Hello, I’ve just noticed that the Haiku drive icon on the desktop has a red ladybird underneath it… I could swear that it used to be a Maple leaf.
Does that mean my drive has a bug or a problem I need to worry about?
Currently using Nightly Master repositories.
Haiku has been rock solid apart from the very occasional lack of networking on boot that happens once every couple of weeks. So it’s not like I’m experiencing any “bugs” as of late.
just a little curious.
Thank you.
– edit just checked my other machines. also red bugs (but then I used the same cloned USB drive to install…) Currently running Haiku on a 4770K desktop, 3470T thinkcentre tiny, i3-8100T laptop.
Some thin clients Atom 330, Atom 230, Atom N230 (32bit)
First thing I noticed was that the dark scheme is starting to look quite good, thanks to nephele efforts. But yeah I’m also jealous of that 16 bars ProcessController.
Thank you. that makes sense. I am running on nightlies on all my machines. I’m glad it didnt mean that my partition had errors.
thanks for the feedback.
Not sure what dark theme is. I saw some talk about it a while back but couldnt find anything about it in the distro… So I just swap a few colours around until I get something that looks like a dark theme.
The “dark theme” deal is exactly what you described in the last sentence. Since (iirc) Beta 5, the color part of the “Appearance” preferences uses a simpler interface by default, where tweaking the main colors will automatically make extra adjustments to create a dark theme on the fly.
What’s also nice is that, if you want more control over what colors are chosen, you can still go back to a more detailed list of the colors used and tweak certain elements further.
Ah, I thought it was not part of main so I didn’t file any ticket.
In general I’ve noticed some slight degradation in the Flat ControlLook in the nightlies in the last few months, like some buttons and other UI elements rendering in a slightly different (imo worse) way.
I couldn’t point you exactly to what’s changed there atm, but a side-by-side comparison between Beta 5 and Nightly should make that apparent.
The one thing I’m sure about is the volume bar popup is broken, I’ve talked about it briefly in Ticket 19820
If I have the time I’ll try and make a ticket about it all.
I just checked the volume pop-up on today 64 bits nightly (hrev59162) with Flat Control look.
The problem is that db value indicators are using scroll bar thumb colour which is often near the panel background colour used for notification background. They probably should use panel text colour instead like they do in Haiku Control look.
