New grey glass system folder options icons, multimedia folder option icons, and network option icons.
These take on some of the appearance of the folder backgrounds.
Just copy into the theme you want to use them in. If you do not like, just copy one of the other options folder themes to it, or backup the original theme and copy over the one you had modified.

Virtualization / Re: How to create Virtual Box floppy disk images without any cruft!
« on: August 27, 2024, 07:19:26 pm »
I don't know how many disks you are dealing with.
I have used VFdisk located at
http://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/system/drivers/filesys/VFDISK_6-0.zip
Install it and set up a 2.88 virtual disk with it. Copy all the files from disk 1 and 2 and run install.
I have used this before because I no longer have floppy drives.

Deviated from the original blueglass theme calling this one blueglass2.
In this one, I changed the system setup folder option icons and others to a blue glass.
Also corrected the Prompts folder icons.

General Discussion / Re: How to use a multipartioned usb key ?
« on: August 23, 2024, 05:22:18 pm »
Here is another round-about way to make a JFS partition on an USB drive. With this method, I am using the whole drive for the JFS.
Open DFSee.
Select Scripts in the menu
Select Make Fat32 Data USB disk
Select the drive and make a fat32 data disk.
Follow the prompts.
Eject USB drive and reinsert.
Now I use FM/2
Open FM/2
Right click on the FAT32 USB drive
Select Miscellaneous
Select Format Disk
Select JFS
I do the quick format.
Done.
I bought around 10 packages of 3- 32 GB USB drives at Target last year for around $5.00 for each package. It was an after school clearance. Formatted them With DFsee to FAT32. Thus, it was easy for me to format JFS under FM/2 when I want. I had already made them FAT32 with DFSee. The drives were originally FAT32 when bought. However, for ArcaOS to use the drives, DFSee had to be used to reformat them Fat32. Being already done, it took little time to convert to JFS.
It would be nice for DFSee to have a script to make a JFS data disk.

I found just a plain Jane simple yellow linux folder theme that I liked. The Linux theme is called Martian Wheel icon theme. I used its folder and text icons to create this ArcaOS Bigicon theme.

Applications / Re: Lotus SmartSuite 4 on WinOS/2
« on: August 05, 2024, 07:07:53 pm »No problems encountered except PM groups were not created, did you guys remember to install from a full screen session?I downloaded and installed under full screen windows. It had problems installing the icons, but I kept hitting the OK button and they finally installed. I did not install under a virtual environment, but under a normal ArcaOS 5.1 partition.
Tried both the nordic and Lotus SmartSuite 4.0 (1996-08-02) (ISO) version from Winworld
One thing I have installed is this dos driver. Since Windows 3.1 is primarily a shell over dos, I figured this driver could only help.
The V2GB.SYS virtual device driver
==================================
Overview
--------
The purpose of this driver is to provide a solution to the problem
caused by the inability of many DOS programs to handle a partition in
excess of 2GB in size. This causes spurious reports of insufficient
disk space.

Hi Doug
What version of Arcaos are you using?
Are you installing over ver 3.0.18 or on a partition without any VLC version?
