Trying to resync macosxfondu cws from m137 to m152 :
After 1 conflict solved (I'm lucky, only one !) , it's time to use the magic command "cwsresync -l m152 " , who will save us :-)
3~4 hours later ... ......

Arghhh...only 6 modules were remaining for resync... And I just checked xmerge without do anything else in that module (don't know exactly what is it's role). What's wrong ? Bad checkout ? Ordinateur-de-eric:/Volumes/extension1/OpenOffice.org ericb$ rm -rf xmerge
What else ? Ordinateur-de-eric:/Volumes/extension1/OpenOffice.org ericb$ cvs -z4 co -r SRC680_m152 xmerge

Hmm... I hope finish that work today ...
Do you recognize it ?**
After some tests, Mox proposed me to test 0xF4 0xF4 0xF4 for the grey. Thank's Mox ! Later, I have choosen 0x1C 0x65 0xC8 for the blue. These colors are perfect for me.
Thank's to
The GimpJust a
screenshotWork in progress :-)
**this is OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X, using X11. Just 2 colors are modified :-)
Goodbye awfull grey !!
Some times ago, we discussed Kendy and me, about the awfull colors used by "original" OpenOffice.org. The fact is, the Mac users hate the awfull default-grey coming with OpenOffice.org (what I perfectly understand), and I sometimes wonder who invented such ...colors :-)
Because it's a long time request, and simple to modify the corresponding code, I had the idea to test.
The result is a (Mac Intel) build using a random (not completely ;-) ) color, like
this oneOk, I forgot to modify the pretty "blue" in the menus, but that's a begining ;-)
Why is it important ? Simple : no need to install anything else, this is just a one-line modification in the code !Of course, this is just a try, but as you can see, it's maybe a good idea to propose funny colors for our Mac OS X builds ? Propose your colors !!
FYI : the one I proposed "as first test" uses 0xE0 0xFF 0xC0 hexadecimal strings, and you can invent yourself using The Gimp, for example.
More seriously, what Kendy told me was about " integrator ", to make custom changes on the fly. And IMHO, it should be possible to implement a tool for user customization.
Not sure this is correct there, instead of define colors using macros, I was thinking to a method using "accessors" : two pointers, one for read the color (used by application), and one for write the new one without conflict.
To be continued...
Proposition for Improve visibility of Mac OS X porting project
Since some time, the Mac OS X porting project is growing quite quickly, and we now need to take care of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X visibility.

2006 February 1st-3rd :
Solution Linux in Paris : Apple invited me to present the Mactel version.
It works ! Even if the work is not finished (a lot remains to do), OpenOffice.org works on Mactel machines (Intel processors + Mac OS X) since yesterday 13 january 2006. Remember, the first launch of OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X was announced the 17th january 2005.
After the last fixes in bridges, I was very surprised to proceed a complete build (without hack registration). For the Fun, you can see a little
About. Install goes smoothly, and OpenOffice.org starts without any problem. Don't know why two archs are given, because this is Intel x86 only. Remember : this is
work in progressWizards and Base works : means Java works !
Just found two problems : use Fontoo, Dicoo, or sound leads to instant crashes, probably caused by bad internal exception handling. In fact, the build is fixed since a long time. What was very difficult, was the bridge. The bridges is the heart of OpenOffice.org, because doing the interface between Java, C++ and UNO. The port started in October 2005. Of course, I was not alone to do the work :
Special thanks to Daniel Boelzle, Stephan Bergmann and Florian Heckl for their work ! Waiting Florian and me resync our sources and build last available milestone (currently m150), the lucky people using a Mactel can download french or english US builds (using m137) for tests :
