Kitty · 11 October 2009, 21:23

. The full 3.1 upgrade is the one to choose from

Same here. Hopefully FOL can tell us how to do it

Kitty · 11 October 2009, 21:50

Well in the meantime I found a nice alternative, what do you think?

Kitty · 11 October 2009, 22:07

The only problem I found with this is even when I save the color change in pallete, and snapshot all, when I restart winuae the top bar goes back to white and the icon text goes back to black

NewDeli · 11 October 2009, 22:13

Just a hint : If you're running the WB @640x512, then you should be googling for 1280x1240 sized wallpapers (like this one) to retain the 1,25 ratio.

But I've noticed sometimes the 1280x1024 from a given set were not proportionally resized and thus appear distorted.

Kitty · 11 October 2009, 22:20

The native resolution for a fresh install of UAE Classic Workbench is 800x600 untouched, obviously I can change the resolution to suit though

Hmm, works fine here (even after a WinUAE shutdown). Sure you clicked on 'Save' and not 'Use' on the pallete window?

NewDeli · 11 October 2009, 22:26

I don't know about the upper white border, but you can change the font color or type this way :

And saves remain after a reboot
PS : I know, the color palette is really tiny

TCD · 11 October 2009, 22:30

The Scalos tool is a way more convenient way to do it. Try it

Not sure if it's in ClassicWB (looks like that's what you use for the screenshot), but it's in ClassicWB UAE.

yep clicked save and it didnt save

TCD · 11 October 2009, 22:41

Just tried it again and it works a treat here

Maybe Bloodwych has an idea what's wrong on your side.

NewDeli · 11 October 2009, 23:09

Since you get the idea about installing ClassicWB, may be you could install the UAE flavor as it bears more eye-candy options.

Doesn't even need to be in a separate folder, just copy the System_ADVSP.hdf in the same folder where your ClassicWB LITE .hdf sits, duplicate your config then edit it to make it load the proper .hdf.

This is the UAE version I'm running

NewDeli · 12 October 2009, 00:35

can't you remove that boing ball wallpaper for a while ? When you'll see the Scaleos window borders again (I also use UAE flavor TCD), you should be able to move/resize it to cover the white border. Just don't forget it's there "in the background" because it bears some important WB options.

Did you manage to save the WB icons font colors from the prefs. as shown in post #171 ?
Something's wrong if you can't save any WB settings.

But bear in mind that you get graphic/sound glitches in some WHDLoad games for sure, if you use any ClassicWB setup with JIT enabled.

JIT is only enabled in the 'Power' config, so if she uses any of the other two, she's fine with WHDLoad gaming

Kitty won't see scalos window border by removing the pic
because she Backdrop'd it

The white line of the titlebar is a bordercolor set to white
can be changed in palette(use scalos's palette)
