D2A - Dopus 2 Ambient commodity patch

©2004 Dreamolers-CAPS

DISCLAIMER

	D2A is a hack. The authors give no guarantee that it will work on your machine! Don't blame us
	if a school near you explodes or your neighbour connects 1000V to your wall sockets (don't
	blame us in any other case as well). Use it at your own risk :)

1. What is it?

	D2A is a simple patch that allows one to open Magellan listers by clicking on Ambient's root
	window.

2. Installation/Requirements

	D2A uses arexx interface to open Magellan listers, be sure you've got arexx set up and running.

	You need to run both Ambient and Magellan at the same time (which implies using Ambient's
	icon/workbench.library!). In order to hide Magellan's window you MUST DISABLE the Backdrop
	(rcommand + b) mode of Magellan's root window and Save Layout !

	Now just drop D2A to WBStartup and/or launch by doubleclicking on it's icon. The Magellan's
	window will disappear (get iconified) and a doubleclick on Ambient's root window will
	open a Magellan lister.

3. Known problems

	a) D2A will not open a lister if you moved the mouse between 2 clicks, get something strong
	to drink (Morgoth makes very good coffee btw!) if your hands are shaking too much.

	Also you can specyfy MIDDLE option/tooltype. This will force D2A to use single middle mouse
	button click to open a lister.

	b) Altho D2A _usualy_ detects if you clicked on an icon, that will not work if:
	  a) you clicked on icon's title
	  b) you clicked on a 100% transparent icon area

	  There's no easy fix for this, live with it :) Look at problem a) if you have any problems
	  with aiming.

	c) D2A might get confused if you doubleclick an already active icon, life sucks
