AMOS Professional : Custom Dialog
A downloadable tool
Digging on the AMOS PD collection I've found a simple program to show requesters with max 2 buttons on screen and I started to play with it until I completely transformed it in something different :)
I've mentioned the original authors in the source code, but I've changed so many things that it's almost unrecognizable from the original!
My version has several improvements and options listed below:
- Code Optimization
- Possibility to show any number of buttons (as long as there is space on the screen)
- Buttons are auto sized to the largest one to have visual consistency
- Colors can be defined (or mapped to an existing palette, see below)
- You can provide an image to use as skin, in the package you will find a sample picture I used for my tests.
- 3 Enter/Exit effects or none at all
- Possibility to switch text shadows on/off
- Possibility to switch 3d effect on/off (only if you do not use a skin)
- Possibility to define several profiles and pop a requester using one of them
- Ability to use HiRes screens (the original use only low-res)
- Possibility to use custom fonts (one is provided in the package), even if it's a proportional font.
- Many more nice things described in the code.
I wrote the code adding many comments to allow new users to understand what's going on in the code, I hope this will help wannabe-retro-coders to find their way with AMOS Pro.
The source has been developed with AMCAF & TURBO Extensions installed. There is also a compiled version! :)
