- WHAT IS MOUSE-XY
-
- This is a little utility that opens a little window in which
- it shows the mouse coordinates and the color at that position
-
- If the left mousebutton is being held down, the coordinates
- is relative to the spot where the mouse was when button got
- pressed.
-
- Moving the mouse out of the screen on which the window is open
- will disable the color-function
-
- Double-clicking the right mousebutton while the window is
- active will make it try to jump to another screen (if any).
-
-
- The program has a couple of nice features:
-
- » It can be started from both CLI and Workbench.
-
- » No need to use 'RUN' or 'RUNBACK' when running this program
- from the CLI. It is auto-detaching.
-
- » The size of the window and the use of colors in it depends on
- the version of the Kickstart/Workbench (1.2/1.3 vs. 2.?). and
- the screen mode (LORES vs. HIRES).
-
- » The window will automatically evacuate any closing screen and
- try to open on another screen.
-
- » The coordinates can still be monitored while you are moving/re-sizing
- a window or moving workbench-icons !!.
-
- Normally this is impossible because intuition freezes all layers on
- the screen by calling 'LockLayers'. But I accomplished it by disabling
- any call that the graphics functions make to 'LockLayerRom' and
- 'UnlockLayerRom' with this windows layer.
