No code changes to Wimp, not tagged.

The Wimp can now accept toolsprite sets which have precalculated (non default) colour translation tables supplied by the designer.
This allows the link between window template colour and displayed tool colour to be reestablished when the tools aren't grey (previously, the Ursula Wimp would only tint greys).
For full design details see Doc/ToolTables.
An example test set, TestO/TTTTest is provided. This is the 'Newlook' set but with a splotch in the corner of each sprite which is then replaced by the hex of the Wimp colour being requested.
Detail:
 Wimp01.s: New workspace requirements
 Wimp04.s: Pull out the RGB to greyscale function so it can be used elsewhere
 Wimp10.s: New tool table support code

Fixes ticket #323.
Also introduces a disc variant (with the extra EX0 EY0 resolution) of the 'Steel' theme, thus making it generally available.

Version 5.30. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_30'

Derived from the 'Steel' theme these are 90x90dpi toolsprites for the Raspberry UserIF. Their use of continuous tones has highlighted some deficiencies in the Wimp's translation table generation which are yet to be addressed, at which point the other resolutions and disc based copy will be more generally available.
For now, ROM only keeps the distribution more controllable.

Was erroneously 90x90dpi. Retagged as Wimp-5_18.

* Re tinted 'floppydisc'

* Re tinted 'floppydisc'
* New 'floppyscsi' and 'floppysd' for USB and SD card media
* Removed !Scrap, the only boot resources that are seen by humans are !Boot !Fonts and !System, the others can rely on their private copies
* Removed 3rd party applications, avoids bias towards particular vendor while not polluting the pool with stuff that isn't actually part of the OS (specifically !aemulor !arcfax !sparkfs !sprinter)

Stopgap only pending final artworks, this will merely check the machinery for rogue spanners.

Also enable the mask on said cog in Sprites11.

In Sprites, the taskmanager was too high up.
In Sprites11, the taskmanager has some scaling artefacts.
Retagged as Wimp-5_18.

* ROM sprite sets for Ursula and Morris4 brought in sync with Iyonix and Sovereign, including creating new sprites where missing
* Disc sprite sets created for Ursula, Morris4, and Sovereign. These may not be coherent yet, but are the superset
* Shelved the crusty 2D templates and tools
No code changes, nor resource changes to active ROM builds, retagged as Wimp-5_17.

Messages updated to be more specific/helpful.
Magic numbers for OS_File swapped to use names from Hdr:HighFSI.

Version 5.15. Not tagged

Derived from the Iyonix ones, but with a cog instead of a jellybean.
Other variants unchanged, tag Wimp-5_13 applied.

Detail:
  These utilise SpriteExtend 1.42 to set the pointer active point from the
  sprite mask.

Version 5.12. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_12'

Version 5.06. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_06'

  Allow the outline to be plotted over the window tools.
Detail:
  The options available through WimpVisualFlags have been extended with two
  new options that control how the window outline is plotted.

  WimpVisualFlags -WindowOutlineColour <&RRGGBB> -WindowOutlineOver

  WindowOutlineColour defines the colour to be used for the window outline.
  It allows theme designers to choose a window outline colour that fits
  in with a theme's general colour scheme. Default value is black.

  WindowOutlineOver controls if the window outline is plotted over the
  toolicons. It can be used to ensure that there is a window outline
  visible even when the toolicons are borderless. Default value is off.

Version 5.04. Tagged as 'Wimp-5_04'

Fixed an errant top-bit-set pointer problem with submenu pointers.
Removed startup sprites from Wimp sprite pool - now live in Desktop module.

Version 4.90. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_90'

Resource tweaks: changed floppydisc label; corrected *WimpVisualFlags help to use present tense like all other help strings do.

