I could appreciate it more if you send a screenshot :) And here I thought you guys were like in the Matrix, /You get used to it. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.../;) looks good - how about making an rpm out of it and the spice deps so it can be part of the ovirt release instead of a manual process? (and for the activex as well)? That sounds terrific! Too bad I don´t know squat about making rpm´s:( But if any one would like a collaboration, I´d be happy to help out in any way I can! /Karli Thanks, Itamar /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/spice.html: http://pastebin.com/hjK3MtMH /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/spice.css: http://pastebin.com/dtQZ1kif Hope someone enjoys it.

13 sep 2012 kl. 01.21 skrev Dead Horse: Thank you! glad to be able to help ;) As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM (dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver and/or services for mouse handling. I have observed exactly this behavior before when running the spice client in a VM when the guest tools/drivers for mouse handling are not present (In my case most of the time VirtualBox). Very amusing bug:) But cripples SPICE´s usage. I have tested this from 5 different physical machines running Win7/IE, and this behavior shows itself only on machines with more than one monitor, or a laptop with another monitor attached .e.g. These guest tools you both mention, would these be http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools-0.1.exe;? And can you install them in a physical machine as well? /Karli - DHC On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 3:49 PM, Itamar Heim ih...@redhat.commailto:ih...@redhat.com wrote: On 09/12/2012 05:21 PM, Karli Sjöberg wrote: This is awesome work, thank you so much for this!
