ArcaOS 5.0.8 Part2
This is a quick continuation of my Part 1. One of my initial issues was this:
The scroll bars are always present for the Computer window every time it is opened and no matter the window size. As soon as I pull the window larger, they disappear.
So, the Drives on my desktop was a shadow and looking in the Computer widow I could not find the real Drives folder. It was out of the Computer window which still did not make sense because the scroll bars would go away. Long story short, I deleted the desktop shadow Drives and moved the real Drives to the Desktop. Problem solved. How? Not sure.
Some of my issues using Dynamic Icons:
- The window upper corner icon does not always open with the Dynamic Icon thumbnail. Closing and opening the window almost always clears this up.
- The trashcan defaults to a default icon occasionally when there is a trashcan action.
- BIGICONS directory not changeable, see below.
The installation directory for the icons is “\sys\icons\BIGICONS”. In the config.sys there is this statement:
SET BIGICONS=C:\sys\icons\BIGICONS
However, I have tried setting BIGICONS, in the above statement, to another directory without luck. So, the way I install is to rename the BIGICONS directory to BIGICONS_ and copy the BIGICONS directory from this repo into \sys\icons.
My wish list items:
- Globally turn the Menu Bar for Icon View off (Maybe there is and I do not know).
- XCenter use the png icons rather than the defailts.
Anyway, my icon theme is here right now on my home Gitlab (Mybigcons). Here are some screen shot samples:
Time for a snapshot and to try and optimize and find the delay in the config.sys during startup/boot.
