Sun Jul 27 17:54:24 1997 This is bptb, Basilisk's Practical ToolBar (or at least, hopefully practical). It features multiple shells (finally got it to work properly!), and pixmaps using libXpm. It also needs Motif 1.2 to run. If you want to compile with Motif 2.0, you'll probably need to add libXext to the link line in the Makefile (LIBS=-lXm -lXt -lX11 -lXpm -lXext). At least I had to, to make it link properly. Each one of the shells can have a different decoration, so that you can make one shell without any decorations at all and another one that only has a dragbar (titlebar, whatever), etc. etc... This can be done by means of the .Xdefaults or .Xresources (or whatever you use). Wed Jul 30 01:28:55 1997 Usage: betbutt datafile The datafile can have any name you want. The program currently does not support toolkit options (don't use XtInitialize() anymore). It will probably not support these options in the future either. I've now included an extra shell. This window controls the multiple shells, when multiple shells are available. It is called "control shell in this" README. The control shell has a red button to quit, a green one to pop up all toolbars, a blue one to hide all buttonbars, and an additional number of grey buttons (equal to the number of toolbars). These grey buttons are a bit longer (twice to be precise) and can be used to pop up toolbars selectively. Try it and you'll know what I mean. Check the .bptb file in this distribution. It'll clear things up as well. Mon Aug 4 01:02:39 1997 Check the TODO! Note the date on the 1.0 beta entry: It's Sun Aug 3 21:48:28 1997. Note the date above this entry: It's Mon Aug 4 01:02:39 1997. This entry here is to tell that this version (1.0 beta) is more stable than I expected. I left the computer running while having a beer a couple of miles from home... I'm back now, and the toolbar is still running. OK, it hasn't been used much, I admit, but in those 3 hours I was gone, bptb kept running and, most important of all, xclock and xload didn't complain! Yeah! Signing off!
