PatchWBPens  is  a  patch  like  MagicColors  for displaying icons stripped to 3
bitplanes in the correct colors on a Workbench screen with more than 8 colors.

This  Version  fixes  a  small  bug  and  it adds support for CGraphXs 16 and 24
Bit-Modi.


     FIX

     - PatchWBPens  got  the number  of colors wrong on a 16 color Workbench and
       therefore copied the wrong colors.

     NEW
  
     - CGraphX  support.  PatchWBPens  will set the  correct colors if you use a
       CGraphX 16 or 24 bit screen as Workbench.




     FEATURES


     PatchWBPens will set the correct color pens when:

     - the Workbench opens for the first time,

     - the Workbench was temporarily closed,
       (normally done by graphics programs to get more memory)

     - the palette prefs has changed.



     REQUIREMENTS

     - It needs the patch.library V3 from Stefan Fuchs (util/libs/PatchLibV3.lha)
       (included)

     - AmigaOS 3.x.
       (not included ;)




     INSTALLATION

     Just  insert  the following line anywhere before LoadWB.  User-Startup will
     be fine.

                run <>NIL: PatchWBPens



     MISC


     - You  may remove PatchWBPens anytime  by sending a  break signal (CTRL-C).
       Though there is no reason to do that.

     - Is  it possible that setting new  pen colors will not work correctly when
       the palette has changed, i.e.  not all pens are changed to the new colors.
       If  that  is  really the case, PatchWBPens sets the new colors before the
       Workbench (IPrefs) has changed the colors itself.
       You  can  correct  this  by telling PatchWBPens to delay its work by n/50
       seconds.  ( run <>NIL:  PatchWBPens n ) The default value for n is 1.

     - PatchWBPens OpenWorkBench patch will not be called, if you have installed
       PatchControl, which is a replacment for SetMan.  With SetMan it will work
       WITHOUT any problem. I have no idea what is wrong here.

    By  the  way,  would  be  nice to get any response if anyone else than me is
    really using it...  ;-)