Retagged as 'Wimp-4_85'

Detail:
  * Bugfix: the contents of the pollword returned in the poll block by
    a PollWordNonZero event, where the pollword was flagged as high
    priority, was rotated by 8 bits due to a internal top-bit-set
    workaround. This no longer happens. (This was causing OmniClient never
    to complete initialisation on my machine.)
  * Extended the alternate resolution icon scheme for RAM/ROM sprites and
    toolsprites to be multi-pass, enabling the use of extra sprite sets for
    weird modes (most notably EX0 EY0 ones). After '23' or '0' suffixes
    (the latter still only applies to toolsprites), the suffix for the
    equivalent polychromatic resolution is tried. After rectangular
    suffixes, the next larger squarer suffix is tried. After '11', '22' is
    tried. Failing all of these, a match is attempted with no suffix.
  * The command window is now scaled and centred to match the current screen
    mode - up to a maximum size of 1280 x 1024 OS units.
  * Fixed the *WimpVisualFlags help strings (again).
  * Fixed 'task2' debugging to know about the structure of the SVC stack on
    32-bit machines.
  * Added support for generation of GPA files.

  Tested on Tungsten.

Version 4.84. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_84'

A few bugfixes, and some muching around with WimpVisualFlags that I did ages ago but hasn't made it into a build yet.

Detail:
  * Deleting icon 0 in a window that had no windows would rotate the
    contents of word &00000010 by 16 bits. This had the effect of causing
    lazy task swapping to blow up with an "undefined instruction" error.
  * Setting the caret to a byte position beyond the end of an icon's text
    would (a) loop indefinitely if the alphabet is UTF-8, or (b) data abort
    for any other alphabet. This was due to the code trying to determine the
    number of characters in the string, and ignoring the terminator;
    skipcharR would never advance far enough to satisfy the loop in UTF-8,
    in other alphabets it would advance as far as necessary, leading to the
    later code to try to step a huge number of characters through the
    pushfontstring copy of the text, running off the top of the SVC stack
    (which is mapped out on Tungsten, previously it abutted the system heap,
    so no ill effects were observed).
  * Keyboard shortcuts are now correctly positoned when 3D menus are selected.
  * Corrected spelling of "dialogue" in *WimpVisualFlags help.
  * Changed *WimpVisualFlags so that no parameters gives RISC OS 3
    behaviour, and -All gives default RISC OS 4 behaviour. (Previously, font
    blending was enabled in both cases, unless explicitly disabled by an
    additional -NoFontBlending switch.) This required a sense change in the
    font blending switch: -FontBlending now enables font blending.
    -NoFontBlending is still accepted without error, but is ineffectual
    (since the no-options state upon which it acts already has font blending
    disabled).
  * Default setting is now as though *WimpVisualFlags -RemoveIconBoxes had
    been executed. (In practice, this will not be noticeably different from
    previous Tematic versions, see below.)
  * The state -RemoveIconBoxes switch was previously assumed always set -
    now, if it is not specified, you get the old RISC OS 3 behaviour back.
Admin:
  Tested on Tungsten.

Version 4.82. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_82'

Detail:
  * Removed Acorn/ACORN from keyboard shortcuts.
  * Added Red/RED/Green/GREEN/Blue/BLUE (and an attempt at German
    versions too) to keyboard shortcuts.
  * Capitalised the 'B' in -Fully3DIconBar to hint that it's necessary in
    the short form of the switch to *WimpVisualFlags.
Admin:
  Not tested.

Version 4.81. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_81'

Fix to Wimp_DeleteIcon stiffing the machine when trying to delete an icon which doesn't yet exist.Now fails gracefully.

Import of another set of awful icons in the Iyonix resources.
Tweak to the number of CLI parameters accepted by * commands.

Version 4.80. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_80'

