Here are a few notes I forgot to put in the announcement:

* suggestion: locate 'x:\sys\apps\xwps\bin\xunlock.exe', open its Properties notebook, and turn to the 'Association' page. Now, associate it with '*.DLL', '*.EXE', and '*.FON' (no need for a program object). Hereafter, if you need to replace a binary that is currently in use, you can select 'xunlock' from its "Open as" menu, then do the replacement. Of course, you'll still have to terminate the app or reboot to have the system use the new binary (in the case of a WPS dll, just select 'Restart Desktop').

Hi Rick
To begin, thanks for all you and Alex do and your efforts to improve XWP.  I look forward to each new release. I am like a kid waiting for more candy.

It along with Xit (its additional titlebar buttons and clock, Title (moves the folder or program back in the shown order, and Killfolder (allows me to kill all open folders) allow me whatever I want with the desktop.

Next, is the attached pic the correct way to do the associations?

Hi Lars

I added the switch and rebooted.
On the Xcenter, I selected the drives folder.
Then I selected drive C which is my USB Fat32 drive
The folders and files come up and then the system hangs.
The good thing is that TOP allows a reboot.

The ArcaOS drives with JFS do not hang when selected.

Here  is my present desktop on one of my ArcaOS partitions.

I made me some red folders for system setup and its subfolders.

System folders are black except for the setup folders.

Program folders are yellow.

Network folders are green.

I have noticed that when using the Xcenter to use the drive folder, the drive menus slow to a craw and become unstable.  Does this and the sound problem go back to the SIQ (the Single Input Que) that was mentioned years ago, but not lately?

Hi Devid

Nice logo.  You got my vote. I am glad to see others with good ideas contributing. 

I modified yours a little bit and came up with this.  I then added the pngs to Dave's example to see what each looks like.

Dave

I made a couple of transparent ArcaOS logos for the rEFInd boot manager in case you want to see what they look like.

Hi Dave

I made two test images. I have no way to test.

The first is 128x128 8 bit

The second is 800x600 8 bit.

Not sure if they are not interlaced.  I checked the internet and I could find no good way to check.  If you test, back up the original. and have another partition available to where you can boot to enable you to replace the logo is it fails to boot.

Thanks, this is close to what I meant. Using file to identify the file (yum install file), I see
Code: [Select]
U:\EFI\BOOT\icons>file os_unknown.png
os_unknown.png: PNG image data, 128 x 128, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

Z:\Mozprofiles\Downloads>file arlogo128.png
arlogo128.png: PNG image data, 128 x 128, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced

Is the A in RGBA for transparency?
rEFInd is a UEFI boot manager, runs before OS/2 and quite capable of loading AOS 5.1, or rather OS2LDR.EFI
Here's a screenshot form their webpage, http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/,
I'll have to reboot to test it. I take it you're fine with me trying to get the rEFInd maintainer to include it in the distribution?

Yes i am find with whatever you do with it.  It looks like its bootmanger is find with transparencies.

Hi David, some beautiful art work.
Would it be possible to do some of your boot logos, or just a simple ArcaOS logo as a 128x128, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced? This to use with the rEFInd boot manager, which currently uses os_unknown.png for ArcaOS.
Thanks

The big icons that come with ArcaOS are not a complete folder set.  First I tested the folder color.  The light blue to me just wasn't a good color choice.  I did this.

Resized the folder to 80x80 from 128x1128
Darkened the blue just a small amount
Took out the opcacity and came up with the color I used.
Added lots and lots of folders

Hi David

I want to upload your boot logos to hobbes as Vol 1. I'm attaching the file for you to check it out.

Regards

Looks good Martin. I appreciate you doing this.
