-
- Copyright 1995 Francois Billard
-
- I What is it ?
-
- XPicture is a small program that will change the preferences
- for WBPicture, at boot time for example. Its argument can be
- a directory or a list of files. It is also able to change the
- tile and centering parameters.
- It requires WBPicture (NickPrefs) and Kickstart 2.04 (at least)
-
- II Configuration
-
- . TOOLTYPES
-
- FILENAME=<list>
- <list> is the name of the file containing the list of
- backdrops and patterns you use. You can build this file
- by issueing the command
- LIST <rep> LFORMAT "%s%s" > my_list
- It looks like this :
-
- sys:prefs/patterns/file1
- sys:prefs/patterns/file2
- sys:prefs/patterns/file3
- PICS:my_pics/file
-
- DIRECTORY=<backdrops dir>
- Xpicture will pick randomly a file in this directory.
- The info files will be ignored.
-
- CENTER=<YES/NO>
- Obvsioulsy, it will make the centering of the picture on/off
-
- TILE=<YES/NO>
- Guess what ? Make backdrop tiling on/off :)
-
- This program has been tested with enforcer.
-
- III Installation
-
- Can't be easier.. Drag the file and icon in the wbstartup drawer
-
- IV Legal Stuff
-
- This program is Copyright Francois Billard. It can be copied and
- distributed freely as long as the copying fee does not exceed the
- normal charges and the files remain unmodified.
- You use this program at your own risk and I will take no responsability
- for it.
