Text distortions

Post by noon »

I installed wine from the ubuntu (8.10) repos on sunday (2009-01-25) and at first the menus were white text on white background. Then I followed fixes on the wine ubuntu page:

Replace the [Control Panel\\Colors] section with

Code: Select all

[Control Panel\\Colors] 1176981676
"ActiveBorder"="239 235 231"
"ActiveTitle"="203 133 61"
"AppWorkSpace"="198 198 191"
"Background"="93 77 52"
"ButtonAlternativeFace"="200 0 0"
"ButtonDkShadow"="85 85 82"
"ButtonFace"="239 235 231"
"ButtonHilight"="255 255 255"
"ButtonLight"="255 255 255"
"ButtonShadow"="198 198 191"
"ButtonText"="0 0 0"
"GradientActiveTitle"="239 235 231"
"GradientInactiveTitle"="239 235 231"
"GrayText"="198 198 191"
"Hilight"="246 200 129"
"HilightText"="0 0 0"
"InactiveBorder"="239 235 231"
"InactiveTitle"="239 235 231"
"InactiveTitleText"="255 255 255"
"InfoText"="0 0 0"
"InfoWindow"="255 255 166"
"Menu"="239 235 231"
"MenuBar"="239 235 231"
"MenuHilight"="246 200 129"
"MenuText"="0 0 0"
"Scrollbar"="239 235 231"
"TitleText"="255 255 255"
"Window"="255 255 255"
"WindowFrame"="0 0 0"
"WindowText"="0 0 0"
I don't understand why the menus are distorted. Is this common? I searched the faq and didn't see anything that applied to this particular issue.

Edit: Added text links to images, they were pointing to thumbnail for me.

AFAIK, you're the first person to mention it here.

Sorry, in my first reply I thought the problem you were referring to was the white text on white, which I hadn't heard of before. In the full-size image you've now linked to, I can see the distortion you're referring to. That's a known problem with the legacy nVidia driver. Search the forum--there's a thread with a link to a workaround.

Ah, great. Looking for it now. Found it here: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-3b18ce5 ... 12c4e3ef71
