Software News : MorphOS: A Pachyderm for the Screen Titlebar

There are all kinds of things a user can squeeze into screen titlebars on MorphOS: monitors, clocks, lamps, gauges, flags and even bugs. But something was missing until today: elephants!
binaryriot proudly presents: Elephant.sbar, a visual guide into MorphOS' layer configuration.
Elephant.sbar shows if Enhanced Layers are activated for the current screen or if just just the old traditional legacy layer system is in use. And what could be better for this purpose than a little brother of the (in)famous MorphOS desktop toy and Enhanced Layer demonstration tool "Elephant"?
Enhanced layers/ display is the same as 3D layers (if you check the Elephant.sbar.guide in the archive, it's explained there ). jacaDcaps shuffles the names around for each MorphOS release; I'm confused too, sometimes.
- Add a bubble help when the mouse pointer is over the elephant that says "This screen support enhanced display" or "this screen doesn't support enhanced display".
Its cool that you make more use of the title screenbar. It saves workbench/ambient space. I like that :) I like the way macOS do it too. Would be nice if os4 would have more stuff there too.
