NAME MapCol - Change workbench object colors MapCol 1.4 90/03/21 14:48:42 SYNOPSIS MapCol [ ] DESCRIPTION Have you ever wanted to change the color of an icon and dreaded going into an icon editor and redrawing every blasted pixel? Well, here's the quick fix. This program, MapCol (short for MAP COLor), will change every occurence of each color in an icon to a color you specify. The Workbench screen has four colors, numbered 0 through 3. Color 0 is the background color. The default colors in WB 1.3 are: 0 = Blue, 1 = White, 2 = Black, 3 = Orange For each color number, MapCol will ask what color number you would like it changed to ("mapped to"). MapCol is intended to be run from a Shell (or CLI). There are two ways to use MapCol. Either type MapCol , and MapCol will ask you for each color mapping, or the color mappings may be specified on the command line following . EXAMPLES For instance, to change the colors of the Empty drawer from white (color #1) with black (color #2) to orange (color #3) with white (color #1), type MapCol Empty 0 3 1 2 Or, to change the Workbench disk colors from a black disk with an orange shutter to an orange disk with a black shutter, type MapCol Disk 0 1 3 2 Note that the above examples assume that the Current Director is set appropriately. DIAGNOSTICS MapCol: Cannot open the icon library The file icon.library cannot be found in the LIBS: directory(s) MapCol: Cannot open workbench object The attempt to get workbench object failed. Check for the existence of a file .info. Also check that the current directory is set appropriately. MapCol does not understand this Disk Object version. Either the Disk Object is bad, or Workbench is writing different types of Disk Objects nowadays and MapCol doesn't work with them. MapCol expects an integer for color , but it found "". The that MapCol found when trying to read the color mapping for color is not a valid decimal integral number. MapCol: Image Depth is not 2 bitplanes!! The icon image is not a four-color icon. (i.e. it does not have two bitplanes.) AUTHOR John A.
