two.five Other Stuff Status
since OpenOffice.org version two.0.one OpenOffice runs on Vista. This page describes some complications to help new features of Vista in OpenOffice.org.
Preparations for Windows Vista Search and Organization Document meta info is supplied for the technique open: Produce more meta data (
There exists a answer ... vista makes use of new interfaces to take care of properties now. See for additional informations. The native FileOpen/Save dialogs are utilized to assist virtual folders started out: Allow total text search in ODF paperwork with the new desktop search (
all three feature need to have at the least Windows SDK v6.0, which also needs no less than the 2005 Compiler. To use the compiler coming with all the SDK we have to exchange the utilization of your ATL header.
Protection Person Account Control (UAC) The set up and update is completely UAC informed and performs the correct elevation to an administrator account There are no acknowledged UAC challenges while in runtime Speech recognition Windows Logo Plan
a lot of things includes the Windows Logo Applications
Operates with Windows Vista Specification Licensed for Windows Vista Check Specification Other Things Assistance for Default Programs (application to file kind association) Use of new common file open dialog ( Supply Reside Icons in Paperwork ( The default size for generating such stay icons was changed from 128x128 pixel as much as 256x256 pixel.
This functions fine for Windows Vista and Windows XP. Due to the fact these icons are used also on other platforms (and we tend not to want to have extra then an individual icon inside of exactly the same file) we have now to test Windows 98,
Microsoft Office 2010 64 Bit, KDE, Gnome also. E.g. FreeDesktop.Org encourage using of 128x128 as pixel dimension ... but very first test showed that there isnt a actual predicament making use of other resolutions. Additionally checks are planned.
Update: The specification for thumbnails on FreeDesktop.org ( appears to be non-full-negotiable to OOo. Initially this specification is in standing draft ... 2nd it adress thumbnails accessible about the file technique ("... This is actually the .thumbnails directory situated inside the consumers residence. ...") But here we are chatting about an image representation retrieved from your file alone exhibiting the content material from the file. That's slightly various. Further more it's not positive if specifications of FreeDesktop.org are usually utilized to OOo generally. OOo is accessible on Linux - yes. But it is really also available for other platforms (Windows, Solaris etcpp). Can FreeDesktop.org realy offer with that ? Seams that the specification for OOo Thumbnails ( must be modified to make it far more clear. Security Digitally signing of all executables and DLL's Vista 64Bit 64Bit Java is not detected properly. Functions which need to have Java, don't work along with the 64Bit Java. Shell extensions for Vista 64 Bit must be also compiled as 64 Bit components.
It really is no situation to run a 32 bit compiled executable on a 64 bit Vista machine. But which is not true for shell extensions which are began within the context of your windows explorer. Due to the fact the explorer itself is compiled as 64 bit component it requires that all employed libraries (no less than a shell extension will be such library) must be 64 bit ready also. Analyzing the code we found out, that there exists only a small dependency back towards the set of office libraries. (zip, stlport). So it seams not be a big obstacle to have 64 bit shell extensions combined with a 32 bit office.
That is are the results of searching a suitable 64bit compiler for windows: Only the newest Visual Studio 2005 is ready to compile C++ 64bit code. Even more only versions >= Visual Studio 2005 Traditional will assist that. see also "". The newest compiler supported by the StarOffice/OpenOffice build environment is Visual Studio 2003. So compiling 64bit components require a switch on the new compiler (at least partially). Visual style additions
Windows Vista adds some visual styles (that OOo doesn't use) for menus, editable/uneditable combo boxes,
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Plus Activation, scroll bars, and text boxes. OOo also does not use visual styles for the standing bar,
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Key, both on XP and Vista, and does not furnish a native look on Windows Classic.
Menus: Previously a background colour,
Windows 7 Starter Serial Key, border style, text colour, and border colour. In Vista, that is replaced by a background picture, separator image,
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit, and selection image. Combo boxes: Previously precisely the same style (and 1 image) for both editable and uneditable combos, now uneditable combos look like menu buttons and editable ones look like text boxes, with the dropdown button being glyph only unless the mouse is hovered over it Text boxes: Previously a border style, now a border picture Scroll bars: Previously hot and cold images for each button and thumb. In Vista, a new "mouse over scroll bar but not over specific button" state exists for buttons but not thumbs. Position bar: A background picture and separator picture is offered but not chosen by OOo.
