!ReadMe file for !Sunny
By Colin McEwan
Dear User,
This is an extremely silly program by Colin McEwan (WimpMan),which
will sit on your IconBar and turn your pointer into a little sunny face when
required.To brighten up your pointer,select the "Sunny" option from the
main menu.To turn it off,do the same again.Feel free to write to me (I have
a very boring life,you see.) at this address.
11 Helen Way,
Bonhill,
Dunbartonshire,
Strathclyde,
Scotland,

P.S. Acorn Lives !
Version 2.00 addendum. Have just decided to completely re-do everything,so
that's what I did. Now uses Simon Huntingdon's InterfaceManager module
(There,AjC,I've finally got my 3D icon's and interface sorted out!). That
did have the consequence,however,of making it really boring. I'll have to do
something about that.Well,anyway. You now turn the sunshine on or off via
the iconbar menu,and the funny copyright message is no longer there because:
1) I wrote it yonks ago,and now I find it embarrasing.
2) The InterfaceManager bits just didn't seem to want to know.
Well, anyway. I'm off to France for a bit,and I wont be back for about
4 weeks. Until I see you again (Whoever you may happen to be.),Bye-bye,and
don't forget to watch Blossom. (My Fave TV prog.) :-)

Version 2.01 addendum. Got back from France to find a letter from AjC
saying that if I used Interface,he'd send round Jon Ribbens to beat me up.
Therefore decided to completely re-do everything again.Now uses Jon's
WimpExtension module instead.I now have the option of adding a nice scrolly
credits thingie,as WimpExt handles the scrolling properly,and also allows
nice linked windows.Hang on a mo...(noises of scrolly-writing and general
wimp coding.).There,now it has a nice scrolly bit again.Get to it by
selecting the "Credits" option from the menu.Ah,another idea,excuse
me.(noises of cursing as !FormEd decides to swallow nice new RISC OS 3
templates.Disc-drive whirrs as original templates are re-loaded.mouse
clicks and draggings are heard.). Whew! now we have nice outline fonts in
the windows for Risc OS 3.Also,the Risc OS 3 version has nice little
"mini-icons" in the menu. Until we meet again (again),keep your bananas
fresh,and don't bother watching Blossom,'cos it's finished,and it won't be
back 'till the new-year.Send me videos of the original series,as I missed a
fair bit of that :-(

Version 2.02 addendum.Trimmed down memory allocations so that everything
was snug TO THE BYTE.Got the WimpSlot down to 32k,and may go smaller on a
1Mb machine :-) Made Info box appear if "Info" option selected. Added option
to turn on pointer animation simply by clicking iconbar icon.
For further version history, refer to chapter 8 in the !Help file.
