sandman Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Okay, well let's get back on track here. I have some suggestions: When you press Start, instead of the window appearing in the middle of the screen, why not have it appear above the start button like in Windows? Also, the desktop buttons are really wide and obtrusive; you should look into using transparent PNGs and checking with GUIGetMsg() from there. Maybe even use ashley's icons?

I have 26 posts and that doesn't mean anything. You registered 20-June 07.. Ive been here for just under a year, you shouldn't be the one talking.Raped? ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ok, there will be another update tommorow. The next feature is if no background is selected, it will randomly select from two backgrounds(Not many, it increased the exe size too much) And any more suggestions for MicroOS?

I will try to remedy that Edited November 11, 2007 by sandman [center]"Yes, [our app] runs on Windows as well as Linux, but if you had a Picasso painting, would you put it in the bathroom?" -BitchX.com (IRC client)"I would change the world, but they won't give me the source code." -Unknownsite . blog . portfolio . claimidcode.is.poetry();[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Oh, cool! Thanks, I'll look into it. Edit: I was experimenting with the start menu appearing over the start menu button, but that would depend on everyones resolution, but I'll try to figure it out. And I'll look into transparent icons. Thanks. Edited November 11, 2007 by JustinReno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generator Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Oh, cool!

Thanks.There's always a work around..use ControlGetPos() then create the menuEdit: Url to Ashley's Shell?

JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) That would have been way easier than what I was doing, I got it correct. I used number() to subtract the start menu height from the desktop height, then subtracted the start button height, but controlgetpos() works good too. Edit: I completely forgot how to make the buttons transparent, any help? I just looked through the help file and I'm still looking. Edit Again: I searched and couldn't find an easy way to implement the transparent buttons. I know Ashley's shell has some, but I'm not sure how. Edit Again Again: YES, I have a saved version of Ashley's source with the transparent icons, now let me see... Edit Again Again Again: It didn't work.. hmmm Edited November 11, 2007 by JustinReno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELyon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ok, finally got Wine installed and working so i took a look. Overall, not bad, except i couldn't test the web browser, and the background looked severely messed up (random lines and pixels were inverted) Still, Good Job.

NELyon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 No i do not. I have not set up wine to use a windows-like directory structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Then none of the icons, background images, and the help file will show. Edited November 11, 2007 by JustinReno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELyon Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 All of the icons and the background image show. i just said the background image is distorted a little bit. And the helpfile uses the shell.explorer.2 Object, and linux doesn't natively support those objects. that's why that wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Oh, ok, the picture resizing for the control isn't the best, but isn't a very big priority to the project. Anyone know how to make transparent icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I meant using Ashley's icons, not the shell.
