Applications / Re: XWP 1.0.17: any availability date ?

« on: November 08, 2024, 02:11:37 pm »

Hello

I'm lost on the "RMB 'Copy/Paste/Cut' (Dariusz)", can someone explain it to me?
Is it something that with the "right mouse click" shows a menu with  'Copy/Paste/Cut' ? Was it available and it is not available anymore? or was some special software?

Regards

Hello Rich

I understand that we can not bend your will to change your mind. You are not getting paid for your work on XWorkplace and I appreciate the effort you made to include the "text size" functionality and keep bug fixing it.

I just want to reply this:

.. If you want to pursue this, why not talk to Styler's maintainer?

The user right now has two icons for Keyboard configuration on ArcaOS. (picture attached). For something very punctual as the "Warp Key" (not the Windows Key  ) configuratioin, I personally think it can be better to integrate that XWorkplace Keyboard WPS object instead of putting it on Styler as a extra icon,  Styler is very good but it is more related to Window/Buttons Styles.

Programming / Re: VisualAge C++ 3.6.5 (+ Fix2) - WarpIn or RPM?

Hello

Returning to the subject of a "VisualAge C++ 3.6.5 (+ Fix2)  WarpIn Installer". I think I have it in someway working, sadly I'm not a developer to completely test it out.  I preferred a Dave Yeo suggestion of having a WarpIn installer that does not modify the config.sys and only give you the "Command line" icon (REXX script) with the icc working.

Now I have a little thing here with the icons. I use "Dynamic Icons" so, the .ICO files I'm assigning are not showing. Is there any way to also assign a PNG icon with the WarpIn Installer script?
I refer to this:

CREATEOBJECT="REPLACE WPProgram|Message Queue Analysis Tool|<WP_IBMC>|EXENAME=cmd.exe;ICONFILE=$(1)\bin\MQWA.ICO;PARAMETERS=/k $(1)\bin\setenv.cmd MQWA.EXE;STARTUPDIR=$(1)\WORKING;OBJECTID=<IBMCMessage>;""

;ICONFILE=$ only assigns the .ICO file, is there a way to asing the PNG file?


Regards

Hello David.

I had been working on a little installer for an old IBM C compiler and I want to ask you if you can please reimagine/redo/improve these icons, in a bigger PNG format.

Thanks in advance.

Hello SoundChaser

I think you are in the right track.

Arca Noae published this page and I think it will be good to read it first and find anything that may be missing to complement it.

Hi again

Checking the old (1996) NPS WPS Enhancer, I found this two little things interesting.

1)  "Screen Drawing" allows you to draw over the desktop with the key combinations, that may be interesting when you are showing your screen to someone else, or taking screenshots.

2) "Windows Shadows on Desktop" is kind of a nice touch.

I picked up both at the local thrift store for a couple of bucks each.
The keyboard says it is an Eagletec mechanical keyboard, P/N ET-KG010 and the website it points at is for sale. Basic gaming keyboard that feels nice.
The mouse says it is a CyberPowerPC, usual 5 buttons supported by AMouse with the defaults, button 4 toggles scroll direction and button 5 pushes window to the background, both are on the side.
This mouse, after cold boot is really slow, there are 2 buttons behind the wheel that changes the DPI speed, press the one close to the wheel multiple times and the speed is fine. There's another button that when held slows it right down. These may be map-able with the right driver, guess that is why it also claims to be a keyboard. It's a nice feeling mouse.

Hi Dave

Let me know I added correctly the HardwareID on the device, or I'm confused there?

Which one is the mouse? This one? https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/store/item/mo-131-302

Thanks Dave

I thought that some time back I posted my current computer, apparently not.
Lenovo ThinkCentre M910s, a good choice for running ArcaOS as it is barely too old to run Win 11 so available cheap. It's a small form factor. Everything works except windowed DOS/WinOS2 under legacy. Testlog attached.

Here it goes: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lenovo_ThinkCentre_M910s_-_10ML

Let me know any remarks you may want to add.

If it is possible, can you tell me the name and model of you mouse and keyboard. For what I looked around those brand looks very nice:
  Port 1: Device 093A:2532 (HID)-(Mouse)(HID)-(Keyboard) FS Pixart Imaging, Inc.
  Port 2: Device 04D9:A0CD (HID)-(Keyboard)(HID)(HID) FS Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.

  Vendor 8086h Intel Corporation
  Device A348h Cannon Lake PCH cAVS

Thanks Doug

HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM 65W

Intel i5 8600 3.1 GHZ with Intel UHD 630 graphics and Intel i219LM NIC integrated chip.
AOS v 5.1 with WSeB

I created this page here: https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=HP_EliteDesk_800_G4_DM_65W

Just a question here:
1) Which Audio device does it has, I didn't find it on the PCI report to get the hardwareID.
