    Hi,

    Well, the thing is some people doesn't seem to know about functions, or dont know how to use them. Guess its really needed more documentation about features and functionalities.

    I posted this at pegasos.org. Maybe some functions are very funny :-) Some feature below are new, some not.

    Advanced.conf in Ambient have become more advanced :-)

    There is now 16 different functions that You can set too Your own taste. Here's a list of the functions.

    # mymorphosicon = off

    Controls the display of the My MorphOS icon on the desktop. Default is on.

    # mymorphosname = "My MorphOS"

    Overrides the localized default name for "My MorphOS".

    # desktopdoubleclick = on

    Double click on Desktop background opens a Listview. default is off

    # hci_conformity = true

    Changes the behaviour of file drag'n operations. Normally drag'n'drop will always copy the file and ALT+drag'n'drop will always move the file unrelated if the target is same volume or not. (default: false)

    # commodityfilter = "~(Newstring.mcc)"

    Allows to filter which Commodities are shown in Exchange. This is useful to hide programs which announce themself as Commodity, but aren't real Commodities.

    # trapmultiview = true
    # trapmore = true

    Allows you to trap certain default tools and use ambients internal views instead. (default: false)

    # powerstatus = off

    Changes if computer power status is showed in System Monitor (default: on)

    # iconfade = on

    Eyecandy that makes new icons to slowly fade in on the desktop. (default: off)

    # iconhover = on

    Highlight icons when moving the mouse over them (default: off)

    # popuprename = false

    Use a popup window for rename options instead an inline string gadget (default: true)

    # ghostdeficons = false

    Icons of files without own .info file shows ghosted (default: true)

    # arrowforshortcuts = off

    Shortcut icons on desktop have a small arrow so they can be better differentiated from appicons, etc. (default: on

    # sfx_boot = "Media:mp3/music.mp3"
    # sfx_panelzip = "sys:Prefs/Presets/Sfx/wush.aiff"
    # sfx_panelunzip = "sys:Prefs/Presets/Sfx/wushreverse.8svx"

    Plays a sample on the named event. sfx_boot for instance plays the sample each time You start Ambient.
