A Control Panel is joined, which lets you change its preferences, and a Control Strip Module and a Contextual Menu extension are bundled. You can change all your resolutions with just one mouse click on the Finder desktop, or just by pressing one key. It also allows you to: ---------------------- * use *all* available resolutions of your video cards, not only those the MacOS choose for you * automatically switch resolution and color depth of all monitors when launching an application, and restore your settings when quitting * position the desktop icons where you want, at every resolution change and at startup * configure the menus by choosing which resolutions and what bitdepths will be displayed (Control Strip Module menu, Contextual Menu) and a lot of other features... SwitchRes requires MacOS 8, and a multisync monitor may be useful... Of course, SwitchRes works fine under MacOS 8.5 It is distributed as a $9 shareware, but you can try the application for 7 days. What is new in version 1.5.2: ----------------------------- Version 1.5.2 corrects some bugs, especially the one that prevented the last used resolution to be applied again after a restart. It should also be more stable at startup, and shouldn't crash any more when using an unknown display or video card. The main new feature is its ability to change the monitor where the menu bar is shown (in a multiple monitor environment) from within the control strip, the menu bar or the contextual menu. SwitchRes now displays the correct texts in the Japanese version, uses 32 bits icons under MacOS 8.5 and shows a proxy icon in the window title bar.

Specifically, Wadtool is a must-have program for users of all abilities who design level maps for idsoftware's popular game Quake. Until now, there has been no complete Mac solution for editing Quake textures (the graphic images which make up the walls and objects in level maps). Wadtool fills a long-awaited niche, in providing superior control over all aspects of texture editing. Wadtool unleashes the graphic artist that lurks within the modeler, providing unprecedented control over the graphics in all single-player and multi-player Quake maps the user designs! The product name derives from its flagship ability to modify WAD files, the standard format for graphics collections from which most Quake editing tools (such as Quiver, a map editing utility by Scott Kevill) obtain their textures. For Wadtool, though, handling WADs is just the tip of the iceberg. Wadtool is designed for use in conjunction with other image-editing programs to allow users to integrate their artistic creations into new and existing Quake maps. Wadtool's user interface has been designed for easy, intuitive use while simultaneously providing an array of advanced tools. Here is a partial sampling of the nifty things the user can do with Wadtool: - edit any number of files at a time (limited only by available memory) - extract the textures from a BSP (map) and convert them into a new WAD - edit the textures in a BSP without having to recompile the map - extract all textures from a PAK (total conversion) by simply opening it - resize any texture, with automatic image re-scaling - adjust the colour balance of a texture using RGB sliders - preview moving textures (liquids, as well as multi-frame animations) - remove unwanted "fullbright" colours with a simple menu command - create sky transparencies with a simple menu command - use the complete Edit menu suite, including cut, copy, paste and undo - copy textures between files and share them with other programs - globally adjust the view brightness to your liking [Archived as /info-mac/game/wadtool-100.hqx; 344K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1998 08:53:29 -0700 From: ilona@ilicon.com Subject: [*] Xmas'98_icons Here are 23 icons for Christmas.
