Here's how it looks like in the setup dialog: http://cygwin.de/cygwin-splash.png The faux motion blur should taper to match the logo's expansion. Going straight down as it does now is optically incorrect. I will fix this on future treated stills. I can do the same for the animation, too. I have not the faintest idea how to include an animation in a standard MFC dialog. Does MFC grok animated gif's in icon files? setup.exe doesn't use MFC. It's a straight-to-the-API program. MFC is a Visual C++ Professional feature. You don't want to use GIF. It would more than double the current size of setup.exe, and it looks horrid besides: http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/from-box/animation.gif Knocking out the background will lower the size and remove some of the color artifacts, but it'll still be too big and too ugly. PNG frames animated using a 66 ms SetTimer() won't work, either. It adds 340 KB to setup.exe, and then only if Windows' built-in PNG decoder can handle transparency. Given that IE6 doesn't do PNG transparency correctly and it's contemporaneous with XP, I think you'd end up statically linking setup.exe to libpng to fix this, again roughly doubling setup.exe's size. Shipping BMPs is a complete no-go. 15 RGBA frames cost 2.3 MB. IMHO, the right way is to use DirectShow along with a proper video codec. XP shipped with WMV7 and MPEG-2 decoders, which get the animation down to about 60 KB: http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/from-box/animation.asf http://etr-usa.com/cygwin/logo/from-box/animation.m2v It looks like w32api might have the definitions needed for this. I see w32api/dvdmedia.h, for setting up an MPEG-2 decode, for instance. These links may be of some help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd375468%28VS.85%29.aspx http://stackoverflow.com/questions/530998/ I realize that DirectShow is a bit of a bear to set up, but keep in mind the space savings. Ignoring the SHTDI problem, the only way DirectShow isn't a net win is if it costs hundreds of KB of compiled code to set up. There's no way that's true. Apart from that, I really like the still and I would be content with it... except... the C jumping out of the box doesn't have this beveled look, like all other icons have now :} I can bevel it, but I hope you aren't expecting the exact same look. The 3D render is made in a photo-realistic studio environment, which is going to give a much different result than Photoshop's highly idealized 2D bevel filter. Do you want me to try to match the look, or were you just hoping to see highlights and bent studio light reflections so that the animation suggests the logo has the same shape as in the 2D art?

make 3.81 broken
Hi guys, I wasted many hours just to find out that make 3.81 does not support MS-DOS path names. As cygwin is supposed to be the unix-like environment for Windows, from a dumb users perspective, this is not the expected behavior. In other words it means the make for Windows lacks support for Windows path names. There are no workarounds if you are using Eclipse CDT on Windows, because it generates the makefiles. Can you revert to make 3.80 or publish a working 3.82?

BRLTTY has a cut paste facility. It sometimes doesn't paste all
characters inside cygwin. Pasting an att sign into a shell prompt, the
terminal beeps, and no character is written. Doing the same thing
after exiting bash, but still with BRLTTY running and in a cmd
session, the att sign is printed.
I don't have the time to investigate now, but I can say that depending
on whether it could open the terminal through CONIN$, brltty uses
WriteConsoleInputW (or WriteConsoleInputA if not available) or SendInput
for this.
In the case at stake it is WriteConsoleInputW. Let me explain a simpler
case (pasting is the same)
- the user presses '@' on his braille keyboard (ascii 0x40).
- brltty wants to synthesize it.
- brltty calls VkKeyScanW('@') to get the corresponding virtual key,
0x0630 on an azerty keyboard, which means altgr (controlkeystate 1) +
virtualkey 0x30
- brltty calls MapVirtualKey(vk, 0) to get the corresponding scancode,
0x11 on a standard PC keyboard.
- brltty thus calls WriteConsoleInputW, passing it a KEY_EVENT_RECORD
structure:
.bKeyDown = 1,
.wRepeatCount = 1,
.wVirtualKeyCode = 0x630,
.wVirtualScanCode = 0x11,
.uChar.UnicodeChar = 0x40,
.dwControlKeyState = 1,
and then the same with bKeyDown = 0.
This correctly inserts an '@' in a plain windows console with the
windows cmd, but with a windows console with the cygwin or mingw shell,
this beeps and does not insert anything.
I don't know why it works with cmd, but the above code is wrong.
The code returned by VkKeyScanW is not just a key code, it's the
combination of a key code in the low byte and a bitmask specifying
the modifier keys in the high byte, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646329%28VS.85%29.aspx
So, what I did was to write a simple testcase (wow!) which reproduces
your behaviour using the french keyboard layout.
Using the above virtual key code of 0xc630 and a control key state of 1
does not work. However, computing a control code and a key code from
VkKeyScanW's return value works fine.
Here's the testcase:

