It makes color 0 of the Icons transparent. This is especially useful with NewIcons which introduced borderless (transparent) Icons with V3.0. Anyway NewIcons did not remove the Border when you dragged the Icons. @{B}Note:@{UB} You don't need NewIcons to use this Commodity! @ENDNODE @NODE "Requirements" "Requirements" @TOC "Main" PowerIcons should run on any machine with Amiga OS 2 or higher.

Therefore you can (and probably should) deactivate the checkings with @{FG SHINE}NOBACKFILLCHECK@{FG TEXT}. @{FG SHINE}LITTLEMEM:@{FG TEXT} With this option PowerIcons will eat very few memory. It will just allocate enough memory to hold the patch and quit immediately. With this option you will not be able to quit or disable PowerIcons and it will not appear in Exchange. Don't try to start it twice. If you do the patch is installed once again. Remember again, there's no way to quit it. Actually with the LITTLEMEM option PowerIcons only eats 169 Bytes!! @ENDNODE @NODE "FirstAid" "First Aid - Trouble shooting" @TOC "Main" If PowerIcons doesn't work on your machine (border is still there when dragging the Icons) try to set the @{" Tooltype " LINK "Configuration"} @{FG SHINE}NOBACKFILLCHECK@{FG TEXT}. @ENDNODE @NODE "History" "History" @TOC "Main" @{B}V 1.0+@{UB} @{FG SHINE}27.04.97@{FG TEXT}: - First release on Aminet @{B}V 1.2@{UB} @{FG SHINE}31.05.97@{FG TEXT}: - PowerIcons now quits when you try to start it while it is already active. - PowerIcons when removing the Patches did not check whether other Programs had patched the same Functions. Could lead to a crash when you tried to quit PowerIcons. - BACKFILL Icons were trashed. This should be fixed now. @{B}V 1.3@{UB} @{FG SHINE}08.06.97@{FG TEXT}: - Possibility to deactivate Backfill Icon checkings. - Added WaitBlit() to patch. On very fast machines Power- Icons might not have worked. @{B}V 1.4@{UB} @{FG SHINE}18.08.97@{FG TEXT}: - Rewrote program in C. The executable is now a lot shorter. - Fixed stupid bug in the CX routines. Active/Inactive messages coming from Exchange were handled but I forgot to activate or disactivate the broker. - Added LITTLEMEM option. When activated, PowerIcons will alloc memory for a copy of the patch and will quit immediately. It will not be possible removing/activa- ting/disabling the patch but the overall memory usage will be very very low (less than 200 Bytes!!). @ENDNODE @NODE "Author" "Author" @TOC "Main" @{U}PowerIcons was created by:@{UU} Georg Steger Hochlercher 30 I-39030 St. Johann SOUTH TYROL - ITALY @{U}Send Bug-Reports, Comments to:@{UU} EMail: steger@pass.dnet.it PS: - Write in German (prefered), Italian or English! @ENDNODE @NODE "OtherStuff" "Other Software created by Georg Steger" @TOC "Main" @{" Image " LINK "OtherStuff.gif/main"} @{FG SHINE}____________________________________________________________________________@{FG TEXT} ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ @{FG SHINE}@{B}PowerCrawler V1.10 (SHAREWARE):@{UB}@{FG TEXT} A Map-Editor with some incredible features: o Blocksize from 1 x 1 to 255 x 255 o Mapsize from 2 x 2 to 32767 x 32767 o Upto 10 Layers (not parallax) with Mask-Support o Localized o Userdefined Screenmodes/Fonts for Editscreen o Userdefined Font for Main Window on Workbench o Fontsensitive GUI o Userdefined Screenmode for BlockScreen o External Loader/Saver-Support o Many Draw-Tools (Freehand, Line, Rectangle, filled Rectangle, Airbrush,Fill) some with variable modes (vertical/horizontal Filling, OnePointPerRow/Column-Line, ...) o MAP-EDITING WITH VARIABLE ZOOM (1% - 100%) o Zoom Pre-Calculation for faster Editing o Fliptable for controlled flipping o Savable MAP-PREVIEW (1% - 100%) o Brushes.
