I've copied it and my %PATH% points to these two locations... should be fine...

Yeah, I can see these in the combo. When I select one I get 'Invalid parameter' on the console and when I hit compile, it crashes. Now I know why. The wrkDir is set to "\dantfw". When I change it to "C:\dantfw", it compiles OK. I've set the installation dir to "C:\dantfw" but it's still "\dantfw"

Heheheh... good one. Well, raytracing with global illumination doesn't work in scroll bars, will you do it ? ;)

I've added the drive letter everywhere in "D:\Documents and Settings\h3r3tic\Application Data\dantfw\InstallConfig.txt" but I still have to add "C:\" manually in wrkDir... Guess it's hard-coded or in some config file I have yet to find


Ok, but now I *really* have to go to sleep ;)
Keep up the good work,

oh!, sorry. This is a different thing.
there are no images on the stock buttons because the windows
look and feel is used, changing the look and feel with show the
images on the stock buttons.

let me confirm that...yes.

go to the share\themes folder on your Gtk and rename the
the Default folder to something else (DefaultWindows)
and rename the Gtk folger to Default.

How good the the XP look? I can only see the win2000 look.

that's nothing:
the swidish version of excel has the FUNCTION names in swidish!

maybe there is a registry value with them Start\Programs,
there is no environment var (on my system) that contains the value.

I forgot to add.

DUI license it's still LGPL but I will change it
to some license that allways you to do anything
with DUI except saying it's your original work.
probably the zlib license.

I was not joking. All this past year I had no use for
DUI on windows except promote D and get more DUI users.
So you see: user satisfation it's important to me.

Done that ! Themes work fine :) The XP look is quite good but that's not what I want from GTK :> if I can have cosmic-looking GUI with minimal effort, why should I use native-like look ;)

Actually DUI works like a charm now with one little exception - images not rendering (e.g. the 'Image' demo).

For those who don't like the default look or just want more, here's the link: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/
Download one of those and put the theme (extracted) to your GTK install dir \share\themes.

Some of these themes probably won't work as expected. But I've got the solution just right out of the box ;] Go here:
http://codeinsane.info/listDir.spy?viewType=detailed&path=download%2Fgtk%2Fengines
and download those dll's (or some of them, probably pixbuf and pixmap), put them to your GTK install dir \lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines
They are responsible for the rendering of these themes.

There's one more thing... One doesn't have to rename the theme folders to 'Default' to have a different look. There's a simpler option. Download this file: http://codeinsane.info/download/gtk/gtk2_prefs.exe and put it to your GTK install dir \bin. When ran, it lets you select the theme in a nice visual way so that you may check its look immediately :)

<sidenote>Once I've read that there's no pixmap (pixbuf?) for Win32... However on some forums I've read that there's an engine similar in functionality that can work as the original pixmap (buf?) so I've renamed it and it's fine. It has worked for me with PyGTK and works fine with DUI as well, so these .dll engines will hopefully work for anyone. They are not the most recent versions, I've probably downloaded them like ... half a year ago, but they still work fine</sidenote>

Since I have some exp with GTK and some more with OpenGL, I'd like to try to do sth with these extensions. Any clues for anyone willing to fix these problems ? What deserves attention ? what could be tried at first ? I've tried compiling these samples but they give an Access Violation.

SimpleGL use to compile and run.
I change DUITestsGL so it compiled and run.
ShapeGL never ran.

now they all end with "Access Violation"
probably I did something stupid yesterday.
I'm uploading the linux version now after that I'll take a
look at it.

If you know how to debug on windows (I couldn't make it work yet) you could easelly see where is the access violation. that would help.

Ant

PS
thanks for the themes thing - I'll see if it's possible to
include the theme swapper on the next release.

Well, I haven't debugged it but I've commented out some portions of code. That's something weird... When drawGL contains only this:

glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity ();

it runs without a problem and the frame is even black (correctly clearing ?)... but when I uncomment e.g.

glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f);
glEnd();

it gives me an access violation... just like doing e.g. glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

on the other hand, glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix don't give an AV... What might be the problem ? Some OpenGL initialization options may be broken... No clue about which ones though...
