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.
