Ok Folks, i tried this at my system, and after a lot of hassle, i have my own opinion:
The Scheme looks absolutly superb ! Really !!
But there are some problems, and i think that's the reason to Restore ask us to try it first
So, Restore, i think that the scheme is at first too much hungry for memory. I have An 060/64MHz with 64 MB of RAM, and a Voodoo 3 3000 with 15 MB of Video Ram available for the system to use it. Well, my system only starts to use the Fast Memory for Video stuff, when the Video Ram from Voodoo is low, and after i installed the scheme, there's only 40 MB available to play with. Before, i had 62 MB available. When i start IBrowse, the situation is even worst, and i have only about 32 MB free Fast Memory.
So my first suggestion is to try to reduce the memory requirements. I know, it's not easy. Me, myself couldn't do that, because my graphics abilities sucks. For example, there are images, or textures that are 24 or 32 bit ? Can them be reduced to 16 bit ?
Besides that, i couldn't achive the same result as you on the MUI prefs, because there's one texture missing. It's the image should be on mui prefs, at buttons/background. I can't remember the filename, but i think that's button.jpg, and the file is not included on the archive. So my toolbar appears with an weird gray square behind the buttons.
So my suggestion for the MUI problem is quite simple. Just use the MUI: assign, when configuring your MUI prefs, instead to select DH0:mui/xxx when the image requests appears. Because the MUI: assign is the same for everyone that uses MUI, so you just have to say people to put the patterns on the patterns/ directory at the MUI: assign.
The same could be done for the rest of the files. You could put all the files at the same folder, obviously each one on it's own subfolder, and create an assign to that parent folder. After that, configure everything again, and tell people to create an assign with the same name you use, to their own paths. This way shouldn't be any problem in the installation. You could too create an install script.
I think too, that the MUI prefs could be used as the global prefs, because it's really cool, and this way you can have an uniform system look. You just have to rename the IBROWSE.prefs file that is at the Envarc:mui/ path to <
>.prefs. By the way, the "strange" characters before and after the word global, can be done with the combo alt+9 and alt+0.
Now to be really happy, beside the fact that i would really like to see the memory requirements get lower, i only need know some way to make Powericons works with Dopus Magellan, and Amidock, because the icons appears, but after the reboot they are not at the dock anymore. And of course, i need now some transparent background for the dock too :-D
Anyway, Restore I'm really amazed. Wonderful job !!! Our community thanks you !
