Annoying border removal?
« on: September 02, 2003, 12:24:19 PM »
Alright... I've racked my brain for hours trying to remember what I installed to remove that annoying border around my WB screen... I don't mean "Backdrop" mind you... I mean the crap behind Workbench that shows up on either side of the screen.

HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Thanks!

Stretch the screen with overscan.

It's maybe MCP (Border blank)?

I use an internal scandoubler on my A1200 and it doesn't allow for blackborder or overscan as far as I can see... anyone know if there is a way around it or if one just have to learn to live with it?

I too have an internal A1200 scandoubler.  Black border programs (such as MCP) don't work on the Workbench screen, but do on all other programs' screens.  Figure that one out. :-?   However overscan on the workbench screen works just fine.  What screen mode are you using?  (I recommend NTSC, PAL or Euro36)

Good luck,
Mike

I think I know whats going on there. I bet the borders are grey on your workbench screen. In fact, for all the screens I bet the borders are colour index zero of your palette. (Which will explain why its fine for other porgrams). Have you tried going into Palette prefs and setting colour zero to black and colour 2 to grey? I think that might help

Say, I think you're right!  Actually now, I do remember looking into this once, but because I was using Magic WB at the time it's color scheme was very specific.  Now that I've got 3.9, will have to look into this again.

Thanks,
Mike

Could you let me know how you get on? I haven't used a native screen since I bought a PicassoIV but I would be interested to see if that was the problem.

Decided on BlackBorder, since MCP and VisualPrefs don't like eachother

"Decided on BlackBorder, since MCP and VisualPrefs don't like eachother"

They work fine with each other. Maybe there's some single option/feature which doesn't work with other.. try to find it :) I don't have any problems running MCP, Birdie, Visualprefs, Magellan2, OS3.9 together... only thing was that one option had to be disabled from MCP when I upgraded to OS3.9, but of course I can't remember which it was :)

For MCP to run happily with VisualPrefs you need to disable the following options of MCP:

- FrameIHack
- SysIHack
- PropHack
- CycleToMenu
- NewGadTools

VisualPrefs replaces all these features with better ones anyway.

Note that if you want to use MCP's WBGauge option then NewGadTools needs to be enabled, but all of the individual patches within it's edit dialog still need to be disabled.

I was going on the info that came with the latest VP install... Besides, VP gave me what I wanted... MCP was what I used before to get rid of the borders... BlackBorder took care of that without the overhead of installing MCP as well. Gotta be efficient when runing a nearly stock A4000  :-(
