Themes and wallpapers
by Victor Westmann 25 Feb '08

Hello, does ReactOS 0.3.4 have support for themes? Will it have in the future? And I was wondering where should I submit the wallpapers I develop? To whom? Thanks. -- []s Victor Westmann

Just so say hi
by Victor Westmann 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi everyone. Im new here. My name is Victor and im from São Paulo, Brazil. I´d like to develop/find/create icons, wallpapers, screensavers, help to create themes (if possible) and stuff like that. I´ve tried to test ReactOS but since its only Fat (32) compatible I could not load it into my PC. :( When reactOS will be NTFS compatible? Can I translate it to my native language? Can I do(or try) some artwork for the project (or to promote it)? What do you guys need more? -- []s Victor Westmann

Artwork
by Victor Westmann 21 Feb '08

Where can I find the source file from the ReactOS logo? Do we have a big .PNG ou .SVG file? It will be a good point to start creating artwork, screensavers, wallpapers, icons and whatever else the system needs to become prettier and to gain more final users to actually use and test it and to gain simpathy of more developers! :) -- []s Victor Westmann

Bug - LiveCD release 30085 ( created 3rd Nov, 5:19 )
by Andy Elvey 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hi all - I've just downloaded the above release (from the following page) - http://svn.reactos.org/iso/ I tried this release in Qemu ( running on Linux Mint ). This release boots (*very* fast too! ) but I was unable to move the mouse-pointer. I tried the usual "Ctrl-Alt" in Qemu, to release the "grab", then clicked in the ReactOS window again, but had no luck. So, I just thought I'd pas this on. If there is another list or forum that I should be using for this, please let me know. Thanks ( and kudos to the ReactOS devs for an extremely promising next release! Keep up the great work! ) - Andy

Bios Flashing

Is it possible to flash bios using Reactos? Vendors like Gigabyte distribute .exe files that can do that within M$windows. Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math. Soc

disussion from forum

Hi ReactOS guy's, are you not able to discuss a topic in your forum or why did you delete my post in http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4307 ? Here is it again: [quote="jimtabor"] The irc meetings, there are two I think. It was voting on how to do the audit. Later if I remember right, we started movie review and joking around with unrelated issues. [/quote] I'm missing something about the meetings. [url= http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2006-January/007478.html]Ste…'s mail[/url] starts with: [quote="Steven Edwards"] There has been a lot of talk about possible tainted code in ReactOS and or developers that had access to leaked Microsoft source code. [/quote] and later [quote="Steven Edwards"] We know of four developers who have had access to leaked sources prior to working on ReactOS.. [/quote] Depend on the [url=http://www.reactos.org/en/dev_legalreview.html]ReactOSproject development policy[/url] [quote="ReactOS project development policy"] Developers who have had access to proprietary source code that would have originally fallen under trade secret protection (including, for example, the leaked Microsoft Windows source code) are a special case. The copyright issues are unchanged, as are the patent issues, but any developer who has the code is clearly either under an NDA or else does not have a license to possess the code. In the latter case, there is a clear violation of the relevant trade secrets by the developer. As such, this kind of code is unsuitable even for research and understanding. It is the policy of the Project to not take submissions from developers who have or use any such proprietary code in their development efforts for ReactOS. [/quote] this developers have to be banned from the project. Steven's mail or the developer's voting wasn't so restrictive: [quote="Steven Edwards"] 4) any developer that had access to leaked sources is baned from contributing code to the project for any of the modules that are the same as leaked sources they examined. [/quote] The question is, why are the tainted developers not banned? If only a few of the developers had access to the leaked windows source code, it is not a problem to ban them. I think more than four developers had access to the leaked windows source code. In this case it will never get a vote for banning the tainted developers, because they must ban itself. It exists the 'Open letter to all' from Alex. I've got the original mail with all the names from one of the developers. [quote="Alex's 'Open letter to all'"] /*Steven, Aleksey, Mike and myself had leaked windows code and looked at it. KJK, Eric, Filip, Magnus and Marteen had IDA and used it for reverse engineering. 9 developers, and these are only some cases.*/ Herve too, sometimes used IDA to verify some flags (I once helped him understand a weird DEVICE_EXTENSION structure), and Thomas, although against reverse-engineering, also used IDA to verify some implementations, although he said he never used it to actually reverse-engineer, and I believe him, although, once you have seen the taint, it's hard to really psycologically prove how much you were, or were not influenced by it. /*With more then 2/3rds of the entire developer team having broken the law and/or our IP policy, I continued my work in the same way.*/ [/quote] Now the story make sense. The implementation of ReactOS is based on the leaked windows source code and possible more than the four named developers had or have access to this code. [quote="jimtabor"] As you all can see, things have gone on to this project. Money was the key word here. Wine, Casper, GvG, hbirr etc,,, mass manipulation to gain from other peoples work. [/quote] And now it makes sense why you accuse some of the developers, which had left the project, that they have done something for money... The only developer, which has something to do with money, is Alex. In May he was bought by Microsoft.
