MUI Libraries

[sim085]

Hi,

I was installing MUIBase (download from Aminet) when I was told that I had some missing libraries. I searched for these libraries on aminet as well, found them and continued installing - however during the installation I was told more then one time about missing libraries (always different) and each time I did the same thing.

After installation MUIBase did not want to work. I therefore searched for the libraries again and this time downloaded the 68000 version of them. After doing this MUIBase worked like a charm.

My questions are; Is there a package that installs all the MUI libraries. I would not like to install MUI because I do not want to change the icons - but if the libraries are help full then why not have them!? The other question is this - why is there more then one version of the same libraries on Aminet, some marked as for workbench 3.1 and others marked for 68000 processor?

Regards,

I think you are getting confussed between MUI and MagicWB

Yes I did confuse the two ... sorry for the confusion!

Just another question ... will MUI change any of the default screens of workbench? or it only effects programs developed for MUI such as MUIBase?

[sim085]

It won't change screens or workbench, only as some said, it is a requirement from programs such as MUIBase and may others.

Thanks

Yesterday when I installed MUI (from Aminet) I noticed that none of the libraries in the downloaded package where moved to the Workbench Library folder. I had to do that manually. Additionally the libraries requested by MUIbase where not present and still had to download them separately from Aminet. I downloaded mui38.lha from Aminet and when I installed it I had no error displayed - Installation successful it said at the end!

Is this normal?

When MUI is installed, the libraries are installed in MUI:libs.

The following assign is added to user-startup:
assign libs: MUI:libs ADD[/QUOTE]

Yes you are right. I wonder why when I tried to install MUIbase is still complained about not finding muimaster.library!

That said, libraries such as MCC_BetterString, MCC_NList, and MCC_TextEditor are not part of the original mui38usr.lha package and still had to download these separately from Aminet!

See this page http://www.zerohero.se/mui/ for the latest classes.

Thanks MozzerFan, I understand better now When I go home I'll have to clean my Libs: folder and check that assignment in user-startup is correct... Or maybe I just move everything in MUI in respective Workbench folders like what is done on Classic Workbench.

Thanks again

Sorry to bring this up again but did not want to start a new thread on this. When I start MUIbase the default font is topaz/8. However when I go to another screen the font changes the helvetica/9 . I go to MUI options (this time displayed in helvetica font as well) and change the font to topaz/8 from Window option. However when I click save button the window refreshes and comes up with helvetica font again!! ... However on the first screen changing fonts works just fine.

I know this might be a bug in the program. But wanted to know if this might be because I have a missing library or installed MUI incorrectly!
