Short: Win95 style taskbar v5.2 (Speed increase) Author: Robert Ennals Uploader: ennals@kingston.ac.uk Type: util/wb Replaces: taskbar5_2.lha Amiga TaskBar - Version 5.3 What is it? *********** Just like the much praised Windows 95 taskbar, but for WorkBench Simply click on buttons to maximise, bring to front or panel any workbench windows. This is an essential addition to everybodies WBStartup Drawer and at only 37k it isn't going to waste disk space. >> If you have used a previous version (eg v3 that was released with Amiga Shopper) then read the changes section. >> If you are new to TaskBar then go staright to the features section. Changes from other versions *************************** Changes since version 5.2 * Fixed a nasty bug that could cause it to crash * Made the bar indicate the currently selected window by indenting the button. * Smarter handling of window closing * Smarter handling on windows changing their names Changes since version 5 * Now runs significantly faster Changes since version 4 * Can now panel windows vertically as well as horizontally * Now launches correctly from WBStartup (I'm really sorry about that bug) * Display problems on start menu sorted out * Shrink option allows the TaskBar to shrink to a single button (due to popular demand) * Windows and screens added to start menu (useful when shrunk) * Avoid window option added to avoid windows owned by certain tasks * Maximise now maximises horizontally and vertically * Web support site created + many other little changes Changes since version 3 (the version released on Amiga Shopper) * Enforcer hits fixed (sorry about that one) * Can open on any public screen * Stays on top of all other windows * New GUI design, bypassing GadTools * Better program launching + many other additions I received many suggestions from users of TaskBar 3 and 4 and most have been implemented! Features of TaskBar 5 ********************* * Can Maximise, Minimise, Panel and order all intuition windows * Can launch any task - including as from workbench (with WBStartup) * Font sensitive * Can open on any public screen * Can avoid windows owned by certain tasks (eg ToolsManager) * Can shrink to a single button or grow to a full bar ***************** * * * Download Now! * * * ***************** WWW support site now on line http:/.members.aol.com/ennals/taskbar.html ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 37892 17980 52.5% 15-Feb-08 07:01:04 taskbar 17451 7013 59.8% 15-Feb-08 07:01:10 taskbar.guide 469 223 52.4% 15-Feb-08 07:01:10 TaskBar.guide.info 928 265 71.4% 15-Feb-08 07:01:12 taskbar.info 1388 525 62.1% 15-Feb-08 07:07:20 Taskbar4.prefs 450 201 55.3% 15-Feb-08 07:42:34 Taskbar4.prefs.info 5012 3369 32.7% 15-Feb-08 07:08:12 tellscreens 860 216 74.8% 15-Feb-08 07:07:36 tellscreens.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 64450 29792 53.7% 21-Apr-96 11:47:22 8 files
