Post subject: Advanced config in Ambient

Hi,

I think there is some people using the nightly builds of Ambient. And there have been some changes in the latest days, why Im posting this here. There is possibility with an advanced config.

- You can for instance choose to hide the My MorphOS icon and/or change name on it to something that You like better.

- You can turn desktop double click on and of.

- You can change the behavoiur of drag'n drop functions.

- There is a commodity filter.

You make this changes in the file Advanced.conf included in the archive.

I also made a MorphUP package, if someone would like to try it out. Link to package

If you test it, please post some feedback, or if it does not work. You need to unpack the package using MorphUP to some location in your system, and when unpacked use the included installer for proper installation.

Read always the changelog before using a nightly build: http://daily.ambient-desktop.org
