OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - General > Events

ArcaOS 5.1.1 is out.

<< < (4/6) > >>

Alfredo Fernández Díaz:
Now, Spanish doesn't look as spectacular visually with no funny letters <g> and the stock ArcaOS look, but if you pay a little attention*, you will see quite some effort has been put into this NLV. Not only are (almost!) all new, non-IBM components fully and properly localized, but IBM's old MCP2 core translation is slowly but surely being revamped too. This is not finished yet, but I can tell you the user experience is already better than it ever was, and you can expect it to remain so in upcoming releases. Seeing a freshly installed system show an improved translation compared to previous versions is always a plus to me, but I'd like to see what other Spanish speakers have to say!

*You might even find a couple of Easter eggs ;-)

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Alfredo

Both pictures look great. I had include those on the wiki: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=ArcaOS_5.1.1_Screenshots

Alfredo, which are the name of the two widgets that you have at the bottom? the one on the left with the icons and the one on the right with the hour?

Regards

For my own standard setup I move the one XCenter I keep to the upper part of the screen, so at the bottom I don't have any widgets, but standalone floating windows. On the left, lSwitcher (standalone version); on the right, SysBar/2, still good unmodified after 21 years of service. This screenshot should illustrate my main configuration lines for both.

HorndFrog:
How did you change the colors on the clock portion of Xcenter?

Alfredo Fernández Díaz:
Actually I do it programmatically for every installed system, deleting the XCenter and creating a new one with the following setup string:

POSITION=TOP;BORDERSPACING=0;REDUCEDESKTOP=YES;WIDGETS=XButton(),TasksWidget(),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<XWP_LOCKUPSTR>%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<XWP_FINDSTR>%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<XWP_SHUTDOWNSTR>%3B),Pulse(WIDTH%3D154%3B),Tray(BGNDCOL%3DCCCCCC%3BWIDTH%3D134%3BCURRENTTRAY%3D0%3B){Tray  1[ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<WP_DRIVES>%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<WP_CONFIG>%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<WP_PROMPTS>%3B)]},WindowList(BGNDCOL%3DCCCCCC%3BTEXTCOL%3D000000%3BFILTERS%3DSysBar/2 Pipe Monitor#~^°@lSwitcher#~^°@FTP server%3B),Power(BGNDCOL%3DCCCCCC%3BTEXTCOL%3D000000%3BWARN%3D15%3BREPEAT%3D5%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<WP_ASSISTANCE>%3B),ObjButton(OBJECTHANDLE%3D<C:\Sys\bin\calendar.exe>%3B),XWLANMonitorWidget(),Time(BGNDCOL%3D000000%3BTEXTCOL%3D00FF00%3B),AN_RemMedia();OPEN=26599;OBJECTID=<XWP_XCENTER>;

but you can also do it by hand, dragging colors from the Solid Color Palette (folder Appearance under System Setup) to drop them onto the Time widget. Ctl+drag to change the foreground, simple drag for the background.
