If you don't like the menus: Have you tried out 'NSMacintoshInterfaceStyle' (defaults write NSGlobalDomain 'NSMenuInterfaceStyle' 'NSMacintoshInterfaceStyle') That makes the menu be shown as a horizontal bar on top of the screen. Putting the menus into the document windows needs some digging into the -gui implementation, and in my very personal opinion it does not comply so well with the openstep design which in the MDI/SDI question could be described as cooperating/controlled SDI. (As each document has one window, but one app in control of them.) Do you remember also Delphi had its main menu apart from the document views, and I never had the feeling it was no real Windows app. > > Is there a way to change the window background color to something > other than dark gray? The easiest way to change the colour scheme is to install Preferences.app from the backbone project. (It also saves your colour schemes as text files in ~/GNUstep/Library/Color so you can easily edit it other than the cryptic System.clr file.) It is apparently not actively developed, newer prefs apps should appear at Étoilé soon. > The scrollbar does not respond to the mouse wheel. How do I change this? This seems to be a shortcoming of the windows port. Remember -gui is not yet stable (exspecially on Windows). > It's not clear to me how to make the apps launch by clicking in > explorer. Any ideas? I must admit it is some time since I tried out GNUstep on Windows, but clicking onto the .exe should work. This is puzzling to me. > I can launch GSTest.app by cd'ing to the gnustep-examples-1.0.0/gui > directory and typing openapp GSTest/GSTest.app but if I cd to the > GSTest directory and type openapp GSTest.app it reports this error: > > Can't find the required application: GSTest.app! Have you tried openapp ./GSTest.app? (In the unix world it is considered bad style to search in the current dir by default, as it raises security problems -- what about putting an executable into the user's home directory that deletes everything?) > How do I resize the windows with the mouse? Don't understand this. There should be a resize bar at the bottom of your window (if its NSResizable flag is set) which works like in every other environment. I say sorry for my momentarily mediocre English, I have had a couple of beers tonight. And I've tried to follow the finale of the German version superstar serial (unfortunately the one with the worse voice has won, perhaps just for looking like James Hatfield. So what. Who takes commercial TV channels serious?). Anyway, I wish you happy coding and God bless, my friend. (Bob Ross is great.)
