- DESCRIPTION
- RndWbPix is a small program that provides random backdrop
- pictures for your wbscreen, wbwindow and drawer windows.
- It runs from the startup-sequence each reboot and picks (a)
- random picture(s) from the specified directory/ies.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- 1. Copy RndWbPix to your C: directory
- Users of OS3.0 should copy RndWbPix_v39 to their C: directory
- (Copy RndWbPix_v39 TO c:RndWbPix).
-
- 2. Next edit the file s:startup-sequence and add the follow-
- ing line somewhere BEFORE C:IPrefs
-
- C:RndWbPix <ROOTPATH> <DRAWERPATH> <SCREENPATH>
-
- where ROOTPATH is the directory that you have your back-
- drop pictures for your wbwindow in eg. SYS:Prefs/Backdrops
-
- DRAWERPATH is the same as ROOTPATH, except that this option
- specifies the directory where you have stored the pictures
- for the drawer windows.
-
- SCREENPATH is the directory where you have stored your back-
- drops for the wbscreen.
-
- Examples:
- C:RndWbPix SYS:Prefs/Backdrops
- RndWbPix changes each boot up the picture for your wbwin.
- C:RndWbPix SYS:Prefs/Backdrops SCREENPATH SYS:Prefs/Scrbdrops
- Same as above but the wbscreen backdrop is also changed.
- C:RndWbPix DRAWERPATH SYS:Prefs/Backdrops
- RndWbPix changes only the backdrops of the drawer windows
- each reboot.
- 3. Save the changes :-)
-
-
- TECHNICAL
- Each time you start RndWbPix it modifies the file
- ENV:sys/wbpattern.prefs. The ENVARC: file stays untouched.
