Short: Pretty nice toy to improve Your WB look even further! Author: Tomasz Wiszkowski Uploader: Tomasz Wiszkowski Type: util/boot Version: 0.1 Requires: OS 2.0, Datatypes system, some patterns ;) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Name: Spiral Status: audioware (see below) I bet some of You have been disappointed after 0.1a version has been released. Well, I hope You will be satisfied with this version. Yet it can't do too much, however I did my best to change the worst thing in our OS look imo.. And this time it does not only mean screen bar. I know there have been some patches written which make exactly what spiral does now... well, although it is not so flexible and configurable [only one parameter so far ;)], it can do one thing no other patch can. It fills menus with nice patterns [actually same as titlebar, but this may of course change in future].. TROUBLES..? I don't know if it works properly with all the other patches, however, here is actually only one tip: launch Spiral *BEFORE* birdie! Birdie patches some functions with possibly buggy code [atleast I can't draw lines over the bar layer if I launch birdie before spiral - it simply trashes my screen, I don't know why, yet]. I've checked Spiral on my configuration [A1k2, 040/40, 32M, patches: BlazeWCP, CMQ060, FastBlit, MCP1.33] and encountered no problems so far. Should You have any please, let me know. My address can be found at the top and bottom of this text Spiral will recall its presence every 2h or so, it's not very often, since it is a patch which was made to make Your system look better rather than bugging Your head. I hope noone will try to crack it, or else... FUTURE I am afraid I have to say that not really entire menu system has been introduced. There are some lacks which shall be filled, soon, like mutually exclusive or "checkable" items.. I know this is a really big misfeature, but... ok, there's nothing I can say for myself :) moreover I think I've found some great way to parse screenbar. It looks like soon I shall be able to put, ehm, anims over the screenbar [starting with self-calculated ones, like fire]. it will be really easy, I think, but..: SPIRAL's FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS! For those who feel like this project is really cool, I would be really gratefull to get some feedback from You, and since I am a terrible melomaniac, it would be great to get some music of any kind in any format [starting with chip modules and ending with mp3s/cdda]. I suppose it's not really expen$ive to burn one cd or floppy and send it [if it's cheap in Poland, it must be cheap everywhere else hehehe ;)]. If You feel like sending me something - here's my address: Tomasz Wiszkowski Katowicka 23/4 44-335 Jastrzebie Poland I've got only one response so far (greetings to Jurgen Jaschka), and I don't feel like developing the project if noone is interested in it. Sorry...
