Title: SabreMSN gets a tuneup for AGA Amigas!
Post by: jahc on October 19, 2008, 05:21:41 AM

This is a SabreMSN theme package for use on classic Amigas using PAL/NTSC High Res screen modes, or any other "tall pixel" mode. Parts of the package can be installed and used individually, or together.

Included in the package you'll find:

* Custom pixelled Emoticons and Status Avatars (16colour ILBM format).
* Original sound files converted to Amiga 8SVX format.
* MUI Settings file.
* FullPalette Settings file.
* VisualPrefs Settings file.
* Some nice fonts by Link ( linkcharge.kicks-ass.org )


Requirements:

* SabreMSN ( http://wookiechat.amigarevolution.com/sabremsn ) - Obviously
* FullPalette ( http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/FullPalette22 ) - Only
  important if your Workbench is in 16 colours.
* VisualPrefs ( http://aminet.net/package/util/wb/VisualPrefs ) - Not
  important, but it helps.


Installation:

* Copy the directories GFX/, SMILEYS/, and SOUNDS/ into your SabreMSN/ directory.
* Copy the contents of Fonts/ to SYS:Fonts/.
* Copy SABREMSN.1.prefs to SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/MUI/

* Double-click on FullPalette16 to set your Workbench to the optimised
  palette. Open FullPalette and click "Save" if you're happy with the new
  colours (I've tweaked this palette to be as compatible and flexible as
  possible, it's useful for both MagicWB and NewIcons, as well as Workbench
  games). FullPalette must of course be installed.
* Double-click on VisualPrefs16 and check it all out, if you like it you
  can open the GUI Prefs and click "Save".

Load up SabreMSN and check it out. I hope someone out there can get some
use out of this.

Long Live Amiga!

Rebel.

Note from Jahc: I released a new SabreMSN yesterday that attempts to fix the file transfers aborting midway (it still uses the older protocol though), and should now work for @msn.com addresses, at least it works on mine now!

Can you make a more modern AIM client for Amiga 3.x? :):)
