Amiga Launcher minor issues
Issues with font, screenmode and close gadget in the Amiga launcher

There are a few simple features that would improve the Amiga launcher window:

1) Currently the font is hardcoded to helvetica. The system font as chosen by the user from the font preferences should be used to make the window blend in better.

2) When closing the launcher window without starting ADOM, the game still starts. Expected behaviour would be to abort and close, possibly without saving the settings you have changed.

3) When selecting the screenmode on my system, I only see the actual hexadecimal modes in the list. I don't know if this is a bug or if it is a missing feature. At least I don't know the difference between 0x00029000 and 0x00029024 without digging out the manuals. :)
EDIT: This cease to happen if I manually run DEVS:Monitors/PAL. The issue is likely on my side, I run a pretty streamlined setup here.

Otherwise, cool that you still release the Amiga version. :)

Thanks for your suggestions. This launcher code wasn't touched for around 11 years, so it may not be "up to date" any more. ;)

1) the layout is fixed, so changing the font may destroy the layout. But I can see if I can improve this.
2) you are right, that is not what the user expects
3) works fine here, must be an issue on your side
