Title: amulegui on 8 bits depth X window looks ugly
Post by: Crakem on April 22, 2010, 07:50:10 PM: Please i'm using amule long time ago and for remote connections I prefer amulegui, but can't connect from internet. So I setup Xvnc for launching amulegui with 8 bits depth (amoung another remote programs) but amulegui fonts looks ugly and pink bar rayed. Could somebody say me if it could be solved, please? (k3b and gmplayer looks well)
Thanks a lot.

I think it's a problem of the VNC server/viewer.

That's not a "problem", it's feature. 8bit colordepth is to save bandwidth, not for having pretty view. Depending on way a particular GUI element is drawn , it may be more or less ugly.

The GMPlayer has only the "Audio" drop-down list as far as I can see. Maybe we are not alone here...

Sure! k3b screenshot attached

Post by: ^marcell^ on May 28, 2010, 07:40:28 AM: Thanks. Could this be related to how wxWidgets sets the background color for text by default?
If I find the time I will compile a small wx application and upload it for you, so we can check that.

Post by: Stu Redman on May 30, 2010, 12:27:20 PM: Isn't this the same problem with the font colors in the list ctrl that was recently fixed in SVN?

Post by: GonoszTopi on May 31, 2010, 01:24:04 AM: I don't think so. See how all text background have the wrong color.

Post by: Crakem on June 02, 2010, 02:10:02 AM: Umm, no luck here, screenshot attached.
Thanks for giving a first try!

Post by: ^marcell^ on June 02, 2010, 09:59:52 AM: So it has actually something to do with how the text on the buttons is drawn. This might be a bug or it can be avoided by using a transparent mask.
I'll look into the wx bugtracker and try some other things... maybe I can come up with something.
