Applications / Dynamic Icons - Not Showing Thumbnail Icons.
« on: September 09, 2024, 11:14:37 pm »
Hello
I was wondering about this issue with Dynamic Icons.
- First I turn Dynamic Icon on for all the desktop. "System Setup - Workplace Shell" under the "Icon Size" tab, "Icon Display = Dynamic Size".
- Second, I set "SET BIGICONSPATH=C:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS" or any other icon theme.
The issue is that if you you can not no longer see the icon thumbnail (?) that PMView can do that to an PNG, BMP or PTR image. I think it puts the Thumbnail on the EAs or something.
--
Workaround 1: There is a work around to disable "Dynamic Icon" on the folder, but it is more like a workarround instead of how one will like to see the icons. And also the icons will get smaller to the default size.
--
Workaround 2: Remove the PNG, BMP, PTR images from the PNG Icon Theme. I like this one since the icons are not small, but for the other images that does not has "thumbnail" it will not show the icon of the theme.
--
Do you think it will be good to request the author to try to find some solution for this? Like trying first to display the "thumbnail" of the image file instead setting the default image icon first by default?
Any other workarounds? Did my issue makes sense ? (sometimes it is hard for me to explain desktop/GUI things
)
Regards

Hi again
I was thinking if it can be possible to upscale the Warp 4 icons with AI, but it still looks too creepy

« on: September 08, 2024, 12:30:56 am »
Hello
Just to document this old thread. The OS/2 Warp 3 Beta 2 CD-ROM has a boot animation:
- https://youtu.be/k10yM0OCJeE
First, there is like little OS/2 logos and it switches to the big one
Second, after some loading the OS/2 circles disappear and appears in an animation.

Setup & Installation / Re: Dynamic Icons help
« on: September 06, 2024, 07:55:05 pm »
Hello Doug
There is an INF file with documentation.
Go to "System Setup - Workplace Shell" to the "Icon Size" tab and press the Help button there.
PNG Icons Themes
If you want to change the PNG icons themes, I have this little draft document here:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dynamic_Icons_Themes_Installation
For any PNG icon theme you want to put on ArcaOS, it is as easy as pointing it on the config.sys with:
- SET BIGICONSPATH=C:\SYS\ICONS\BIGICONS
Change Default Size.
To change the default size of all the desktop icons, go to "System Setup - Workplace Shell" under the "Icon Size" tab.

Internet / Re: Dooble releases-Qt6
« on: September 06, 2024, 02:47:43 am »
Hello
Here in Ecuador Whatsapp is used a lot. I also tried with Qt6 and Dooble here.
I changed the agent to a different one so it can load the page, otherwise it asks you to update the browser:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Here on my side is very slow. I was able to link it, it took some time to load my chats, I can see those, but it is very slow here in my VM to be able to chat. It seems it takes a lot of CPU resources. But it is nice to see it loading, I will try to test it on real hardware this weekend.
Thanks for all the efforts of porting Qt6 and Dooble !!!

Multimedia / Re: Updated Uniaud32 build
« on: September 01, 2024, 05:20:31 pm »Updated to latest 6.1.x kernel code: https://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-6.1.107-20240901.zip
Thanks Paul
I tested it (Release version) with ArcaOS 5.1.0 (BIOS) guest on VBox 7.0.14 (Windows 11 23H2 host).
- VM ICH AC97: Works, Audio control working, no traps. Just like the included ArcaOS 5.1 Uniaud.
-- I still have an issue that the first time I play a wav, I hear it loud (100%) and the next times I play it I hear it lower respecting the volume setting. If I drag a file to force the drag sound it sound 100% again, I play another wav and it is 100% again and the next times respects the volume control (40%). It's the same issue from 3.01.03 (5.14.7), not a new issue.
- VM Intel HD Audio: Works, Audio control working, no traps.
-- But it still produce sounds in a lower volume. I had to rise it to a 100% to be able to hear something in my speakers, it is the same issue as the 3.01.03 (5.14.7).
For me it is working fine I'm keeping it on my VM.

Applications / Re: Any way to increase mouse tracking speed other than the regular System applet?
« on: September 01, 2024, 12:38:56 am »
Hi.
Do you have USBMOUSE.SYS on your config.sys ?
- https://hobbesarchive.com/?detail=/pub/os2/system/drivers/mouse/IBM_USBMouse_10-57.zip
But it is a bad syndrome that the USB light of the mouse does not turn on. But maybe you just can give it try to see what happens.
Regards
Unfortunately the USV mouse would not work - in fact the USB light on the mouse didn't even come on. I know the USB ports work (well, at least the power part!) because I also have connected a pair of speakers which have a 3.5mm jack for the audio but take power from a USB socket.
