Edit Workbench Titlebar *Please help*

[viddi]

Hi again,

I need a tool to edit the titlebar information.
E.g.: Amiga Workbench (c)1985-......

I used MCP before, but if there is another usable progi out there
please tell me about it.

Hope you can help me.
Thanks again.

Bye,
Viddi.

What's wrong with MCP?

[viddi]

I used it with OS3.5 and now, two years later, I tried it with OS3.9
and had some problems with it.

The machine slowed down badly and killed Amidock right after installation.

As I don´t need the other functions of MCP another app to edit the titlebar would be great.

Weirdo I use MCP 1.45 everyday with OS 3.9 and I have no real problem like the ones you describe.

I understand that if you only need to change the WB title MCP is a bit too much but I don't know any other tool to do it sorry. :/

Killed by Amidock too and other stuff after booting up Workbench after following the instruction advice in the mcp guide.
Guess MCP doesn't like other patches so you have place MCP someplace else in the startup-sequence but that's the tricky part.
Maybe you can post your startup-sequence since you have it working nicely

[viddi]

Hey!
Thanks you two!

@AMIGAZ:

Great idea!
I´ll place MCP somewhere else in the s-seq. I think I can do that
I knock your door if I need your help.
And of course, I´ll open my secret book of startup-sequence.

BIG THANKS!
Have to go now.
See you tomorrow! Bye...

Just wondering - what specifically do you want to do?

[z00mba]

There you go:

IF EXISTS S:CPU-Startup
  Execute S:CPU-Startup
EndIF

Assign >NIL: C: SYS:P ADD ; Where system patchs are located (i.e: MCP, StackAttack, VisualPrefs, etc.).

SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET

C:StackAttack

; MCP's patches controller
C:PatchControl

C:Version >NIL:
C:AddBuffers >NIL: DF0: 30
C:AddBuffers >NIL: DF1: 30
FailAt 21

C:MakeDir RAM:T RAM:Clipboards RAM:ENV RAM:ENV/Sys
C:Copy >NIL: ENVARC: RAM:ENV ALL NOREQ

Resident >NIL: C:Assign PURE
Resident >NIL: C:Execute PURE

Assign >NIL: ENV: RAM:ENV

SYS:System/REXXMast >NIL:

IF EXISTS S:User-Startup

EndIF

Resident Execute REMOVE
Resident Assign REMOVE

StackAttack AUTO

C:LoadWB

; Add extra memory buffer for stability (may prevent some Gurus)
MemTrailer 96

EndCLI >NIL:

Nothing special as you can see.

Patchcontrol started after Setpatch and StackAttack, MCP started right after the Assigns (coz it needs ENV: to be assigned). Setpatch use the NOROMUPDATE switch because I use a custom 3.9 ROM directly.

Apart from that everything important is done in user-startup. The first script (CPU-Startup) is used to install optimised executables for programs based on the active CPU.

All patchs are installed in SYS:P wich is added to C: at the very start.

That's all...

@z00mba

Will give MCP another try tomorrow, thanks for posting your SS

[cooldude]

Maybe try "watcher.lha" (Titlebar editor) on Aminet.
Highly configurable commodity. Works on OS3.9

Cheers
