".info". Example: RemapInfo SYS:System SYS:Utilities/Clock.info If you enter RemapInfo without arguments and you have arp.library or asl.library installed in Libs: you will be presented with a filerequester. 3]VIA WORKBENCH This is the easiest way to use RemapInfo. The CLI interface was only implemented for completeness. There are two ways ways of using RemapInfo via the Workbench: Double-click the RemapInfo icon and select a filename using the ARP or ASL filerequester or -- and this is certainly the easiest way -- single-click the RemapInfo icon and then extend-select one or more other icons (use shift click, double-clicking the last one). RemapInfo will then proceed and recolor each of the icons you selected. If your Amiga has Kickstart 2.0 in ROM, there is an even easier way to use RemapInfo: When you double-click RemapInfo you will NOT be presented with a filerequester but with an additional icon in the Workbench window. If you now drop some other icons on this icon these will be recolored. Couldn't be easier now, could it? Double-clicking the icon quits RemapInfo. RemapInfo has one limitation. It will only remap four-color icons. Since 95 percent of Amiga icons are in four colors, this is not a big problem. As always, I hope you find this program useful!
