Title: GUI does not fit 800x600
Post by: sidamos on July 21, 2004, 11:50:37 AM

HI!

I am running aMule 1.2.8 in a 800x600 (to save bandwidth remote) VNC session.

The 1.2.6 GUI was entirely visible, but iI do not see the "preferences" and "new preferences" button in 1.2.8.

It's just that the space between the top buttons is too wide, otherwise it would probably fit.

Please fix that for future aMule versions. Thanks!

Thomas

Strange, shows fine here and everywere I've seen 1.2.8 working. AFAIK, there are no differences between 1.2.8 and 1.2.6 in toolbar.
This pic is of the current 1.2.x branch's CVS (no differences either between 1.2.8 and CVS on toolbar).

HI!

It worked fine in 1.2.6. But now the buttons are too big. Let's see, if I can attach a screenshot here.

BTW, this is Suse 9.0 with KDE 3.1 desktop-

i think i know the problem..

the 'new prefs' button was removed from the gui on 1.2.6 .. on 1.2.8 its there (even if not clickable)

i guess u installed it via rpm? the fix is easy, but u need the srcs..

HI!

But I do not have either the "prefs" or the "new prefs" button. If the buttons would not be that big, they would probably all fit. In your screenshot, the buttons are smaller.

Yes, I installed via RPM (I once tried to compile aMule by myself and failed).

It's not that important to have a fix now (I can restart it in 1280x1024 for prefs changes). I am satisfied, if it will be fixed in future versions.

Thanks!

Thomas

what I understand from deltaHF's post is that the rpm is kind of broken on those buttons's side and that's why yuo can't see them.
If you have problems compiling aMule, count on this forums. As you might have already noticed, many people post because of compilation problems, and I don't remember a singel person not being ablt to compile finally ;-)
See also http://wiki.amule.org for information on howto compile aMule.

HI!

OK, I got the source and managed to compile 1.2.8 myself. What is the fix for the buttons problem?

Thanks!

edit src/muuli_wdr.cpp and comment lines 3169-3171

Code: [Select]

parent->AddSeparator();
parent->AddTool( ID_BUTTONNEWPREFERENCES, _("New Prefs"), amuleDlgImages( 0 ), wxNullBitmap, wxITEM_NORMAL, _("New Preferences Work in Progress") );
parent->EnableTool( ID_BUTTONNEWPREFERENCES, FALSE );
change to

Code: [Select]

//parent->AddSeparator();
//parent->AddTool( ID_BUTTONNEWPREFERENCES, _("New Prefs"), amuleDlgImages( 0 ), wxNullBitmap, wxITEM_NORMAL, _("New Preferences Work in Progress") );
//parent->EnableTool( ID_BUTTONNEWPREFERENCES, FALSE );

now 'make' again

HI!

Thanks! This worked! :-)

I can see now the prefs button and there would even be space for another button.
