It is an alternative for the normal Exchange and uses @{" MagicUserInterface " link MUI} by Stefan Stuntz. The difference between C='s (or AT's) Exchange and @{b}CxBar@{ub} is that @{b}CxBar@{ub} displays the commodities as buttons (cycles) in a horizontical, one- line-high (bar) virtual group at the bottom of a screen. Every button has a help-bubble which shows the title and the description of the commodity and informs you if it has a window which can be shown and hidden ("GUI: YES" or "GUI: NO"). The help-bubble of @{b}CxBar@{ub} looks like this: ________________________________________ / \\ | CxBar v37.8 (20.07.96) by Thomas Igracki | | A new Exchange clone. | | | | GUI: YES | \\___ ___________________________________/ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\/ If you click on a button (left mouse) a popupmenu will be shown where you can select one of the following commands/actions: ---------- | Remove | -> remove/kill the commodity (w/o requester!) | Toggle | -> activate/deactivate the commodity | Hide | -> hide the commodity/window | Show | -> show/popup the commodity/window | Exchange | -> the name of the commodity, no function ---------- If a commodity didn't has a window/GUI to popup/hide the entries @{b}Hide@{ub} and @{b}Show@{ub} won't be there! If a commodity is inactive the name will be shown in italic style. Hint: If you have a three-button-mouse, you can use the middle button to scroll the buttons to the left or right! If not set @{"Option/Scrollbar?" link Menus}. @ENDNODE @NODE HowToStart "CxBar/How to start" @{LINDENT 3} @{b}Start from a shell:@{ub} [Run] [<>NIL:] @{b}CxBar@{ub} @{b}Start from Workbench:@{ub} Just double-click the icon. Its the best, if you copy @{b}CxBar@{ub} to the WBStartup-Dir or start it in User-Startup. @ENDNODE @NODE Menus "CxBar/Description of the menus" @{LINDENT 3} @{b}CxBar@{ub} has the standard menuitems, they should be self-explained. The menu entry @{b}Options/Iconify gadget?@{ub} specifies if an extra button ("I" for iconify;-) should be visible which iconifies @{b}CxBar@{ub} if you click on it (oh, really?) or press "*". The menu entry @{b}Options/Scrollbar?@{ub} specifies if there should be a scrollbar under the buttons to scroll the buttons to the left or right. Only usefull for user of a 2-button-mouse, because on a 3-button- mouse you can use the middle to scroll the buttons! @ENDNODE @NODE Register "CxBar/Register" @{LINDENT 3} You only have to fill out the @{"register formular" link Registration.txt} and send it to me. @{"Via eMail or snail mail" link Me}. The share for @{b}CxBar@{ub} is $10, 10DM or the appropriate amount of your countries money. @{"You can transfer it to my bank-account or send it in cash." link Me} In the @{b}unregistered@{ub} version there appears a requester from time to time which should remind you to pay the share! If you register @{b}CxBar@{ub}, you'll get a keyfile, which turns off the reminder-requesters. @ENDNODE @NODE Registration.txt "CxBar/Registration.txt" To: Please register me for "CxBar" Thomas Igracki Siegener Str. 34 13583 Berlin Deutschland _ FirstName: Name: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Street: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ZIP,City: Country: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ EMail: Phone: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Payment by: [ ] Cash (please don't send coins) [ ] $10 (US dollar) [ ] 10 DM (Deutsche Mark) [ ] Money transfer of 10 DM to this account: Thomas Igracki Sparkasse Berlin Account 860 169 138 BLZ 100 500 00 Write a litte note (who you are etc) on the transferformular!
