Possible a transparent Tab-Aerea in Folders ?

[ukoenig]

Hello,

using a Folder-Background-Color, the Tab-Area doesn't
look nice, because it is not transparent.



Is it possible, to make it transparent like shown ?

Dear Fraxzi,

Are you able to use ResEd with FWH without any problems. Till now I have not used any resource editors. I am planning to use a resource editor.

In this forum most are using Borland Resource Workshop (BRW) and most of the Sample .Rc files are made using BRW.

BRW looks very old. What's your openion about ResEd ?. I have also found another freeware ResEdit.

Dear Anser,

I abandoned BRW due to inability to handle 32bit bitmap... looks (old ). I am currently enjoying Resource Editor (ResEd 2.2) it has better interface... small foot-print too without issues with FWH811 (or FWH24)

I'm also using PellesC Resource Compiler for that too without any issue.


I hope you use and enjoy ResEd too. It's FREE.

Dear Fraxzi,

I need one more clarification

I'm also using PellesC Resource Compiler for that too without any issue.

I am using BCC 5.5 compiler, xHarbour which is bundled along with FWH

Do I have to use PellesC to use ResEd 2.2 with FWH ?

YES. brc32.exe (Borland's Resource Compiler) doesn't know how to handle 32bpp (alpha blended) images which I require to some apps I made.

You can use other Resource Compiler which can handle 32bpp image.

Dear Fraxzi,

Can I use other Resource Compiler along with BCC. I mean by just replacing the below given Line in my .rmk file to change the resource compiler to some other app and the rest without any change

Code: Select all  Expand view

MyApp.res : MyApp.rc
  $(BCDIR)\bin\brc32.exe -r WinAcs.rc

If so, what are the other options for the Resource Compiler.

I don't know whether I am asking a very stupid question.
Compile PRG's with Harbour/xHarbour,
Compiling C code with Borland C,
Compile Resource with another Resource Compiler,
Finaling Linking and build Exe using Borland C

Yes you can use other resource compiler along with BCC and replace your script.

Using Borlands BCC55 and PellesC Resource Compiler, I am using this on my xMate:

Code: Select all  Expand view

D:\PellesC\Bin\PORC.EXE  %RC%   /I D:\pellesc\include /I D:\pellesc\include\win

We all asked stupid questions... its a start of the coding session
I think your sequence is correct.

Dear Fraxzi,

Thankyou for clarifying my doubts

I assume that you are using Pelles C 32 bit version 5.00.1 ?

When I Googled, I found the following sites to download Pelles C

1) http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/
2) http://www.christian-heffner.de/

It's a Freeware

I am using the .rmk file distributed along with the FWH
\FWH\makes\bormake.zip and modified to use it with xHarbour

Now I will have to paly with the .rmk to include Pelles C as the resource compiler.

Hope it will be simple and work just replacing the line

Code: Select all  Expand view

MyApp.res : MyApp.rc
  $(BCDIR)\bin\brc32.exe -r MyApp.rc


with

Code: Select all  Expand view

rem D:\PellesC\Bin\PORC.EXE  MyApp.Rc   /I D:\pellesc\include /I D:\pellesc\include\win

PCDIR=c:\PellesC

MyApp.res : MyApp.rc
  $(PCDIR)\bin\PORC.EXE MyApp.Rc /I $(PCDIR)\include /I $(PCDIR)\include\win
