Re: Border padding is now supported in vDos-lfn

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Wengier,

Since the misty regions of the 1980s, I have set my LM (left margin) to be
2, to give that padding. The padding you've added to vDos-lfn goes in all
directions, putting a particularly disconcerting padding at the top, and
using up (I assume) space at the right.


An advantage of LM 2 is that it makes it visually clear when one is in
eXPanded mode, because that eliminates any LM.


Regards,
Harry


Hi all,

Per request by Robert J. Sawyer, I have further enhanced the border
padding feature to add the ability to specify a color setting for it in
the latest vDos-lfn build (build 2016.09.02). Now the PADDING directive
(initially named BORDER) accepts an optional second argument which is the
padding color (0-15, default is 0 or black). For example:


PADDING = 50,1

Hope it will be useful.

In original vDos and earlier versions of vDos-lfn, the first character in
each line of the screen starts exactly at the window border, and
apparently there are people who dislike this. So I just added the feature
to set border or edge padding in the text-mode vDos-lfn window in the
latest build of vDos-lfn (i.e. build 2016.09.01). Now you can change the
border padding via the BORDER directive in config.txt, e.g. BORDER=20.
Hope this will be useful.


As always, the download address for the latest ZIP package of the
2015.11.01 branch of vDos-lfn is at the URL:
