+-------------------------------+ | THREE NEW "SHORT" MENU LABELS | +-------------------------------+ by Joseph K. Horn --> S/SX/G/GX If you ever use the CST key, or the TMENU command in programs, then you will enjoy these new menu designs. Do you love black-on-white softkeys, but hate the way that they are hard to read because of that unnecessary bottom line? Annoyed that they're 8 high instead of the usual 7? The LBL1 program below solves this earth-shattering problem. It's just like #3A44E SYSEVAL (MakeInvLabel), except the result is moved down one dot row, so that the annoying bottom border line is gone, the text is at the very bottom of the screen, and the label is the normal 7-high instead of 8. LBL1 takes any object and converts it to a 21x8 "short" inverse-video menu label grob. While I was at it, I included two other border designs. LBL2 has a rounded top. LBL3 has a dotted ("ghosted") border. INSTRUCTIONS: Optionally place something on the stack, like a string. Then run DOALL. If you like one of the resulting menu labels, press that key, and that menu label grob will be put on the stack. When done looking at the menu labels, press EXIT (or VAR) to return to the directory menu. The directory below contains the following four programs: LBL1 - converts any object to short inverse-video label grob LBL2 - same but with rounded-top LBL3 - same as LBL1 but with dotted ("ghosted") border DOALL - runs & shows all three (blank if no input) Softkeys recall corresponding menu label grob EXIT returns to VAR menu If you've never programmed custom menus before, look at the DOALL program and see how the EXIT key was implemented. It's really simple. -jkh-
