One recommendation, however would be to rename the images drawer in DOpus5: to something else and then copy the included images drawer into DOpus5: (since this is where DOpus looks for icons be default). As for the @{"pictures and the guide" LINK "DownLoad"}, you can delete them when you're done with them (although you might like to hang on to the @{"DOpus5Icons picture" LINK "DownLoad"} which serves as a good template for drawing your own icons and an index when you're not sure which icon to pick). @ENDNODE @NODE "HintsTips" "Hints & Tips & HELP!" @NEXT "HintsTips" @{fg shine}Hints & Tips & HELP!@{fg fill} · If you decide to use the included toolbar icons, it is a good idea to delete or rename the @{b}default images drawer@{ub} in @{b}DOpus5:@{ub}. Then copy the @{"Images" LINK "Images"} drawer included in this archive into your @{b}DOpus5:@{ub} directory (since this is where DOpus looks for images by default). · If you want to make a drive bank (similar to DOpus4) you can use a button bank with the @{b}ScanDir@{ub} command (see my @{"DOpusScreen.pic" LINK "DownLoad"}). @{fg text} · Is it possible to have drives (icons on the DOpus screen which do not necessarily exist on WorkBench? For instance, for an assign? · Is everyone having the same problems I am with snapshoting icons in DOpus.. wherever you snapshot the windows in DOpus is where they end up on the workbench? Am I doing something wrong? @{fg fill} -> Answered by @{"Leo Davidson" LINK "Author"}: Yes, there is currently no way around this :( @{fg text} · What the hell happened to the SWAPDIR and COPYDIR commands? Is there a way to impliment this through other commands (to operate on the source and the destination)? · Does it annoy anyone else that when you click on the button banks that they remain highlighted and then you have to go back and click on the window? Once the operation has been preformed, the window in which the action was preformed should be rehighlighted...right? · Can you save the prefs so that the clock remains ON? @{fg fill} -> Answered by @{"Leo Davidson" LINK "Author"}: Yes, but you must quit DOpus for the changes to remain in effect. @{fg text} · I wish you could get rid of the borders on the button banks...what a waste of space! · How do you replace the cycle gadget in the ToolBarLister? @{fg fill} -> Answered by @{"Leo Davidson" LINK "Author"}: See @{"Images" LINK "Images"} - at the bottom of the page, there is a note on how to replace the cycle gadget. · Here another good tip from @{"Leo" LINK "Author"}: @{"How to add an LHA Dest. file requester" LINK "LHA"} @{fg text} · I haven't got time to write any more. @{fg fill} If you have answers for any of these @{"I'd love to hear from you" LINK "Author"}.

MagicWB is a full replacement for the graphic user interface of the Workbench and has become the standard on the Amiga. MagicWB 2.0 is completely restructured on a new color-allocation scheme which more than doubles the speed of the WB and reduces chip-consumption to only a third compared with all previous versions and also features a highly improved color palette. MWB 2.0 introduces a never-before-seen standard for over four dozen of new image-drawers to achieve a more diversified look on your WB. More icons, dock-brushes, a dozen of new patterns, fonts and a AA-support complete this special product. To get the 'real' look and feel of MagicWB, you should make sure that... · ...you have set the MagicWB-Palette. Do this by clicking on the 'ClickFor Colors' icon. · ...you have set the resolution of your Workbench to a aspect ratio near 3:4 like 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768. The demo-version can be found on Aminet biz/demo/MagicWB20d.lha. @{b}MagicWB is © by Martin Huttenloher.@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE "LHA" "Adding LHA with a destination file requester" @PREV "LHA" @{fg shine}Adding LHA with a Destination File Requester@{fg text} To add an LHA command to DOpus with a destination file requester use the following to define either a button, a menu item or a gadget: TYPE: COMMAND: @{b}------------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub}@{fg fill} @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - FailAt 21 @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - DH0:C/RequestFile DRAWER={d} PATTERN=#?.(LHA|LZH) NOICONS @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - PUBSCREEN=DOPUS.1 SAVEMODE >PIPE:{Qp} @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - IF FAIL @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - QUIT @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - ENDIF @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - Set FileName `TYPE PIPE:DOPUS.1` @{b}AmigaDOS@{ub} - DH0:Tools/System/Packers/Utils/LHA -r -x u `Get FileName` {O}@{fg text} @{b}------------------------------------------------------------------------------@{ub} Check the following flags: @{fg fill}· CD source · Output to window · Window close button@{fg text} @ENDNODE
