- SysTips: System Tooltip Utility for Windows 95
- Version 0.3, 4/29/95 by Mark Gamber
- For Windows 95, build 347 or better
-
-
-
- SysTips is a small utility designed to help those new to the Windows 95
- interface by providing "tooltips" for system items such as the Close button,
- Sizing buttons, System Menu and sizable borders.
-
-
- To begin using the program, you may either copy SYSTIP.EXE and STIPDLL.DLL
- to a common directory (c:\windows, for example) and start it as any other
- program, or install it using Control Panel. Start the "Add/Remove Programs"
- item and select the "Windows Setup" tab. Select "Have Disk..." and enter the
- path to SYSTIP.INF. Select "OK" and the item should be displayed and, after
- checking the item and selecting "Install", it should copy and create a folder
- and Start Menu entry for the program. If the Control Panel installation is
- used, it may be removed by simply unchecking the item in the "Windows Setup"
- dialog box tab and selecting "OK".
-
-
- Upon starting SysTips, a small icon should appear on the taskbar somewhere
- close to the clock. The icon, which looks like a pointer with a small window,
- may be double-clicked to display a dialog box from where you may close the
- program by selecting "Exit". The delay time, the amount of time you must keep
- the mouse still over an object, may also be set between 250 and 999 milli-
- -seconds. After changing the value, press "OK" to save the changes or press
- the "ESC" key or use the Close button to close the dialog box without saving
- any changes.
- Note that to prevent tip window collisions, SysTips does not apply itself
- to the tray or anything residing within it.
-
-
- SysTip messages are kept in the registry and may be changed at any time.
