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
