NatFrame v1.0b
a Nature production


Description:
This is a winframe replacement for Magic 6.x. It uses textures for the 
different parts of the windows, so it's finally possible to get rid of 
those dull grey windows. NatFrame now supports textures in 16 and 256 
colours as well as 15, 16, 24 and 32bit resolutions, and requires NVDI 
5. NatFrame gives you monochrome windows in less than 16 colour
resolutions.


New things since v0.91b:

* A new texture draw type is available: "Rescale to fit", which 
  rescales the texture so it covers the window element exactly once. 
  This might be useful for window title bars using a texture with a 
  colour fade.

* The characters on the window buttons invert their colour when the 
  button is selected, since it earlier didn't show if the button was 
  selected or not.

Installation instructions:

1) Rename WINFRAME.SLB and WINFRAME.RSC in the XTENSION-folder 
   (probably under c:\gemsys\magic\xtension) to WINFRAME.SLX and 
   WINFRAME.RSX respectively.

2) Unpack everything to the XTENSION-folder. The contents should be 
   directly in the XTENSION-folder, and not in some NATFRAME-folder. 
   So make sure the extractor doesn't create such a folder for you.

3) Edit WINFRAME.INF, which is in the XTENSION-folder.
   There's a path after "PATH=", which should point to the DAT-file
   to be used by NatFrame (for example in \THEMES\STONE1\). Example:
   PATH=c:\gemsys\magic\xtension\themes\stone1\stone1.dat

4) If you intend to use NatFrame under 16 or 256 colours, run 
   SAVE_PAL.PRG from the XTENSION folder, so that the current palette 
   will be used by NatFrame for rastering the textures before use. 
   Otherwise the textures might be rastered using an incorrect 
   palette, giving you messed up textures. You will have to run the 
   program once under 16 and 256 colours respectively. SAVE_PAL.PRG
   saves the current palette where the currently used theme is, which
   means that you have to run SAVE_PAL.PRG again if you change themes.
   
5) Switch to a 16 or 256 colour mode or a 15, 16, 24 or 32 bit mode.
