Document Readme for TinyMWBCollection V1.6 *************************************************************************** * Quickdoc to the Tiny MWB Collection V1.6 * *************************************************************************** Hello Everybody! I am sorry, but this collection doesn´t contain a detailed English guide, yet. The reason for this is that there doesn´t seem to be a need for it, as there are only few reactions to my collection :-( I am sorry! However the next release could have such a NICE guide, it depends on you! Meanwhile you´ll have to read this LITTLE text/guide instead, with everything IMPORTANT to know in it! What you´re missing, are my comments on (almost) each of my icons... I think you will survive that ;-) But now to the important stuff: 1. Status ------ This software is CARDWARE! This means you should send me a picture- postcard of your hometown, or AT LEAST an email (both is also acceptable ;-). There is *NO NEED* to send me any money, but if you like... 2. My address (to write or to contact me): ---------- Mario Cattaneo Bruchwiesenanlage 4-701/2 D-66125 Saarbrücken GERMANY E-mail: cattaneo@cscip.uni-sb.de IRC-nick: padrino (most at #AmigaGER...) Homepage: http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb-de/~cattaneo/ 3. Guarantee --------- This software comes with NO garantee at all! If you use it you accept any risc that could come with it. The author can´t be blamed for any loss of data because of you using these icons. This Software doesn´t claim to be bug-free nor complete. It is as it is. The copryright belongs to the author! 4.

X-Stuff-Drawer -------------------- This drawer contains a palette which helps you converting your dock- brushes, so that you can use them on a Un*x system, e.g. at your university. The palette was chosen to give those brushes a nice look using them with a monochrom (b/w-dithering) Monitor :-) Just load the palette into your paint programme, then load a brush and save it again with the new palette. You now only have to change the format of the brush into one which is compatible to a Un*x system (e.g. XBM). Don´t worry this sound much more complicated and uncomfortable than it really is... It even contains some entries, which will (if you are using FVWM) bring up the look of such buttons which a MUI-Application would have (The three dimensional look is based on SysiHack © by Christoph Feck). Just replace the old definitions by the new ones and in a flash you will have your familiar look back (of course you will then have to add functions to them afterwards). For those of you who want a qick test, they can just try mine, they are also included here (ButtonFunctions). ***WARNING*** If you don´t know exactely how to handle the .fvwmrc then please leave it unchanged, as it should be edited with the same caution as you would edit your startup-sequence on your AMIGA!!! NOTE: Let me know what you think about this AMIGA-X-feeling! 6. Credits ------- At first I´d like to thank TREVOR MORRIS, as he was the first one who sent me a postcard (Look out for his Icon-Archives ´MWBStuff5.lha´ and ´MWB_DOpus_7.lha´ to get more nice MWB-Icons...)! Special thanks to ROMAN PATZNER for his Postcard (I am honoured :) Well, I don´t have to tell you about his RomIcons, do I? :-) More thanks go to Stephan Sürken for his Text2Guide, which was a big help creating both GUIDES :-) Thanks must go to Michael Knoke for his Postcard and his patience in listening to my ideas for MCP and accepting my ´Beta-test-mania´ 8-} Further more I´d like to thank those who sent me an email (in order of reception): - Trevor Morris (Canada - For his nice "Mail-Chats") - Guy Tanner (United Kingdom) - Steffen Helfrich (Germany) - Tony Scott (USA) - Jean-Marc Xiume (France) - "Les Simms" (USA) - Ron Burman (West Australia) - Volker Schmidt (Germany) - Markus Lamers (Germany) - Michael Knoke (Germany) - Michael Kilimann (Germany) Missing YOUR name on this list?

And if I am satisfied then there might be a major update (containing only new icons, NOT newicons ;). Till then I will keep releasing my bugfixes and use the opportunity to include some new icons I made (WHY should you have to WAIT for the major update?)!
