Commctl32 and uxtheme bugs
by Vijay Kiran Kamuju 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Hi all, I just found this on msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/pl… and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html… I think it does tell us that we need commctl version 6 in order to get theming, but we are using version 5.0 implementation. The above article also mentions how to use commctl version 5 with uxtheme, but we need some concrete theming/non theming examples inorder to fix the notiious WMGETTEXT bug that came with unicodification of controls. I will be searching msdn for more info bye, Vijay

Bug: kernel: file.c
by Ivan Gyurdiev 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

This makes the Battlefield 2 demo go a bit further, before crashing again, due to unimplemented call ntdll.dll.NtSetSystemInformation. The mask parameter is not initialized by RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (it returns TRUE in that first block), and then you get an invalid dereference later.

Re: [ World of Warcraft ] The 1.8 Patch brings the target ( or targeting ) problem back

It seems Warcraft relies upon NULL-addressed VirtualAlloc starting allocation from above a certain range - possibly they're pulling some silly bit-twiddling hack or optimisation. The Cedega patch linked to on the forums basically hints to mmap that it should allocate at a fixed address in this case: http://lists.transgaming.org/pipermail/winex-devel/2004-May/000259.html Which for WoW they seem to set this hint to 256mb - is there some aspect of the NT kernel we're not correctly implementing here? Does Windows always allocate from 256mb upwards? Alexandre, Mike - does hinting to mmap in the port library as TransGaming do it seem like a good solution here or would it be better to adapt the preloader to block off the lowest $X megs? thanks -mike

New themes question
by Matevz Jekovec 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Now that Wine supports different theme packs for Windows, would it be possible to render Windows widgets using the native current desktop KDE/Gnome theme? Also other stuff like font size, name and colors for Windows widgets, could they all be unified? That would *really* be something:). Big thanks to all developers, that drove Wine so far and best wishes for the future! - Matevž

Don't send patches in gz - only plain text is accepted here. ;) 2. This is not a good time for this changes (code freeze is still in affect). Find some bugs in bugzilla to fix <g> Vitaliy.

NSIS problem?
by Mike Hearn 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi, It seems that NSIS installers have regressed in Wine 0.9 - at least, the PE Explorer setup which looks and feels like an NSIS based installer won't install with a "The folder name is invalid" error message. I poked at this a bit but got nowhere. Can anybody confirm/deny it's a problem with all NSIS installrers? If the problem is just with PE Explorer then we can leave it, otherwise I think we should try and figure it out before 0.9 - NSIS is a very popular installer these days and not running it for 0.9 would be a disaster. thanks -mike

We at Muse Research depend on your work for our business and are greatly appreciative. Major congratulations on getting to the code freeze, by the way. Thanks to you all. Sure there are bugs to fix and maybe you have to fix them yourself or pay someone to do it. The alternative for "John" is clear: buy MS Windows. It works pretty well. - mo

The proper solution is to get this particular bug fixed one way or another. Frank Richter proposed a patch, but it hasn't been committed. We shouldn't document using native dlls though. -- James Hawkins
