I face two issues with latest bbZero:
- bbZero freezes when accessing a sub-menu,
- background picture mechanism is reacting in a weird manner.
Laptop : Lenovo - Win7 Pro x64 - Graphic : NVidia Quadro K1100M + "internal" Intel HD 4600
[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"][color=#b22222;]1. BLACKBOX FREEZES[/color][/font]
[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"][color=#b22222;] ================[/color][/font]
I second Enigma83 for that issue (note that my laptop have the same NVidia+Intel graphic card couple):
"The main symptom seems to be that BB locks up when I right-click on the desktop and try to scroll the menus, particularly on the system/control menu."
(actually, ONLY System/Control menu do freeze BB on my side)
and:
"The mouse remains responsive, but I have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del like 5+ times before the menu to choose Task Manager comes up."
(Actually Ctrl+Alt+Del brings the Task manager almost immediately on my side).
This happens whether BlackBox is set as shell or not:
Set as shell : KO
started under bbLean (i.e. bbLean, upon request, unloaded first) : KO
started under explorer : KO
different styles : KO
bbLean (1.17.1 x64) DOESN'T have that issue on the exact SAME computer and the EXACT same STYLE (well, prolly a little bit adapted on bbZero from bbLean).
bbZero DOESN'T have that issue using the same style + same installation (x64) on another computer using an ATI/AMD Radeon HD7570 graphic card (not an NVidia).
[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"][color=#b22222;]2. BSETROOT/BACKGROUND WEIRD ISSUE[/color][/font]
[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"][color=#b22222;] ===============================[/color][/font]
I'm also facing an issue with bSetRoot.
If, in my style file, I set it to any background picture (e.g. [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]rootCommand: bsetroot "backgrounds/3colours/blue01.jpg"[/font] - with or without ") or any gradient RGB (e.g. [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]rootCommand: bsetroot -gradient diagonalgradient -from rgb:3f/00/00 -to rgb:48/48/48[/font]), THEN when I start my session either from booting up the computer or log out/log in, my default picture viewer runs and shows the background picture created as:
[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]C:Users<my_user_id/name>AppDataRoamingbsetroot.bmp[/font].
The background (of my desktop) is however properly displayed and remains displayed as expected.
If I switch Style (picture or gradient), the [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]C:Users<my_user_id/name>AppDataRoamingbsetroot.bmp[/font] picture is updated/created with the current setting I switched to but the picture viewer software is not run again.
If I set the background as a solid color (e.g. [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]rootCommand: bsetroot -solid rgb:77/90/aa[/font]), THEN it briefly (1/10th second) displays the proper background filled in with the solid color I set and then it displays a grey background. It remains grey. I tried several RGB color to check if there was a particular setting that would trigger that behaviour, but all the settings I used did the same : proper background for 1/10th second, then it switch to the same "mid-"grey background. NO "[font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]C:Users<my_user_id/name>AppDataRoamingbsetroot.bmp[/font]" file is created nor updated with [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]-solid[/font]. A color picker software indicates the grey is [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]RGB:70/70/70[/font] ([font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]HTML:464646[/font]).
On the same laptop running bbLean (1.17.1 x64), the BMP is created when it is set as picture / gradient, and not when set as solid (same behaviour as in bbZero). However, The BMP is NEVER displayed automatically in my picture viewer software when bbLean starts. Moreover, the [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]-solid[/font] setting properly displays a solid-colored background as expected.
With my second computer (ATI/AMD Radeon graphic card) using bbZero, there are NO .BMP created whatever the setting of [font="'courier new', courier, monospace;"]bsetroot [/font](picture/gradient or solid). All three settings are properly displaying the regarding background.
Any idea of anything I could do to help to fix those issues ?
Thanks in advance and happy XMas to everyone!
