Hi there...

This is just another control panel for MiamiDx.

Primary features of this panel are the extremely comapct and fully
configureable GUI. Everything else is just like every other control panel :)

Installation
============
Copy gelbes.MiamiPanel to miami:libs/

Copy gelbespanel.gui to miami:libs/

Copy the images directory to miami:

That's all.

Now select the new control panel from MiamiDX's "Control panel settings"
and there you go.

Configuration
=============
To change the look of gelbesPanel you have first the "Control panel
settings" of miami itself, second the Settings window of gelbes.MiamiPanel
which can be found from the menu of the panel and third the images which
can be found in miami:images/gelbesPanel/

Developer Information
=====================
gelbes Panel features a small interface for programmers to access its data
from the outside.  Please have a look at the provided apitest.e source
code.

History
=======
v5.28 - 28.01.2003
------------------
- Using the "X" button to quit MiamiDX made Miami freeze. Fixed.

- When interfaces were removed the panels layout became corrupted. Fixed.

v5.21 - 26.01.2003
------------------
- The panel now is able to display incomming and outgoing traffic for each
  interface.

- It's now possible to let the panel display the top-CPS of each interface.

- Increased stacksize making it stable again under MorphOS.

- Added an about window.

- Added the ability to make the window immoveable.  This also includes not
  being able to resize the window.  Have a look at the settings menu.

- Moved all the GUI stuff to an external program, which does
  a) make it dragable and sizeable again on MorphOS
  b) makes development of the GUI a bit less of a click-orgy for me :)

- Added a Real-Time-Clock to the titlebar on request.  It's also possible
  now to switch the clock, the uptime or both on/off in the settings.

- Panel doesn't show negative values any longer if more than 2 gb were
  transfered.

v4.259 - 04.04.2002
-------------------
- Changed communication of library and panel task.

- GB informations were shown wrong. Fixed.

- The panel now uses miami: instead of PROGDIR: for its images.

- Changed Frametype of Total-Uptime to TextFrame, so it is possible to
  change the frame of Uptimetext to your likings without having to change
  the ReadListFrame (which was used before) in MUI-Settings.

- The panel now supports masks for its buttons.  When loading graphics, the
  panel looks for a file with the same filename as the button-gfx with
  .mask suffix.  The .mask file should have the same dimensions as the
  button-gfx. Color 0 of the mask will be transparent.

- Panel is now using an own bitmap for disabled/ghosted look in favor of
  the standard rastered MUI look.  New gfx needed is:  online.ghosted and
  offline.ghosted

v4.239 - 20.02.2002
-------------------
- For some people gelbesPanel was unable to load the images. Fixed.

v4.235 - 13.02.2002
-------------------
- Changed the way the titlebar of the window is displayed. It's no longer
  just a stupid coloured bar, which makes the panel plain ugly with custom
  backgrounds but it now displays 'gelbesPanel' if the window is active.

- Removed "Inactive Colour" from window colour settings because it's not
  needed anymore.  See above.

- Removed the need for a "custom" background image.  Just set the
  windowbackdrop image in the MUI-Settings.

v4.224 - 09.02.2002
-------------------
- Initial release
