Short: 3.0/AGA Public Screen palette tool Author: tkreuzer@delphi.com Uploader: tkreuzer delphi com Architecture: m68k-amigaos PaletteTool Version 1.4 ----------------------- Features: --------- Opens and operates on the default public screen Gadtools-based user interface, with keyboard equivalents for many of the program functions Full 8 bit RGB support Full AmigaDOS 3.0-compliant locked pen "protect" mode as well as standard "free" mode Fully integrated "color by name" selection, with a built-in database of 507 colors Supports the follow actions: - color spread (multi-directional) - individual color copy - individual color exchange - rotation of palette in both direction - cycling of entire palette in both directions with adjustable cycle speed - individual color "show" (flash selected color) User interface consists of separately controllable windows for: - main functions - color palette (2 sizes) - "color by name" selection Features a single-level "undo" capability Iconifiable, with color cycling controls also available from the programs iconified state Features ability of pick a pen/color from anywhere on the current screen (using the mouse pointer and either the space bar or middle-mouse-button). This type of color "pick" can also be used with the copy, spread, and exchange actions Freatures a "panic" restore button (and key equivalent) so you can restore the palette to where it was at program start "Smart" iconify function Help text (displayed on screen banner) for the copy, spread, exchange, and pick actions Upon exit, restores palette to where it was at start-up Single version for 68020 and up CPUs (all AGA Amigas) Tested OK using the Enforcer Limitations ----------- Can only be used from the Workbench (start via Icon) Requires AmigaDOS 3.0(+) and the AGA chipset Requires a 68020(+) CPU Designed for use with higher-resolution screen modes (640x400 and higher). Note that this does NOT mean the program will not work on lower-resolution screens. What it DOES mean is that you may find the programs windows take up a lot of screen "real estate" on lower-resolution screens For some reason, the "pick" capability (using the space bar and/or middle-mouse-button) does not work correctly when using any of the screen modes supplied by EGS Spectrum graphics boards. I'm guessing this is a problem with the EGS "Amiga screen" emulation
