Short: Draws an outline on your Workbench icon text. Author: Daniel Nyberg and Jonathan Gapen Uploader: Jonathan Gapen Version: 1.1 Type: util/wb This is a partial re-write of the OutlineFont patch program by Danial Nyberg. It draws an outline around the icon labels on Workbench, increasing the readability on some background images, and just generally looking snazzier. I liked the effect, but I thought the whole patching deal of the original OutlineFont program was a bit overkill just to patch a single function. So I took about an hour and re-wrote it to call SetFunction() straight out, and to use dos.library/ReadArgs() to parse the command line. That chopped over 1k off the size of the executable. Not bad. I've included the source to this version, in case anybody gets the urge to hack on it further. I'll probably forget all about it anyway, once NewIcons includes this feature. Here are the original instructions: Requirements: AmigaOS 3.0 or higher. 68020 or better. Installation: Copy OulineFont to c:, or add a path to the OutlineFont directory. Start Prefs/Font Choose "Select Workbench Icon text..." Select the font and field colour you want. The field colour will be used for the outline. Select mode "Text+Field". Select OK; and save the font settings. Add "run >nil: OutlineFont " to your startup-sequence, before LoadWB. "" is the palette number of the text colour you choose in Prefs/Font. "" is the fiels colour. "" is the outline width. Example: "run >nil: OutlineFont 2 1 1" This will use colour 2 for the text and 1 for the outline. The outline width will be 1 pixel. If you are using the standard Workbench or MagicWB palette this will give you a white font text with a black border.
