[1mWHAT'S NEW SINCE V1.0 ?[0m
Version 1.0 worked well with kickstart 1.2 and was usable with
2.x, but it failed miserably when run under kickstart 1.3. The reason
was that the program thought it was running under 2.x. This version
works perfectly with any of the kickstart versions mentioned above.
[1mWHAT IS MOUSE-XY ?[0m
Mouse-xy is a small utility that opens a small window in
which it shows the mouse coordinates and the color at that position.
If the left mousebutton is being held down, the coordinates is
relative to the spot where the mouse was, when the button got pressed.
It will disable the color-function if you move the mouse-pointer out
of the screen on which the window is open.
Double-clicking the right mousebutton while the window is active
will make it try to jump to another screen. If nothing happens, then
it is because there is either no other screen at all or no other screen
big enough to open on.
The coordinates can still be monitored while you are moving/re-sizing
a window or moving workbench-icons !!. Normally this is impossible because
intuition freezes all layers on the screen by calling 'LockLayers'. But I
accomplished it by disabling any call that the graphics functions make to
'LockLayerRom' and 'UnlockLayerRom' with this windows layer.
