Try this pointer.

@BillE

Thank you for your answer, the problem is not the hot spot position, it seems to be good, but rather the form of the pointer itself that gives me a stange feeling because of not being rotated to the same angle or something like that I imagine, thus giving me this sensation. But I'm pretty sure this not objective at all, only i was used to my previous pointer form... May be someone we drawing talent can make a nice 32bit pointer reproducing the traditionnal pointer form but a bit bigger ?

@abalaban


I am using a PNG 32 bit type pointer now.

Check the file envarc:sysdef_pointer.info

There should be two tooltypes, XOFFSET and YOFFSET which give the offset valuse that may be needed in an image to accurately place the pointer active spot. If these are missing the values will default to 0 which may not be correct.

check your PM :)

I finally did the installation of OS4 Final on my default boot partition last evening, one thing that annoy me compared to my previous install : the mouse pointer size which is way too small on my 1200x1024 resolution, I tried the 32bits Mousepointer from OS4Depot but I can't make myself to this pointer...
So here is my question it seems to me there was an option somewhere (Picasso96?) that enable the mouse pointer to be bigger (that should be how I managed to have such a big pointer under pre4) but I can't remember which. Can someone help me ?

PS: the 32bits pointer is a good idea but either the OS4Depot one has something strange, either this me being accomodated to the default one but I have the impression to not click on the right place. It's a strange feeling I can't really explain which give the impression to not be as accurate with this pointer than with the one I had under pre4

@keisangi

I have NO idea whats required for Japanese support in the OS or the apps, but if you want to do a Japanese locale translation for IBrowse aswell, drop me a line and we'll sort it out.

I would assume that as long as the OS supports whatever is required, that it will just be a matter of translating and creating the catalog, but I'm a total novice when it comes to all that as everything I use is in english anyway

@Valiant



Yes they're all useless on os4 imho..
jkff, jiwa, kezako ..all
os4 changed the font system.
But, if you can get something up and working i'm strongly interested :) it's not because i couldn't made these apps work on os4 that nobody can..
beside jkff is opensource ..

thanks for your offer to help.
i don't know yet if they will say "ok.
i'm waiting for their answer.

but if you can speak and write japanese, we could share the work, no problem. that's kind of you to propose ^^

i'll ask my gf (depending on her time) to help too, the more the merrier ;)
so it could get done asap.

for just the wb, menu , prefs, os4 installer and general interface,
i think i could get everything done in just few days.

after, the docs would take longer.. lots of text in there..

@keisangi

If you'd like some help with Japanese support, I'd be happy to do whatever I can. Have you tried the current classic solutions on OS4? I set them up on my A1, but it caused some show-stopping problems with IBrowse and now
the Locale prefs editor always GRs when it first starts up.

@Outcast

That's what a lot of first offenders need, a short sharp shock, put them into army glass houses, up at 6am hard graft and no thrills no TV No Game consoles etc

@Chip

hey thanks for this :)
i contact him right now :)

see you

@all

thanks for the support :)
I got mail from hyperion too.
if they allow me to do the translation, i'll do my best to get it done FAST ;)

having to switch linux or windows each time i want to write a mail or browse some Japanese site is annoying.

I hope OS4 get Japanese support soon.

@keisangi

Check your PrivateMessages!

Inmate are complaing that.. The MAN'S too strong !!

@sundown

> Now if you're talking about makeing the index thumbs,
> that takes about 2 secs per image for me.

No I'm really talking about the time to load the index file.

OS4 Pre4 -=> 1.8 sec
OS4 Final -=> 23-25 secs

I don't understand why you don't have the speed difference,
did you hard reset your machine, you must load the kickfiles
in kickstart of pre4.

Bye!

@tonyw & @Thread

Excellent advice and tips! I will try out my floppy drive with OS4.0 final when I get home after my travels.

@keisangi

I can't answer your questions but that is a generous offer which I am sure will be accepted to one extent or another.
Good onya mate.

ace

hi there,
who should i contact to offer doing the japanese translation of os4 ?
(for free of course)

i want to see os4 with japanese locale and support.
who is in charge of the locales and internationalization?

thanks for you time

@nubechecorre and Outcast

Thanks for the info.

The site doesn't exactly have a lot of info though !


Bill

@LiveForIt

I think he was referring to using E-UAE on a PC.

@Walkero
It is fairly easy, are you using the E-UAE gui at all? First step is to ensure your CDROM is NOT mounted under Linux.

Give me some more info and we'll go from here. For instance what is the mount directory your cdrom points to? Usually (Debian) /cdrom but for other linux flavours can be elsewhere like /mount/cdrom.

@Curty

Unlikely that you tightened it too much, but since it's only a nylon spacer, it will "creep" with time and gradually get even shorter.

If you can see that the module is crooked, perhaps it might be an idea to make a couple of simple washers out of some thin plastic (like a Chinese food take-away container or soft drink bottle) and slide them under the existing spacers without removing the module.

Don't try to use anything metallic, though. Too much breakable stuff in that area.

@tonyw

So it could be that I have tightened the the nut and bolt to tight, causing the module to try and pull away?
Ill have to check later.
Thanks everyone for the tips.
