Short: Popup-palette on frontmost screen *KYZSMLCLXN* Author: Kyzer/CSG Uploader: Kyzer/CSG Type: util/cli Replaces: util/cli/ksc_RTPal.lha NOTE: This program requires any version of reqtools.library which is available on aminet or from PD disks, or coverdisks. This is a handy little program that replaces the functionality of a tool that came with Workbench 2, called "Colors", so I'll just nick it's docs :) Colors lets you change the colours of any screen, even a screen without it's own built-in palette changing facility. However, colour changes made with Colors are only temporary, they cannot be saved to disk like Workbench colours. To change the colours of a screen, Colors must open on that screen. To do this, maneouver the screen whose colours you want to change to the frontmost position, using the top-right screen depth gadget. Once it is at the front, drag it down, and any other screens in the way, until you can see the workbench screen. Now run RTPal by double clicking on it's icon. RTPal has now opened on the frontmost screen, so drag it up again, and edit the colours with the palette requester. Click on 'OK' to keep any changes you make to the palette, click on 'Cancel' to restore the original colours, clicking 'undo' will undo the last change you made. 1.3 compatible This is an update - since RTPal did pretty much the same thing as Colors from WB2, I added the ability to run it from a real icon on Workbench and renamed it Colors in its filename and titlebar, just like the real "Colors", and I provided an icon. And it's still under 256 bytes! Doncha' just love assembler ;-) If you want, you can copy this to SYS:Tools/Colors instead of to C: **************************************************************************** * THIS PROGRAM IS PART OF THE "KYZER'S SMALLS" COLLECTION * * * * The KyzSmlClxn is a set of very small, but useful CLI commands. * * * * Source in assembler is included.
