Short: Use 3 bitplane icons on >8 color WB, CGraphX 16&24 too. Author: drizzt@trashcan.mcnet.de (Martin Hauner) Uploader: m hauner tu-bs de (Martin Hauner) Type: util/wb Replaces: util/wb/PatchWBPens.lha Requires: OS 3.x, patch.library Architecture: m68k-amigaos PatchWBPens is a patch like MagicColors for displaying icons stripped to 3 bitplanes in the correct colors on a Workbench screen with more than 8 colors. This Version fixes a small bug and it adds support for CGraphXs 16 and 24 Bit-Modi. FIX - PatchWBPens got the number of colors wrong on a 16 color Workbench and therefore copied the wrong colors. NEW - CGraphX support. PatchWBPens will set the correct colors if you use a CGraphX 16 or 24 bit screen as Workbench. FEATURES PatchWBPens will set the correct color pens when: - the Workbench opens for the first time, - the Workbench was temporarily closed, (normally done by graphics programs to get more memory) - the palette prefs has changed. REQUIREMENTS - It needs the patch.library V3 from Stefan Fuchs (util/libs/PatchLibV3.lha) (included) - AmigaOS 3.x. (not included ;) INSTALLATION Just insert the following line anywhere before LoadWB. User-Startup will be fine. run <>NIL: PatchWBPens MISC - You may remove PatchWBPens anytime by sending a break signal (CTRL-C). Though there is no reason to do that. - Is it possible that setting new pen colors will not work correctly when the palette has changed, i.e. not all pens are changed to the new colors. If that is really the case, PatchWBPens sets the new colors before the Workbench (IPrefs) has changed the colors itself. You can correct this by telling PatchWBPens to delay its work by n/50 seconds. ( run <>NIL: PatchWBPens n ) The default value for n is 1. - PatchWBPens OpenWorkBench patch will not be called, if you have installed PatchControl, which is a replacment for SetMan. With SetMan it will work WITHOUT any problem. I have no idea what is wrong here. PROBLEMS, QUESTIONS? write to: drizzt@trashcan.mcnet.de By the way, would be nice to get any response if anyone else than me is really using it... ;-) Hello to Francesco and Kris.