Re: install on win7 enterprise, can't modify bash start up shortcut
Sorry, I didn't reply correctly when I first tired to send this. This was simply modifying the shortcut that starts the bash window. If you double click on the Cygwin icon on the desktop, it starts a bash shell. If you click on the small Cygwin icon, upper left on the top window bar, you can select properties. This gives you a window to modify properties of the bash shell window such as the size, font color, font size, etc. When you close after your modifications, there was always an option to apply the changes to the current window only, or to modify the shortcut that started the window. I have always done this as soon as I installed cygwin. This time, I got the aforementioned error message. I am not sure what to do to allow me to modify the bash window on a permanent basis. If the shortcut isn't there, that would imply that the install may not have gone correctly, but I have installed two or three times (in different locations), trying to correct this, but the results are the same. I have had other issues with win 7 where software could not write to files in their own install directories. This seems especially prevalent with apps that don't make registry entries. I was wondering if something similar was in play. The cygwin icon points to Cygwin.bat, so I presume there are some arguments in the script that configure the shell. I could try to manually edit the .bat, but I'm not sure what I would change to get the window modifications I am looking for.

Re: install on win7 enterprise, can't modify bash start up shortcut
I've had no issue with re-sizing the bash window in the past and having those changes saved to the shortcut, even on win7 ent, so I am concerned about the health of the install. The desktop icon points to Cygwin.bat, but that doesn't have anything in it about the bash shell. Can someone point me to the ini file where the specs of the bash window would be recorded? I can check that file on another machine and see if it exists on the suspect install and see if I can edit it. That may give a clue as to what is amiss. I don't know anything about mintty and have always used bash. Can I run all of my bash commands, or would I be learning a new shell?

For one thing, mintty can be resized :) Csaba -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: install on win7 enterprise, can't modify bash start up shortcut
* LMH (Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:50:01 -0400) If you click on the small Cygwin icon, upper left on the top window bar, you can select properties. This gives you a window to modify properties of the bash shell window such as the size, font color, font size, etc. You're not modifying the bash shell but the terminal bash is running in. I have always done this as soon as I installed cygwin. This time, I got the aforementioned error message. I am not sure what to do to allow me to modify the bash window on a permanent basis. Why don't you just run the batch file directly (and not through the shortcut) and modify it then? The cygwin icon points to Cygwin.bat, so I presume there are some arguments in the script that configure the shell. Is there any religious taboo that would prevent you from opening the batch script in an editor and see that you're wrong? I could try to manually edit the .bat, but I'm not sure what I would change to get the window modifications I am looking for. You are confusing a terminal and the shell it runs in. Actually, it would make sense to directly configure the cmd terminal (via defaults) because you probably want the changes in all Windows terminal windows (Cmd.exe).

Re: install on win7 enterprise, can't modify bash start up shortcut
Thank you for all the clarification on shells and terminals, I have always used the terms interchangeably, which I guess was not correct. A few replies, Is there any religious taboo that would prevent you from opening the batch script in an editor and see that you're wrong? No, I did this on my XP cygwin install, and there is clearly nothing there to indicate the windows size, nor was there anything in the bashrc files, so I didn't know where to look next. I suppose I need to look at ini files for the terminal that gets started. That window belongs to cmd.exe; bash runs inside it. The settings are in the registry; for the Cygwin shortcut it's This would imply that I'm trying to change a registry setting related to cmd.exe and the OS isn't letting me. The confusing thing is that I have done this before on the exact same OS and not had this issue. Just for giggles, I tried to change the terminal settings for my windows command line shortcut. I did not get the same error, but I did notice that there was a menu entry called Defaults as well as Properties. This gives the same options, but this time when I save them there is no error. Changing the defaults changes the window options for both the bash shortcut and the windows cmd shortcut (I have both on my desktop). So I guess this is resolved, but I suppose I should look in to running the mintty terminal. What are the basic advantages of this compared to running in cmd?
