I agree with mf on his changes. The black theme looks much better, and stops the flicker on my screen. I think the changes should be merged to usetup (with the timer put back in) -----Original Message----- From: mf [mailto:mf@mufunyo.net] Sent: 09 November 2005 19:15 To: ReactOS General List Subject: [ros-general] Re: Freeldr UI modifications Alex Ionescu wrote: > That's exactly how my freeldr looks, but I only had to modify > freeldr.ini.

I usually format the virtual drive before I install a new build of ReactOS on it to prevent registry corruption, so any local changes will be wiped this way.

Because even though I have touched my C book for the first time in roughly 3 years (it was dusty) and started reading it, I am still in no position to call myself a programmer or modify any ReactOS code. Until I advance at least a few chapters I will keep myself to modifying parameters, drawing artwork and motivating programmers instead of writing my own code. In this case I have simply modified some color parameters to change Freeldr's look. mf _______________________________________________ ros-general mailing list ros-general(a)reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-general ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

logon on the forum and bugzilla
by Hartmut Birr 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi, sometimes I try to login to the forum or to bugzilla from work (I do hope my boss didn't read this). It has worked in the past. Since the changing to the new web page, it isn't possible. After the login, I'm again on the login page. I see no error. I'm using W2k and the Internet Explorer 6.x. All settings are predefined. What is different between the old and the new login? - Hartmut

Freeldr UI modifications
by mf 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi, I recall having heard several suggestions to make freeldr easier on the eyes (don't underestimate 60Hz VGA resolutions on a CRT) and/or make it look more familiar to ntldr. I have experimented with editing bootsup.c and the result implements both suggestions. The black background makes it less flickery on CRT displays and looks more in line with ntldr (the Windows boot loader). Please see the attached image and tell me your thoughts and observations. Best Regards, mf.

Boot problem
by Ken Martwick 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

On my Compaq with AMD Sempron CPU and VIA chipset, Reactos boots the v.0.2.8 LIVE CDROM to the point where it shows the copyright, detects CPU and memory, and reports loading of software modules through "disk.sys". It then hangs and locks the PC so that it must be unplugged to reboot. The same sequence occurs on an HP with AMD Athlon CPU and a VIA chipset. Is this a known problem? What can be done?
