Short: Configure the look of the Amiga GUI! Author: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone) Uploader: tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone) Version: 1.0a Type: util/wb Requires: AmigaOS 3.0+ VisualPrefs 1.0a (26.7.97) by Massimo Tantignone **** This is a just a small update to fix some minor bugs **** VisualPrefs is a patch which allows you to customize with great freedom many aspects of the look of the Amiga GUI. If you do want to see for yourself what VisualPrefs is able to do, just take a look of the preview image supplied with this archive. Using a comfortable preferences editor, you can configure many details like: · different light/dark colors for active or inactive windows edges · the thickness of all four window borders (also with system gadgets) · the height of window/screen titlebars regardless of the font height used · the system gadgets style (also for MUI/KingCON/ClassAct titlebar gadgets) · the exact look of the BOOPSI and GadTools 3D frames · the look of GadTools proportional gadgets · the position of window titles (centered in dragbar or in whole titlebar) · the fill color of inactive window borders ... and also other interesting things. By the way, VisualPrefs contains all the functionality (and more) of my previous patches Prop3D and CenterTitles. You can configure individually the GUI of each different screen opened by your applications, as well as define a global GUI look. I know there are other programs doing some of this, but none of them has all the features offered by VisualPrefs. This program is shareware. *************************************************************** Note: This patch works even better when used together with the "FullPalette" program, which is also on Aminet, currently as util/wb/FullPalette17.lha (but the number may change). *************************************************************** Changes: · Fixed some bugs in the installation script. · Added a few more safety controls in the GUI editor. · There were some cases in which the Workbench screen would lock up if closed and reopened. Now this shouldn't happen anymore. · Slightly modified the documentation. *************************************************************** Author: Massimo Tantignone Via Campagnoli, 4 28100 Novara (NO) ITALY E-mail: tanti@intercom.it Note: I'll be in vacation until September 20, 1997, so I probably won't be able to answer e-mail before then. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 6972 2981 57.2% 20-Jul-97 00:38:22 +gui.catalog 940 347 63.0% 22-Jul-97 23:09:28 +DocsEnglish.info 33650 13001 61.3% 27-Jul-97 01:32:30 +VisualPrefs.guide 2056 603 70.6% 21-Jul-97 12:01:30 +VisualPrefs.guide.info 940 347 63.0% 22-Jul-97 23:09:28 +DocsItaliano.info 36096 13995 61.2% 27-Jul-97 01:32:56 +VisualPrefs.guide 2056 605 70.5% 21-Jul-97 12:01:58 +VisualPrefs.guide.info 4196 685 83.6% 24-Jul-97 12:13:42 +Doc.info 4584 2113 53.9% 18-May-97 01:13:42 +GUI.info 10481 2926 72.0% 26-Jul-97 21:51:02 +Install 679 344 49.3% 22-Jul-97 23:08:14 +Install.info 1860 1339 28.0% 26-Jul-97 21:12:04 +AddLine 1576 978 37.9% 24-Jul-97 12:14:02 +Doc.info 1816 1112 38.7% 18-May-97 01:17:00 +GUI.info 1149 774 32.6% 24-Jul-97 12:14:22 +Doc.info 2198 1040 52.6% 18-May-97 01:17:54 +GUI.info 940 342 63.6% 22-Jul-97 23:09:28 +Prefs.info 90044 45528 49.4% 26-Jul-97 13:37:12 +GUI 1303 443 66.0% 01-May-97 15:59:58 +GUI.info 940 350 62.7% 22-Jul-97 23:08:34 +Presets.info 1706 264 84.5% 20-Jul-97 18:20:54 +GUISample.pre 420452 61915 85.2% 26-Jul-97 21:47:54 +Preview.ilbm 1224 367 70.0% 22-Jul-97 23:08:14 +Preview.ilbm.info 1143 610 46.6% 26-Jul-97 17:03:32 +Read me! 3155 623 80.2% 19-Jul-97 10:06:16 +Read me!.info 940 347 63.0% 22-Jul-97 23:09:28 +Tools.info 41 41 0.0% 21-Jul-97 12:17:36 +Empty for now 64540 36762 43.0% 26-Jul-97 12:35:54 +VisualPrefs 940 349 62.8% 27-Jul-97 01:36:58 VisualPrefs.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 698617 191131 72.6% 29-Jul-97 00:04:00 29 files