Detail:
  RISC OS 4 changes:
  * Font blending for desktop font (based on NC code, but now configurable)
  * 3-D window/menu/iconbar borders
  * Textured menu backgrounds
  * Loss of rubout box in unfilled text+sprite icons
  * *WimpVisualFlags controls various aspects of cosmetic changes above
  * Iconise button "slot" glyph slightly shorter (but only adopted in the RO400
    Resource directory)
  * Command window has front-window flag set
  * Byte at +39 of the window block has gained two new flag bits:
      bit 2 set => this window must never be given a 3D border
      bit 3 set => this window must always be given a 3D border
      (note that ResEd erroneously created windows with both bits set,
      this case is treated as though both bits were clear)
  * Another two colour specifiers on the end of C validation string command
    for icons controls the foreground and background colours to be used when
    the icon is selected
  * Pointer shape is correctly reprogrammed by the creation of icon
    underneath it
  * Full stops in writable icons are treated the same as spaces from the
    point of view of cursor navigation
  * spritesize routine returns a size of 0 if the sprite didn't exist
    (probably fixes some rendering problems)
  * Adjust-click on back icon brings window to front
  My changes:
  * DeleteRight turned on
  * Icon bar title background is set to default in all resource sets (avoids
    translation table recalc)
  * Error box title now cream across all resource sets
  * RISC OS 4 changes made 32-bit compatible / high addresses safe
  * Undocumented FullIconClipping option disabled
  * Command help made consistent for internationalised and non-
    internationalised builds
  * WimpVisualFlags defaults made sensible
  * Menu side width affected by ThreeD option at *run* time not assemble time
  * Right-clicking on menus with writable items no longer data aborts
  * Auto-opened menus are now at RHS of current icon (matches RISC OS 3.1)
  * Colour menus were knackered unless menu tiling was enabled
  * Fixed a bug whereby adding messages to a task that wanted all messages
    actually caused it to lose all other messages. The RISC OS 4 fix for
    this didn't work
  * Fixed bug introduced in version 4.76: tasks that wanted no messages got
    all of them
  * Autoscrolling is updated every 8 cs rather than every 12 cs
  * Added menu texture to pre-RISC OS 4 sprites files

Version 4.78. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_78'

Detail:
  All pointers passed to the Wimp (mode selectors, menus, sprite areas,
  palettes, pollwords, validation strings, message lists, routines etc etc)
  in any of its APIs can now be anywhere within the 32-bit address range.
  In general, whenever "<= 0" was accepted as a null condition, the value
  must now be either 0 or -1. It should also be tolerant of system memory
  areas (supervisor stack and RMA) being in the top half of memory.
  Also:
  * Default next slot now a build option - Ursula builds (eg Tungsten) use
    1024K instead of 640K
  * Ursula builds no longer have a build variant in the help string
  * Autosenses ROM location
  * CR-LFs in *Configure messages replaced with LF-CRs
  * Added Iyonix resources (currently based on Morris4)
  * Morris4 sprites files have gained file_lxa, small_lxa, file_unf,
    small_unf and lo!help sprites
  * Ursula sprites files have gained lo!help sprites
  * *WimpSlot can take memory sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
Admin:
  Tested on a "traditional" memory-mapped Tungsten.

Version 4.76. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_76'

Detail:
  Resources.Korea.Messages has translations for Cancel, Continue, OK,
    and Error.
  Resources.Taiwan.Messages has translations for Cancel, Continue, OK,
    and Error.
Admin:
  No testing


Version 4.74. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_74'

Detail:
  The titlebar and input focus colours for the window template for
  error boxes is now cream (12). This is more intuitive. Builds which
  do not have a title bar will not look any different.
Admin:
  Included the little utility which did the modification in Test/ResMod
  (as in Resources Modifier - but who cares). May be of use in future.

Version 4.70. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_70'

Detail:
  * Added new functionality for menu trees: submenus can now be opened by
    clicking on their parent menu item. This is particularly aimed at
    touchscreen devices, and is configurable via the new *Configure keyword
    WimpClickSubmenu.
  * Change to the menu inactivity timeout behaviour after auto-opening of
    submenus (either by hovering over the parent menu item or by the new
    click-to-open functionality): although all hover operations are still
    ignored for this period, any click operations *will* now be obeyed.
  * Corrected numerous misleading comments in the menu handling code.
  * Added some suspiciously absent ALIGNs in the *Configure keyword handlers.
  * Uses new ASCII case-forcing macros so there are now fewer warnings
    printed during assembly (and it should run faster now too).
  * Added an AREA directive so that objasm's -ABS switch is no longer needed.
  * Standardised ErrMem token across all Messages files that use English.
Admin:
  Tested on a desktop machine.
  Requires HdrSrc 1.06.

Version 4.57. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_57'

Detail:

  * Files changed include the Messages, Template and Sprite files, all of
    which now contain appropriate translated versions.

