Scalos discussion

small change: "Context menu on dragbar only" in "window! (Scalos prefs) activated

that makes it possible that the shiny aros menu is shown when clicking in a window

This way you are loosing the Scalos "window" context menu, no? (the one with "Close", "Open Parent", "Find" options)

BTW, are you able to update your site to use HTTPS? I have trouble accessing pure HTTP sites.

No if you click f.e. on a icon you still get that menu. And inside that shiny menu there are "Open parent" and so on too

then I have to upload it somewhere else. I use the ssl certificate I have already for my company domain. I could try to attach it here (with some extra work)

As said mixing different versions of Scalos and copying so many preferences everywhere is not good, calculate that the average user will always encounter problems.

Recreate a system using "native Scalos AROS only" included in the latest "AROS-20190416-1-any-i386-contrib-GCC650.tar".

Using old icons on a powerful modern system like AROS x86 makes no sense, powerful AROS x86 native RTG , so it precludes having more qualitative icons.

I checked this with 20190416-1 build and I think the menus when you right-click on an icon and when you right click in window but not on icons are slightly different. Anyhow I personally prefer the applications menu to remain on top bar instead being a context menu, so not a problem - I will just revert that setting.

I agree here - we should standardize error reporting on the same version, otherwise we might be getting different results for the same actions.
I for example cannot open Scalos prefs in the 20190416-1 build. They crash right after start.

I have reuploaded my own Win Hosted X86 installation

https://aros-platform.de/Scalos_x86.zip

Can you tell me which release of AROS this is based off? I need to copy Linux-hosted kernel and the latest one is not compatible with this build (that's expected).

[OlafS3]

it was the latest 2018 I downloaded from your webpage. I have not tested it on the 2019 series

I used the last stable version (2018) so we should test it on newest 2019?

I don't know if anything changes, for sure compilation has changed now GCC 6.5.0, Menu13.prefs always crashes anyway !

Yes, that would be welcomed. It will be the base from which I will start work on Scalos once I'm done with ABIv0 refresh. (though I will be using x86_64 version).

Ok, thanks I got it working under Linux-hosted. Quick question: where do I change so that application menu is not a pop-up menu, but it is displayed in screens title bar?

@OlafS3

Well, there is some problem with some types of icons on your build. I used icon "borrowed" from Icaros. I resized the window so that half of the icons is visible. Then I move the window contents. Window remains damaged, see screen shot. This is not happening with the icons you are using. Not  a big problem though. I'll eventually debug it and fix it.
