Need a Guinea Pig to test Widescreen Reqtools Fix.

[DisasterIncarna]

Just need somebody to test this rebuilt reqtools library, currently compiled for 68k 68020, cant remember if the original is 68000, will rectify that if this works for anyone else, currently its 1 of those "works for me" type things, and even then its working in an emulated environment, under OS3.2.1, so no idea if it will explode or fail or whatever on anything else.

If your also using emulated environment, maybe copy/paste your setup, again incase of anything weird or unexpected.

I am, quite surprised it was never done previously as the code is pre-built to rescale/downscale buttons and the window size itsself if any of them get too big, so sizing up the window and buttons just ends up kind of working.... for me.

Quick pic showing the results i get is attached. and the zip file with the library is also attached, please backup your old ReqTools.Library incase of world ending implosions and the likes.

You can blame the multiple, rapid updates to HippoPlayer for me trying this little quality of life update, updates to hippo means i'm using it more, and its playing not just my usual mods, but MP3's, and trying to access my MP3 collection on my Home NAS with the original reqtools file requester meant i couldnt see a blasted thing as the filenames are all too long and Reqtools only scaled vertically.

Hense this fudged version, any brave volunteers are appreciated so it does more than "work for me".

Cheers.

So far so good, nothing to report, except everything looks and works fine.

good stuff, nice when something works for more than just me.

This is really looking awesome on my 800x600 workbench.

At first I noticed a weird flash when I closed a program I was trying out and started with a requester, but I tried it again with my old reqtools library and the flash still happened. So it wasn't a problem with the new version.

I will definitely keep this.

good stuff, dont worry about the size, it already had/has code within it to shrink the requester to fit the screen width if too large by default so nothing should break on lowres screens for example.
