- Are you (like me) tired of pattern in the windows drag-bar. If you
- are then here is a chance to change it.
- This is a small utility, which lets you draw a new pattern
- and the mask (stencil) put over it to show that the window is not
- active.
-
- The pattern and the mask resides in the private part of
- intuitionbase, and therefore the program MAY NOT work with KickStart
- versions higher than 1.3 (Works fine with both 1.2 and 1.3).
- The current sizes are 16bit*8bit for the pattern, and 16bit*4bit
- for the mask.
-
- What the program does is to let you define a pattern and a masks,
- which you can save to disk as an executable file. This file can be
- from the CLI (e.g. in your startup-sequence) or from WorkBench.
-
- The program opens a window in which it displays:
- a: Two Drag-bars (an active and a 'ghosted' non-active).
- b: Two drawings of the pattern and mask in natural size.
- c: Two draw-areas showing the enlarged pattern and mask, which
- you can change by clicking on the 'pixels'. Clicking on the
- 'pixels' inverts them and you can immediately se the result
- in the two drag-bars and in two drawings of the pattern and
- mask in natural size.
- d: A string gadget named 'Save as..' in which you can write the name
- of the executable file to create. You save the file by pressing
- RETURN while this gadget is active. Suppose you have created a
- pattern and saved it in a file named 'FunnyLook', Typing 'FunnyLook'
- from CLI will install the pattern and mask you created. If you have
- saved the file with an icon, you can also install the pattern from
- the WorkBench.
- e: A gadget named either 'Save WITH icon' or 'Save WITHOUT icon' which
- indicates whether or not an icon should be created the next time
- you save an executable file. Clicking on this gadget will reverse
- its state.
-
- ATTENTION: If you choose to save the file WITH an icon, the icon will show
- which pattern the executable file will install when it is run.
