Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.30
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey).

Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. His work can be supported by a donation from inside TAWS.

Changes of version 0.30:
  • TAWS Early Preset Selection:
    • New menu to select a preset upon starting and booting directly into its configration.
    • By checking «Remember Selection» the selection can be saved (Cookie).
    • By checking «Skip This Next Time» the selection will be be skipped from now on (Cookie).
    • The corresponding setting in «Preferences» is «Skip preset selection on startup» and can be reset there.
    • The menu can fully be controlled by keyboard (cursor keys and shortcuts according to the underlined characters).
    • Clicking «Cancel» will get you to the kickstart image.
  • New Preset: «BetterWB»
  • OS 4.1: keyboard shortcuts for the prefs programs. The following gadgets can be controlled by keyboard pressing the key that's underlined in the corresponding label:
    • Checkbox: check/uncheck
    • Textbox: set focus while «Return»/«Enter» removes focus
    • Cycle: cycle forwards or backwards if shift key is pressed
    • Slider: increase value or decrease value if shift key is pressed
    • Button: click (supported since OS 3.5 and higher)
  • Preferences:
    • Moving settings to their own preferences:
      • Font
      • Workbench, new option: No volume gauge
    • «PowerWindows patch» has been relabled to «Off-screen window dragging»
    • «SolidWindows patch» has been split to:
      • Drag window with contents
      • Resize window with contents
  • Prefs programs: positioning according to OS version:
    • up to OS 2.0: upper left corner
    • up to OS 3.1: upper left corner, but below the menubar
    • ab OS 3.5: centered
  • Prefs programs: from OS 2.0 and higher the labels have colons.
  • Palette: separator added above the buttons
  • AmigaGuide: missing AmigaGuide help files added (for the languages french, spanish, and polish), updated files for all other languages.
  • Amiga Early Startup Control: prevent browsers from blurring the Topaz font.
  • Bugfixes:
    • Improved positioning of the drive icons
    • After «putting away» an icon the scrollbars of its window is recalculated.
    • Presets/Reset to last saved: the color of the active window is now correctly reset to its saved value.
    • Presets: minor color corrections
    • Preferences:
      • Style «OS1» removed for this is not implemented yet (bug since v0.29)
      • Changing the transparency of inactive windows was not set to windows that have been moved previously.
      • After loading icon's style and size from the cookie at startup, the values were only set to drawer icons and not to Workbench icons as well.
    • Deactivated the browser's autocompletion and spellchecking on textboxes
    • Font: changing the default font doesn't affect already opened AmigaShell windows anymore.
    • MagicMenuPrefs: improved position of the %-character
    • Chrome / Firefox / Opera: fixed menu shortcuts
    • MS Edge: fixed gradients in OS4-style (menubar, buttons, cycles)
    • Firefox & AmigaShell: correction of the word wrapping (not yet fixed for Internet Explorer and MS Edge)
    • Odyssey & AmigaShell: workaround for a bug: the character «zero width space» should actually be invisible but is rendered as a square.
    • NetSurf: «JavaScript support is not sufficient» guru is displayed as intended.
    • Safari (Windows): fixed button click that is invoked by a keyboard shortcut (f.e. when creating a new drawer).

Advance booking for Amiga 34 (12./13. October 2019, Neuss) started
On 12. and 13. Oktober in Neuss the Amiga 34 will take place. Now the advance booking has started. There are tickets for Saturday or Sunday as well as two-day ticktes (200). Tickets for Sunday are a little bit cheaper because most of the VIP guests will attend the event only on Saturday while on Sunday mainly the exhibitors are in focus. (cg) (Translation: dr)
