Hi Guys, For a long time I have been complaining about the Mahogany Options screen under Linux. Since I haven't had M working under Windows for years I presumed the problems existed there too. However, having loaded the latest online Windows version, I see that the options screen there works fine which explains why nobody did anything about my problems ;-)
Today I did a bit of playing to figure the extent of problems. This is what I found using current HEAD M & wxWidgets cvs builds on a Gentoo system with KDE 3.5.1 and Gnome 2.12 / gtk 2.8.12 First under KDE: I have my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. If I minimize it, M resizes to take up the space and sizes smaller if I bring the taskbar back. If I edit preferences however, The bottom of the preferences window is off the bottom of the screen and nothing changes if you vanish / restore taskbar. Using Als-Space, you cannot move the window at all and the only thing you can resize is the right edge of the window down to some preset size after which is will not get narrower. The bottom 10-15% of the prefs cannot be gotten on screen at all meaning you cannot click the Apply / OK buttons and the Alt-O does not seem to work IIRC. As such, you cannot save any changes you make to preferences since the OK button doesn't seem to retain focus correctly at all times - sometimes Help seems to get the focus for some treason I didn't figure out. If you set the font size for the folder list (say to 8pt), the tree doesn't change at all from the existing ?12pt setting even if you close / restart M. This makes it very tedious with many folders. Under Gnome: You cant seem to make the taskbar disappear so I didnt test this. The Prefs screen is still far too tall although using alt-space move you can move it upwards to get apply / OK on screen. 12pt unchanged folder list text size here too :-( HTH MarkL ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
