@2{THOSE UPDATING FROM DMC GOLD V2.3 @3 }By Andy Gibson @4*2 Please note that you no longer have to have the HEX codes in your DMC.Config2 file! @1 All colours are now taken from the screen palettes to make it easier for everyone to create better looking presentations. @5 The Top Info Bar (see above - the small bar that says things such as ..... Page 1 of 3 etc), now takes its two colours from your DMC.Panel file. It uses the first two colours. The first one for the background and the second one for the text. So now you can easily make your Top Info bar the same shade/colour as your panel with ease :-) @3 As for the colours on the Index pages, well, these are taken from the NEW DMC.BackPic file. Load up any of them to see which colours are used. No you have complete control over how your Index colours look. @4 One major advantage is now you can actually alter the background colours for both the panel and index pages.. @4This is achieved by simply altering colour 0 in the picture palettes of both DMC.Panel and DMC.BackPic. @3 Some neat effects can be achieved by anyone now via their favourite paint package. @5 Please do NOT alter either the Screen Sizes or amount of colours for both DMC.Panel and DMC.BackPic. @1 DMC.BackPic should be 640@1*@1256 with only 4 colours. DMC.Panel should be 640@1*@1256 with 16 colours only. @4 You no longer need to grab your panel as a brush before saving either, as long as it's left in its correct position at the top of the screen. @3 DMC simply cuts it out of the picture now at the correct size. However, you can still grab the panel as a brush and save it via the Brush-Save menu of your paint package if you wish to. So this version of DMC is still compatible with your old panels. @5 Although, you may need to alter cols 1 and 2 to suit the Top Info Bar with older panels :( @4The mouse colours are no longer required. You cannot alter them anymore! Sorry, but DMC simply uses its own default colours for the mouse now to stop any confusion. @3 There are loads more NEW features with this release of DMC for you to explore and learn, but I'll leave that to other articles. @5 Don't forget that if you do have any problems with your production or you have any valid comments/ideas/bug reports, contact myself by post. @1 While you're at it, send me a copy of your production so I can see that you are making the most of DMC's features. @4 So far I've been sent loads of Disk Mags and loads of ideas and every idea from users has been implemeted yet again. Thanx to everyone who has written to myself and for all the support. @3 Without you all, DMC would have died a long time ago. @5 As for Tony Horgan's crappy review of DMC in CU Amiga, well, let's see him moan about Hex values when he reviews this version! :-) @1End.
