- PrefsPatch 1.2
- (C)1994 Innovative Computer Solutions, All Rights Reserved
- Written by Dan Rowley, Documentation/Icons by Tom Collins
-
- < Overview >
- PrefsPatch is a small patch for the Newton MessagePad which corrects
- what we consider an annoying user interface "feature." Namely, that you
- have to click twice to exit the Prefs or Formulas rolls. When you install
- Prefs Patcher, it replaces the close box in these rolls with one that works
- PROPERLY, requiring only one click to close the roll. You can still click
- on the overview button to get back to the overview. The application also
- places a dual-function button on the notepad status bar for one tap access
- to the Formulas and Prefs rolls.
-
- < Installation Notes >
- Install PrefsPatch as you would any other package (with the Connection
- Kit or some other utility). PrefsPatch will work if installed on a PCMCIA
- card - the patch and notepad button will disappear if you remove the card
- though.
-
- < How does it work? >
- When PrefsPatch starts up, it fixes the Formulas and Prefs rolls by
- placing a REAL close button over the existing one. It also installs a
- button on the Notepad using Jesse Devine's Button Development Kit. When
- you tap on it, the button determines whether or not you hit the Formulas
- half (designated by the "F") or the Prefs half (designated by the "P").
