    Is somebody using this great piece of Software on his Pegasos, and are you starting it from WBStartUp, or Userstartup? :-?

    I remember this .. I tried it with my Amiga. It had some problem I can't remember now... maybe it made a block with logo in the middle of Workbench making it look ugly. A nice tool anyhow.

    iirc, you can configure it (with tooltypes) to open on any position on screen, there are some example bumpmaps in various sizes, and of course, you can create your own ones. You can also have it display current time

    It was still made quite system friendly, iirc, it opens borderless backdrop window, it uses underlying area as background image for that window (So, if it's started before loading backdrop image, it will be gray)

    Also, if you had that window selected, you couldn't use workbench menus

    Well, just tried it, and it seems to be working nicely

    Yo! Had it on my Amiga and it worked great!
    Tested it on my Peggie some time ago and
    it even worked greater.
    But for bad luck the Digital Clock doesn't
    seem to work, so it's quiet useless isn't it?

    How did you start it? From WBStartup drawer? I am asking because when i start it from WBStartup i got only a gray block in the lower right corner, but when i start it with doubelclick no problem at all!

    Well, it needs lots of arguments, like bumpmap image, position etc.

    That's why it has Projects/ drawer, where are project icons, double click on one, and you get WBBump with those settings (different bumpmap etc.)

    Oh iirc, they refer to WBBump: -assign, iirc, and you can move one of those to WBstartup, but after WBBump: is assigned...

    Hi!
    Sorry for the late reply, i haven't seen the topic
    for long time...
    I think I didn't start it from WBStartup, as it is
    still almost empty...
    But maybe you can put a script in it with needed path and assign to the WBBump-main-dir....
    Bye

    I use WBBump from WBStartup on 68k system and it works just fine as a clock in one corner, but I have two tooltypes to make it start after the background picture is loaded to prevent the "gray effect". STARTPRI=-128 to get it loaded as last program in WBStartup and STARTDELAY=1 to wait the loading of the bg picture on wb.

    HiHo!
    I tried it once again yesterday!
    Now even DigitalClock works (both - click and WBStartup)....
    Don't know why it didn't run before...
    Great to have this BIIIG" Clock back on desktop...
    Bye
