MorphOS: ressources-friendly MUI settings (2nd Update)
Oliver 'Bladerunner' Hummel made ressources friendly MUI settings available for users of the PowerUp version of MorphOS. In addition, he recommends the use of the skin "Rainy Blue" that is available on the CD. The effect is clearly visible. Further help can be found in our forum.
Download: Muilight.prefs (15 KB)
Update: (22:15, 28.08.05, snx)
Since the main reason for the performance gain seems to be to avoid the use of gradients, Oliver Hummel has released new MUI settings at MorphZone. Because of a minor mistake in the original settings for Oliver's Cyberstorm skin it is recommended for its users to download these new settings, too.
Alternatively, our reader Jean Holzammer suggests to avoid using skins at all and force the original look of Intuition instead. To do so, you have to rename (or delete) the skins directory in both SYS:Prefs and MOSSYS:Prefs.
Update 2: (22:38, 28.08.05, snx)
Another hint has been posted by 'rzookol' - according to him, the missing font vera.ttf in the mossys:fonts/_ttf directory is also a reason for a lower performance of the PowerUp version. As a solution, you can rename a copy of the font verase.ttf: "copy sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/verase.ttf sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/vera.ttf". Pegasos owners can copy the missing font from their corresponding MorphOS installation.
