Title: Border blanking in Workbench
Post by: fragment on January 05, 2005, 07:01:22 PM

Hi,

Here's my problem.. I'd like to get rid of the grey border around the WB window without changing the palette.

There are numerous utils in Aminet which do this and I've tried many of them but none of them work with my internal scandoubler (DCE FlickerMagic). The border goes black on for example on the composite output, but not on the VGA..

My machine is an A1200 with OS3.9+BB2.

So, any ideas, fellow scandoubler users, or are we all dooooooomed?  :-D

Try this:
Go to workbench menue, scroll to backdrop, unmark it. This may be what you are looking for. If not adjust with your monitor if possible.

I used to enable "border blank" in MCP which worked well for me, but no idea if it'll work with your scandoubler?  Give it a try, though I imagine it'll do the same thing.

These days I use the border blank option in Picasso96, though that's probably no help to you without a GFX card.

The border blanking option in MCP is one I have already tried.

This picture (http://fragment.stc.cx/kuv/ami-vga-comp.jpg) shows how the border blankers work on the composite output, but not on the VGA.

Well mow that this subject is on the Table...:-)

I want to know how to get MultiCX or MCP to make only the Workbench Borders black and NOT other Public Screens?  as it stands right now, it makes all borders black, which screws up my SCALA presentations and so on!

So How do I do it?  is there another utility that does it only to Workbench?

@leirbag28

I use "borderblank" (appropriately called) to blank only Workbench. Then I use ModePro to blank certain other screens that I specify. You could try this. They should be both on Aminet.
