Changing the watermark?
I know there is a watermark on the bottom right corner that displays some system info. Any way I can change it? Thanks! Also I am building with Ninja.
Re: Changing the watermark?
The watermark on the bottom right is just meant for the devs (and testers) to quickly see which version of ReactOS they are running (it's not meant to be a full sysinfo stuff as I can see sometimes on linux desktops).
The watermark string is built by an internal function GetSystemVersionString() : https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/tru ... 75314#l249
and is painted on the desktop by an internal function IntPaintDesktop() : https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/tru ... 5314#l1183
(this is where the different choices of fonts to display it, are made) (note: both functions are inside win32k).
Its display (on the desktop) is controlled by two registry values, the ones described at http://winaero.com/blog/a-new-way-to-di ... r-desktop/
(note that even if the article uses Windows 8 as an example, the very same stuff works on ReactOS and on Windows XP / Windows Server 2003).
