Accomplice is a Control Panel that allows you to perform several
functions quickly and easily no matter what application you are in
(even in a modal dialog). By holding down certain modifier keys and
clicking anywhere, you access a pop-up menu that allows you to: 1)
change the current process, 2) change the screen depth (the number of
colors shown on-screen), 3) change the speaker volume, or 4) insert an
unusual character into whatever document you're working in at the
current insertion point. The section below entitled Using Accomplice
describes these functions in more detail.
New in version 1.2b2 is the "Sticky Menus" feature. I had trouble
manipulating the menus with the trackball while holding down the mouse
button on my PowerBook, so when Sticky Menus is on in the control
panel, the menus will stay up until you click on a valid menu item or
outside of the menus. If you hold the mouse button down as usual, the
menus will act as if the Sticky Menus feature is off.
Also new in this version: the processes menu shows background only
processes as disabed items.
Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
Version 1.0b1 had a few problems with older Macs that had the 68000
processor and Macs which had a black and white only screen. Those
problems have been corrected. Some users also reported conflicts
between Accomplice and some other INITs. I believe these problems have
been solved in version 1.2b2.
