Hi everyone, I am running AROS hosted, inside a Fedora distro. The window starts only at the full screen resolution (which is problematic - it is a window, so part of the windows lands outside the screen). There is no Boot application to change this behaviour (there is an icon, no executable file though). How can I change the starting screen resolution to something more sensible? Thanks a lot!

for the next release we have to wait until there are fixes to be made'.

I have changed the theme for the next release 'arosminimal2':)

many thanks:)

Thank you miker, I have already implemented IconDrop on the new AROS One 2.4!

IconDrop version 1.02 has been posted to AROS Archives.

I have started the process of revising IconClone from version 1.08 to version 1.09. one major difference will be the addition of two buttons at the bottom to allow an icon image exchange or the complete replacement of an existing icon file. Hence the updated version will also use the new display offsets from IconDrop with the correction factor for x-coords, new Erase_Rectangle and any new enhancements that are needed. For those who like to change the palette color for background color I'm developing a method to read the new background color directly from the window rasterport. :-)

Perfect miker, IconDrop works very well, the New Year has started well :) [img]https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/forum/attachments/icondrop_3.jpg[/img]

After much testing I concluded that the windows were being drawn correctly depending on which theme is currently being used. My program offsets needed to be adjusted to display correctly. The program now works as expected with window themes with different border thickness. Here is the revised IconDrop program and source code. The code is still a bit messy.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New 2024 to you all!

happy new year to all

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=3443]@AMIGASYSTEM - In fact, it seems that by increasing the window border by 10, instead of growing and advancing outwards, it does so inwards, but only from the left side! I don't know if this is a clue, Amiga OS 3.1 seems to have border 5, whereas OS 3.9 has a much larger border! At the moment it can be solved by correcting all configurations and fixing the border at 5 (even just the left border)[/quote] I'm not sure how the increased border thickness affects other programs but for IconDrop and other icon tools I have an easy workaround. If border thickness > 5 then factor = (thickness / 2) and if factor > 0 then winw += factor. I have to also apply the correction factor to the x-offsets for the display areas to center the icon images. I don't mind using workarounds in the short run but eventually the correct solution should be to identify and fix the issue(s) in Intuition Library. You shouldn't need to change any window themes if it doesn't affect other programs. The newest version of IconDrop will be posted.

After doing some further testing with the Ice Theme and those derived from it with window border thickness of 10 I noticed a few things. For whatever reason if the window border has a thickness greater than five there are distortions both vertical and horizontal. This graphics issue seems to be an internal AROS issue maybe with the Window Decoration? In the screenshot you can see the original distorted IconDrop user interface at the top. After I added some correction factors the enhanced IconDrop user interface in on the bottom left. Notice also the bottom button of ScreenGrabber. The Zune user interface is also distorted. I'm not sure why this is happening. For example if my IconDrop window while using Ice Theme with screen font Arial 16 is supposed to be 231 it is actually drawn as 227. So it is 4 pixels short. Something similar happens to window height. It is drawn shorter than it really is. When you query Window width in this case it reports width = 231. This window layout issue that corrupts the graphics for the right side and bottom side may be related to the window theme scroller gadgets on the right and bottom that are drawn wrong.
