Scalos functionality issues

Open deadwood2 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

"on "Aros Scalos" The Scalos preferences work fine, see screenshot, the problem is that there is a corruption on a Scalos Preferences file that prevents starting almost all Scalos preferences.

There remains the serious problem of slow icons when opening a folder, also DualPNG Icons are not supported, graphical corruptions occur when using them, also the automatic icon "from the menu" layout seems not to work, I need to check if there is an option in Scalos Prefs."

List of issues:

  1. (x86 & 68k) Menu13.prefs file is missing in AROS build
  2. (x86) DualPNG icon is rendered wrongly. Half of the icon only or text is missing. Using "Scalos -> Update" does not fix it. Using "Window -> Clean up by -> Name" fixes the current view, but when scrolled down newly shown icons are wrong again "Check for overlapping icons" option solves the text issue. Note: this option seems to be ingored under x86
  3. (x86) After copyign Menu13.prefs from OS3 or ABIv0 contrib, Scalos Preferences application freezes at startup This is possibly due to images being stored in copied configuration that are not present on disk
  4. (x86 & 68k) There is conflict in THEME: assign between AROS and Scalos. Both use it for their own theme settings Note: default Scalos themes path is Scalos:Themes, not THEME. However THEME: is hardcoded in ~100 paths refering to image files.
  5. (x86 & 68k) If THEME: is set as default on AROS, button images are not visible in Scalos Preferences application
  6. (x86 & 68k) If THEME: is set as default on AROS, top nagivation toolbar is not visible in drawer windows
  7. (x86 & 68k) Refresh of drawer windows is considerably slower than on Wanderer
  8. (x86) Prefs/Locale is not working when started from Scalos and causes other preferences to fail.
  9. (x86) Prefs/Input is not working when started from Scalos and causes other preferences to fail.
  10. (68k) If Menu13.prefs file is present, saving Scalos Preferences causes a crash
