SkinCrop - Easy xxxAMPxxx Skin creation script for ImageFX.
                           version 0.8


This script can now be used to VERY easily create Skins for all those so
famous MPEG-audio players on Amiga, and propably PC WinAMP too...

The script will ask you to choose the buffer where the image to be
converted will be stored and informs if something is wrong.

Output fileformat can be selected from IFF (8/24bit), JPG or BMP types.

All temporary & final images will be saved to the selected path
overwriting anything that exists!

More information about Skins and how to construct them can be found at:

HOW2USE: Just copy the script to ImageFXs Rexx-directory. Load an image &
         resize if neccessary. Then execute the script, choose options &
         wait a bit. (It took about 30 seconds for me with the defaults.)


HISTORY:

 0.1   31.05.99
            - Just had an idea and started this thing out.
              (It actually seems to be working quite OK.)

 0.2   01.06.99
            - Some coordinate adjustments to suit better for AmigaAMP.
            - Cleaning the script (SPEED) & commenting it a bit.
            - Imagebuffer selector & sizecheck added.
            - Now copies the titlebar from the main image too.
            - Some more frames added to the buttons to help to coordinate.
            - Added destination directory requester & few error handlings.

 0.3   02.06.99
            - Added some conversion options to create a framed backup of
              the main image (MAIN_BAK) to help finding the used areas, to
              set the frame color, to delete the temporary images, to
              disable the NUMBERS, PLAYPAUS & TEXT images creation & to
              disable the creation of help frames.
            - Now resets the drawtool, mode, style & colors to defaults.

 0.4   04.06.99
            - Added option to create 3D beveled edges ready for the buttons.
            - Added few more output filetypes to choose from. (The backup of
              MAIN image is still saved in the IFF-ILBM format for quality.)

 0.5   17.06.99
            - Fixed the beveling to create a bit more rounded edges.
            - Added options to create a custom NUMBERS & PLAYPAUS images.
            - Added one more help frame to the end of NUMBERS that seems to
              be shown if no songs are loaded when a new skin is loaded.
            - Added some more look to the POSBAR, VOLUME & PANNING sliders.
            - Added option to bevel also the MAIN image.

 0.6   23.06.99
            - Added option to create markings for the play-control buttons.
            - Changed file VOLBAR to VOLUME as this seems to be the name
              used more often and works now on TMLG too.
            - POSBAR, VOLUME & PANNING sliders now use the help frame color.
            - Fixed a little graphics bug between SHUFFLE & REPEAT buttons.
            - Changed default options a bit (Hopefully doesn't matter).
            - Added option to change the amount of beveling.
            - Added option to create lights for the SHUFREP images.
 0.7   05.07.99
            - Fixed a little bug in the MONOSTER image (TMLG once more).
            - Fixed few coordinates to make the skins more compatible with
              AmigaAMP, AMPlifier, TMLG (and WinAMP if you prefer that).
            - Added option to create beveled edges for the other visuals.
 0.8   09.07.99
            - Added Crop & Scale features (well, a sort of like that).
            - Added 8bit rendering for AGA users, but to get rid of those
              are you sure requesters the only way seems to be to disable
              verify from the prefs.
            - Added 3bit (~8 color) TEXT image I use for testing the script
              to the archive for "lazy" people disliking the frame cubes.
            - Added bit more look to the TITLEBAR image for other players.
