- Hello EveryBody,
-
- Those patches have been written over 3 years ago, and were used internally.
- A friend of mine, Jerome Chesnot from RAM (a French Amiga Magazine), told me
- that this kind of patch exists. And it's for this reason that today, we decided
- to put them on Aminet, so you can use them or not, it's your own choice.
-
- Nodraw performs a patch which amllow your Workbench to look like the old 1.3.
- So, no more s... boxes, and now the icons look more natural.
-
- Now you have the choice, use NoDraw or not, but it's your own choice.
-
- This patch is quite stable, I never had any trouble with it, for years now, but
- if you use this program, it's at your own risk (what risk ??).
-
- NoFill adjusts the fill behind the icons to the icons size, so you don't see
- border outside the icons shape, anymore. RectFill can be used with patterns and
- image backdrops but with rectangulars icons (Magic WB style without wrong
- colors like the old one).
-
- Thanks go to John Kjellberg for his excellent idea.
-
- Restrictions:
-
- This patch must be used on a Workbench screen without patterns and images
- backdrop, and with icons like NewIcons, for the best result (see example.iff).
-
- No, now it's a bit wrong. You can now use it with images or patterns backdrops
- but with rectangulars icons. Look at example2.iff, thanks to Robert Spence, and
- look at his excellent work Fantastic WB+ version 2, it looks like Magic WB
- but it's CardWare.
-
- The installation is pretty simple, drag the icons named Nodraw and NoFill and drop
- them into your WBStartup drawer, that all.
-
- Have Fun !
-
- I you have any questions or for anything else, you can contact me via e-mail

-
- Ps Thanks to Jerome Chesnot (jchesnot@pratique.fr) for the picture.
- ("et pour son acharnement a vouloir mettre ce program sur le net". Sorry)
- Thanks to people that sent me cards and e-mails, and to Gerard Cornu.