    This is a TRUNK version of the changes applied to the Bethany branch.

Admin:

  * Sprite files contain an equivalent set of sprites to those in the UK
    variant; these have been rationalised recently so as to remove duplicates
    contained in other software components.

  * New file structure preserved; this is NOT a direct copy from the Bethany
    branch version of the Wimp.

Version 4.54. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_54'

Detail:
  Title bar is not visible on the NC but it is still written to and must
  be indirected with 60 byte string.
  This fault was introduced in Wimp 4.48.

Admin:
  Should fix customer fault 075. Untested.

Version 4.49. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_49'

Detail:
  Removed palette from ptr_default and ptr_double srpites in
   NC2.UK resources.

Admin:
  Requires a boot structure that sets up the pointer colours
   as you want them.

Version 4.48. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_48'

Byrne.

Version 4.47. Not tagged

Detail:
  Lots of little changes throughout a lot of source.
Admin:
  Appears to work - not stress tested with things like lots of tasks, big
  transfers, and all the other things that tend to go wrong.

Version 4.47. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_47'

Detail:
  !WinEdit appears to have corrupted the Templates file when it was
  editted to change the Japanese translations.

  Hopefully rectified this by reapplying the translation changes using
  !FormEd.  Also changed the translation for the middle button in the
  error box back so that it reads "Cancel" (in Japanese of course).


Version 4.46. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_46'

Detail:
  Added Japanese translations received from customer into Messages
  and Templates files


Version 4.45. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_45'

Detail:
  * New STB Sprites, Templates and Tools files imported, based upon the
    Lazarus UI rather than the old STB UI.
  * STB build now includes WIMPSymbol.
  * No longer attempts to use WIMPSymbol font in UTF8 builds which didn't
    register the font in ResourceFS.
  * Simplified Resources directories by assigning only a single pair of
    Messages files to each locale, rather than for each UI directory within
    each locale directory. The only code change required is to make the Wimp
    error box always use the "Continue" token for NC/STB builds, rather than
    using one of "OK" and "Continue", as with desktop builds.
Admin:
  Not tested.

Version 4.42. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_42'

Detail:
  * New STB Sprites, Templates and Tools files imported, based upon the

Version 4.42. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_42'

Detail:
  Removed Fresco sprites from sprite files.
Admin:
  Has yet to be tested in a ROM.


Version 4.41. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_41'

Detail:
  Removed onscreen keyboard sprites from a number of builds, these
  sprites are now held in NCKeyboard's resources.


Version 4.38. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_38'

Detail:
  Title bars: one of the Ursula redraw optimisations was that if the title
  bar sprites had no mask, then the title bar is no longer filled in before the
  sprites are plotted. Lazarus' toolsprites were falling foul of this, because
  the title bar top and bottom sprites (tbarmidt/tbarmidb) had a lesser height
  than the end sprites (tbarlcap/tbarrcap). Because pre-Ursula Wimps filled
  in the title bar regardless, this may not have shown up in the past. The Wimp
  now has an additional check: if there is a gap between the title bar sprites,
  then it always fills in the title bar background before plotting the sprites.

  Error box buttons: the "illuminated" side of the 3D plinths have always been
  white, so they were getting lost against the white Lazarus UI background.
  Used Ursula Wimp icon colour validation string extension to colour the
  borders a uniform grey.

Admin:
  Tested on a desktop machine, soft-loading the ...

Detail:
  * Added missing Resources/UK/Ursula/CmdHelp file.
  * Added missing Resources/UK/Ursula/Messages file.
Admin:
  * Tested on build 'Ursula'.

Version 4.34. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_34'

Detail:

  Changes made to Lazarus resources only in progressing towards the
  final UI for the IAC.  Affected files are:

    * Sprites: reduced-palette sprites used where possible to minimize
      memory usage.

    * Templates: the foreground colour of icon #0 in the error dialogue
      box has been altered to be colour 0 (black) in line with the
      other template changes made in previous versions.  (This icon
      was accidentally missed.)

Admin:

  Minor changes, but untested.

Version 4.31. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_31'
