Workbench tools: ColorfulDrawer and SolidWin
Thomas Rapp regularly publishes and updates various tools on his Homepage, two of which we would like to briefly introduce to our readers.
If you want to add a little variety to the appearance and colour scheme of your drawer icons, take a look at "ColorfulDrawer". It allows you to choose between different basic drawer shapes such as "GlowIcon" or "Copland" and customise their colours:
Once you are satisfied with your work, you can create the drawer in the desired location by selecting "Save as...". The tool requires at least AmigaOS 3.1 with NewIcons and ClassAct or AmigaOS 3.5+/3.2+.
Anyone who wants to move windows on the Workbench will have noticed that the window remains in its previous position until you release the thin window frame that allows you to track the window to the desired new position. With "SolidWin", the entire window and its contents immediately move to the new position. The tool works with AmigaOS 1.3 and above, but according to the author, it requires a little more processing power. (dr)
