Introduction

*What is Lexy?

Lexy is tricky joke software. It substitute control (Button, Menu, Window title, etc.) label to other text.

What to use?

To enjoy atmosphere of Japanese localized BeOS and Applications :-)

Formerly, I created Lexy for Old MacOS. (Kanji Talk 2.0 , a Japanese MacOS based System4)

It shown me amusing atmosphere to non-Japanese localized application at the time.

So ,I think up, I begun to create Lexy for BeOS.

Lexy would be able use to substitute other English label or German label, probably.

Have fun!!

*Technique of Lexy

Lexy for BeOS use BeOS scripting technology ,unlike Lexy for MacOS.

Lexy say to all applications,"Tell me your label" and "Change your label".

Therefore, Lexy is no effect to non-scriptable applications.

Unfortunately, some applications are crashed by Lexy . See "Application incompatibility".
