P.s. it might help if I attached the app I mentioned ;)

After someone mentioned the state of the radio buttons the other day, I had
a quick look at it.
Our user32 code draws them pretty well (with one or two mods)
As we're swapping test apps, I've attached one comparing the Windows and ROS
variants.
The problem ultimately comes down to NtGdiPie, NtGdiEllipse.
If you don't have any updates to these 2 functions, I'll look at them when I
get chance.

They all look pretty good, but strangely, they all appear to draw 1 pixel
larger than the Windows version.
Does the Windows code draw slightly undersize?

Do you have any improvements to the mentioned functions.
They need attention/improvement to improve the drawing of some of our UI
controls.
Don't wanna double up on work if someone already has something on this.
Cheers,

I have just tried to compile the current trunk and it was broken. I am using
the latest trunk with the latest ROS Build.

I read in the news that a new virtual machine software got released
under GNU GPL v.2 (dual license) today (2007-01-15). It's called
VirtualBox (VirtualBox.org) and is partly based on qemu code. On of
the advantages are that it support Intel's VT (vanderpool), run as GUI
app on Win and Unix and support WinNT 6 without glitches (as heise.de
says).
News entry and review (both in german):
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/83680http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/83678
Heise.de said it is ready to compete with the latest versions of
VMware, Parallels and VirtualPC. If that statement is based on facts
or not and if it is a good reliable tool; I don't know as I have not
tested it myself, as I am busy right now. I just posted it here, as it
might be useful for someone.

I'll probably get another weird email from the postmaster for this, but
it is sufficient to me to say that the GPL allows commercial ventures to
include code without the requirement of making the product open source.
There are a few rules though - and I'm not the one to ask about those,
but I know of many companies that include GPL code in their product
without the need to make their product open source.

It's funny how you're all going on about how good it is without even
having tested it.
QEmu supports multiple snapshots as well, as it does USB, and it's fully
open source. QEmu supports named pipes, mounting raw hard drives and any
other disk that Windows can see, audio, networking etc. So I don't think
it contains anywhere near as many features as QEMU, especially since
most of the advanced ones you mentionned are *not* Open Source.
I'm also quite curious on how they were able to take QEMU (a GPL
product) and add USB support under closed source (which QEMU already has
as GPL). Sounds like a bunch of hacks to me.

I noticed a small problem with ROS's calculator; it was missing 8 pixels
from the bottom in both normal and scientific modes. This lead to the
calculator appearing chopped off at the bottom and looking rather bad. Here
is a small patch fixing it.

Hm, Hm... It's not so simply.
I got same error with _fresh-installed_ ReactOS.

Hi,
So of you might already know that I have been working on desk.cpl
appearance page patch for some time. (bugzilla #1732, but I have already
some more local changes/fixes)
Eric Kohl is working on the same area now, so I'd like to talk about it
with him, so we will not do the same work twice.
I could not contact him so far.
so if you read this, Eric, please reply, or if someone can contact him,
please tell him.
Thanks,
Timo
