[ql-users] Serial setting of Q40
Hello everyone, Yesterday, I tried smsq/e 3.09 on my Q40 (which was just laying there since... oh, so much things to do, so little time...) A (long) time ago, I did play with the daughter card of the Q40... during this manipulation, I might very well have removed the serial lines (well, at least, the HDD and FLP port still works fine), as well as changed IRQ/... . So, does any one have a complete description of the recommended setting for the jumpers (all of them, there is quite a few) on that card, for Q40 SMSQ/E ? (aka: if any Q40 owner has it opened and could just have a look at its interface card ? I'm missing my mouse (BTW, the mouse should be on PC/AT position, not MS one, right ?) Thanks in advance for your help. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Interestingly enough the saving code is prepared to handle scaling, the loading code however is not. Looks like development stopped in "mid-feature". Same is true for the ability to handle multiple layouts. Can you provide any example for a scaling menu? Even one that causes a crash? >>> 2) System sprites cant be shown and other hicolour sprites are >>> problematic. Should work in the next release. The new sprite format is awfully powerful but also awfully complicated to parse.

This sounds a bit complicated, especially as all the application menu stuff has always been somewhat of a mystery to me ;-) >>> 4) When changing the sprite origen of a menu, if the pointer >>> sprite is moved outside the window EasyMen crashes. Actually EasyMenu has code to cater for this case, but it couldn't handle my change for the default arrow system sprite. Will work in next release. Is this all? Nobody else any problems? I won't promise anything, but if I don't know what's wrong I certainly cannot change it. >> No, that is much too difficult. But EasySource can easily be made to >> be GD2 compliant.

I do suggest to link menus in as _rel files instead of inserting their disassembly into the code. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

There is no standard inbuilt way to do it, so you have to use info windows to "paint" the new colours. While you can alter the colours of menus with the techniques described in your excellent article, it's an uncomfortable method and the only practical way with standard Easyptr. I find it awful (and it might be the graphics chips on this PC, because the effect is nowhere near as bad on my Aurora) to see a menu drawn in one colour then a frame or two later the colours change. I guess if one PC will do this, others might find it uncomfortable too. Dilwyn, do you get the same visible colour change when you run my GD2 programs? They are written in standard EasyPtr and then recoloured. This might help with diagnosing what is wrong and whether it is a PC problem or not, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
