Re: keyboard switching and persistence

Why can it considered as wrong? At least in kbdswitch.exe/input.dll the call does exactly what is required. That it affects only the current thread/process is by design and the layout is not set for the entire system is by design. For example consider that you write, at the same time, a letter in ch...

Re: keyboard switching and persistence

To set the system wide keyboard layout, see SystemParametersInfo (with SPI_SETDEFAULTINPUTLANG as the desired action). As for the "current" thread/process, it is normally the thread/process that calls
the function in question (LoadKeyboardLayout in this case).

Re: how can we add modelines from xorg.conf on ReactOS?

How can we add these resolution on ReactOS as well? You should have a look at the sample monitor inf file from the Windows DDK and related documentation to get a clue how to archive what you want. Also it appears that the modeline features allows you to customize the display timings, while I'm not ...

I guess what MugenFighter want to say is that if you execute a batch file instead of the program, the console window gets the cmd icon instead of the ntvdm icon, so it may look like it
is not a DOS program but a program for Windows.

Re: My ReactOS Wishlist

Yes, it has. Probably because it is still missing some stuff. There implementation doesn't support rotating or horizontal flipping at the moment. Also they miss many buildin color formats. Sending requests to Wine for adding more formats to the buildin ones seems also not ideal to me. Since it is de...

Re: My ReactOS Wishlist

Sorry that I correct you, but both Wine as well as ReactOS have a WIC implementation and it works fine most of the time (Like on Vista+, Wine/ReactOS GDI+ is based on it).

Re: My ReactOS Wishlist

TrueVision Targa (.tga) is 30+ years old, yet still widely used and supported by all primary graphical viewer/editor applications. That is the difference between them. Targa is still used, MSP was never used and PCX is not relevant anymore except for legacy applications and maybe old games, like Bl...

Re: My ReactOS Wishlist

PCX and MSP support for compatibility. What is ootb? Of course for compatibility, but for compatibility with what? MSP is around 30 years old and afaik the only program that used it was Paint from Windows Versions before 3.0. PCX is also out of general use for more than a few years. windowscodecs.d...

Do you mean ootb support? So, why MSP? Even PCX seems more or less questionable for ootb support.

Re: Mouse speed!

From a hardware point of view, the mouse speed is affected mainly by the resolution, which defines how many points of movement the device reports per physical millimeter. The sampling rate says how many times per second the device issues interrupts, updates movement counters, reports data to the hos...

Re: Steam and ReactOS

Is this thought train right? There doesn't to be much info regarding hotpatching... or I ask DuckDuckGo wrong things :-) If a function is marked as hotpatchable, the compiler will generate a modified prolouge which contains some meaningless code. It consists of two parts, one that has the size of a...
