Perhaps you are reading this on a public screen right now? Public screens are very handy. However, public screens are not as configurable as the workbench screen. Most programs that are able to run on a public screen have more or less options to configure the looks of the screen they run on, but programs capable of adding nice patterns or pictures to the screens' background are very rare. The programmers are not to blame, since it would be a waste of HD space if every program had all these options built-in. Wouldn't it be nice if there was just one small commodity capable of opening configurable public screens whenever an application needs one, and closing the screen automatically after the application is done? This is where `ScreenWizard' steps in. Features: * `ScreenWizard' consists of a stand-alone preferences program, and a small commodity. Once the program is configured, only the commodity needs to be resident, eating up very little memory. * Screens are opened and closed just as if the screens were opened by the programs themselves. So now you can give your favourite editor a nice background (instead of the standard boring grey look), without the hassle of opening/closing screens yourself (which is most common for other public screen managers). * Background pictures, as well as background patterns are supported. * Very configurable screens: palette, displaymode, drawing pens and more, all these can be set after your personal taste. NEW FEATURES The following is a list of the most significant changes: * Trim under screen bar can be configured in the drawing pens. * Screen font is now configurable. * Location of multicolor pens can now be configured. This should make things work for a combination of MUI and a MagicWB palette. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Workbench 3.0 or higher.
