UROUHACK V0.8 alpha by Tinic Urou in 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: THIS IS A HACK LIKE "SYSIHACK"!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS SOFTWARE DOES CAUSE!!! System requirements: - OS3.0+ (!), OS2.0 was NOT tested and will NOT work, since OS 3.0 features are used. - Preferably a standard MagicWB Workbench Installing: If you use any tools like ProcurePens or MagicWB Daemon, please make sure, that these tools are started BEFORE the Workbenchscreen was opened. Many users put these tools in WBStartup, urouhack won't work correctly then. Launch urouhack before ANY Screen was opened by the system, preferably after "setpatch" in the startup-sequence, but BEFORE IPrefs was started with this line: run >NIL: urouhack SYSGADGETBG For ECS machines use: run >NIL: urouhack SYSGADGETBG COLOR_1_RED=128 COLOR_1_GREEN=128 COLOR_1_BLUE=128 COLOR_2_RED=160 COLOR_2_GREEN=160 COLOR_2_BLUE=160 You can also put the arguments in a file, f.ex. s:urouhack.config You start urouhack in this case with this line: run >NIL: urouhack `type s:urouhack.config` Oops, what a UNIX stuff 8)) Note, that T: should be assigned before. Someone gave me this tip, I just don't know who it was, but I will mention him in the next release when I have examined my mail folder... Other configs are possible, please look down for the supported arguments... If you have any good configs, please send them to me! Contact to the author via EMail: If you want to tell me that urouhack destroys your machine or simply want to have a little chat then write to: 5uro@informatik.uni-hamburg.de ------------------------------ Notes for programmers: If you want to include some of the patches in your programs ( like MCP,MCX, MagicCX etc.) simply leave me a mail, you will get the sources. History: 0.6 first public release 0.7 BorderBottom now font sensitive added arguments for most settings added possibilty keep the blue background for the window gadgets grafical trash should be now removed in most cases palette preferences should now work correctly 0.8 no more manual refreshes now added fine adjust for the bottom size gadgets size gadgets now a bit higher Future: - I am working on a general replacment for all gadgets. It will feature MUI preferences and user customizale gadgets (Yes, also pictures will be supported! 8)) - better documentation (easier to read!) and real preferences handling 8)) - adding the possibility what should be patched - more patches on the standard system gadgets, like checkmarks etc - making it possible to remove some of the patches at runtime. - MagicWB colors for all other screens ( Only the screens with correct color allocations may be used ). This tool patches the following functions and classes with SetFunction(): - OpenScreen() - OpenScreenTagList() - OpenWindow() - OpenWindowTagList() The classes are "patched" by changing the public names of the old classes and inserting the own classes with the orginal names in the classtree. The methods I do not support are simply given to the old class with DoSuperMethodA(): - frameiclass (orginal becomes "breizhclass") - buttongclass (orginal becomes "tiniclass") - sysiclass (orginal becomes "urouclass") These are the arguments, which urouhack supports. Please do not use them, if you don't understand them...
