Short: Small, quick, and useful taskbar util
Uploader: ah210@chebucto.ns.ca
Author: ah210@chebucto.ns.ca
Type: util/boot
Wibby is (c) 2000-2001 John Mason
Wibby is another taskbar type program, but my main goal in writing it was to make
something that was small, fast, and useful. This version should be considered a
work in progress, although it is 99% functional. I decided to upload it to Aminet
and see if anyone likes it or not; so please let me know if you do!
== DISCLAIMER ==================================================================
As usual, no one, including myself, will be held responsible for any direct or
indirect damages of any kind resulting from the use of Wibby (or the reading
of this text file for that matter!).
================================================================================
Installation:
Put Wibby in your WBStartup drawer. :)
Usage:
Once installed, Wibby will appear when you move the mouse to the bottom of the
Workbench screen. There should be several buttons along the bottom of the screen,
one for each of the currently available objects, depending on the current mode.
There are four modes -- Windows, Screens, Commodities, and Left out icons, so
if you are in windows mode (the default) then you'll see a button for each
window open on the Workbench screen. As you point at one of the buttons, the
Workbench screen's title bar will show you the full title of the object you're
pointing at, as well as the mode that you are currently using.
Clicking on any button should bring that window to the front, and holding shift
while clicking a button should send that window to the back. Also, holding alt
while clicking a button should zip the window, as if you had clicked the zoom
gadget. In other modes, things work slightly differently:
Mode Click Shift Click Alt Click
================ ================ ======--======== =============
Screens Bring screen N/A N/A
to front
Commodities Show commodity's Hide commodity's N/A (kill commodity?)
interface interface
Left out icons Run program N/A N/A
Note that the left out icons mode does not work for all left out icons -- it
tries to Execute() the left out icon, so for it to work properly, the icon must
be for an executable program, and as well the program must run from outside of its
own directory. Finally, it only shows left out icons for the volume named "Work".
In future versions this mode should be a little more complete if anyone actually
uses it :)
To switch modes, simply click the right mouse button once.

be to keep working on the program.
