Short: Define, save & lock ALL Workbench colors! Author: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone) Uploader: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone) Version: 40.19 Type: util/wb Replaces: util/wb/FullPalette18.lha Requires: AmigaOS 3.0+ FullPalette 40.19 (9.11.97) by Massimo Tantignone FullPalette is a patch that, together with a preferences editor, allows you to define and save ALL the 256 Workbench colors and not just eight of them as the standard Palette editor does. You can decide exactly which colors are to be "locked", and thus never modified by programs running on the Workbench screen, and which colors instead are to be left "free" for IPrefs and other applications. Among other advantages, this makes the managing of icons much easier; using FullPalette you can, for example, have icons with any number of colors without risking to see some of them change just because you view a picture with MultiView on the Workbench screen. You could also set colors 4-7 to always be the same as colors 252-255. FullPalette also has a button strip to easily perform editing actions such as "Copy", "Swap" and "Spread". For the purpose of editing the Workbench palette, FullPalette can wholly replace the standard "Palette" preferences editor, whose settings file (palette.prefs) it continues to maintain for compatibility, although FullPalette also uses a custom file. The patch runs alongside IPrefs with no conflicts. ************************************************************** Note: This patch is even more useful when used in conjunction with the "VisualPrefs" patch for the Amiga GUI, which is also available on Aminet as util/wb/VisualPrefs.lha. ************************************************************** Changes: · Fixed a bug in the editor, wasn't always leaving enough space for the slider level numbers (again :-). · Now lock-ups of the Workbench screen at boot time should happen much less frequently, if ever. ************************************************************** Author: Massimo Tantignone Via Campagnoli, 4 28100 Novara (NO) ITALY E-mail: tanti@intercom.it
