PowerWB improves the good (??) old (!!) standard Workbench of the Amiga a
little bit. I know there are more and more Workbench replacements coming
out, these days. Some of them are really good but anyway not everybody
of us will stop using the standard Workbench, whatever the reasons might
be (too much memory usage, incompatibility, too expensive, too slow etc.)
PowerWB adds the following new features to the Workbench:
- It will be possible to scroll the contents of Workbench drawer windows
with the cursor keys
- You will be able to assign standard shortcuts to any Workbench menu. You
don't have to hold down the Amiga Key, but if you want to, this can be
configured (for each single shortcut you define)
- You can add any number of gadgets to the titlebar of the Workbench drawer
windows and assign any Workbench menu to them, which will be called when
you click on the gadget.
- You can define real Hotkeys (no Workbench window needs to be activated)
for some useful operations.
- It's possible to open a new drawer window and at the same time close the
active window (i.e. the window that contains the drawer icon, or in other
words, the parent window of the new window) by holding down configurable
keys when double-clicking the drawer icon.
** Changes in V0.8 **
- Shortcuts are completely configurable
- Gadgets for the titlebar of WB windows are completely configurable
- Prefs program!!! Needs MUI. Might not work on OS 2.x
** PowerWB is Shareware! **
