Smart Windows V.0.82 - is available for download:
Smart Windows is an OS/2 user interface enhancer with both
aesthetical and functional features.
there are 3 different files:
this archive contains all the program files (327,445 Bytes)
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/smw082.zip
the documentation is here (168,277 Bytes of html and gif files):
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/smwd082.zip
In order to make the archive of the program files smaller
I put the titlebar bitmaps in a separate file (324,168 Bytes):
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/smwb082.zip
smw082.zip include only few titlebar bitmaps and all window
controls bitmaps.
If you still have the old archive smw081.zip you can get the
other titlebar bitmaps from there so you do not need to download
smwb082.zip
the files should be available also here:
ftp://ftp.ghostbbs.ml.cx/pub/os2/os2team/alcant/
and soon in:
ftp://volftp.tin.it/pub/pc/os2/os2_2x/progs/desktop/
I'm sorry, this is not yet the registrable version, in any case
a few bugs in the installer, preferences application and SMARTWIN.DLL
have been corrected:
1. In systems running at 256 colors, after the system palette was changed
by some applications, the titlebar bitmaps weren't able to reset their
colors. Now the bitmaps are refreshed and properly displayed as soon
as the default system palette is reloaded and the window owning the
titlebar gets the focus.
2. In some cases, moving windows in rolled state, was preventing them to
be unrolled later.
3. In some cases, OS/2 and DOS command windows were disappearing from the
screen when rolled and then unrolled.
4. Titlebar and window controls were misplaced when unrolling maximized
windows previously rolled, when the Override default size and position
was set.
5. The Automatic focus feature was preventing drop down menus to work
correctly in seamless winOS/2 windows.
6. The Move the pointer to the focus window feature has been improved.
7. The Enable checkbox in the Functions controlled by the mouse dialog
and in the Mouse mapping page now work as expected.
8. The bug which prevented to set permanently negative positions for
maximized windows has been removed.
You can install it over your previous 0.81 installation
The program archive contains the full documentation in ASCII format
The other archive (smwd082.zip) contains the same documentation in
html format plus images.
I'm still working on the registrable version.
The time expiration will be removed and will be substituted by some
kind of configuration limitation which will not in any case prevent
the full test of the program.
The application will be renamed Styler/2 but the name of the program
files will be left unchanged.
My homepage, is now at http://acsoft.ghostbbs.cx, but there is no file
in the directory... I'll upload the files during next week
bye
