General OS3.9 Questions
i have some questions, not completely ClassicWB related only, but to Workbech at large.
i have tested the last beta and it seems to work very fine for the rest. 1) why only a bunch of fonts among the many more bitmaps in the font directory are available to set in the preferences? 2) how do you force the workbench' window listing to use Z3 or Fast Mem instead of chip one? (useful for large directories) 3) is there a way in OS3.9 to create a link or clone of a program icon in the workbench window without to use "leave out"/"put away" so to keep one in the program directory? 4) some action in DirOpus, namely, SHOW, seems to work no more with fonts, (if i have not made some mess myself with the configuration files) is that correct? 5) on OS3.9 is there a way to display a clock in the workbench bar and maybe a custom text, like in Scalos? thank you for the cool work Bloodwych! |

Hi Marco, I'll try and answer but some require more research and are probably better off in their own thread.

the font issue is not tied to OS3.9: i don't know why, but as i recall, in every version of Workbench, only some of the fonts in the fonts directory, albeit in the same format as the other do show up for use in the font panel of Prefs.
i asume that for some, like system text, some attribute of the typeface, like size, should be considered, but for the icons in .backdrop that's strange. i don't know if there's some setting to be touched. in DirOpus, the previous versions of ClassicWB DO show the typefaces. but it's not a problem that, i will just have to check if i've broken something in the current one, which i probably did about the ram issue: does it makes a difference about fast ram and z3 fast ram? [edit] @ Global Mod please do remove the last posts to a thread of their own, if you like, i posted it here and only after typed it all, i've doubted it was pertinent... thank you! |

Marco: I think the program to add the Amiga ball is either AmiLogo, or AmiBoing.. possibly both Aminet has them.
