inverted low contrast icons on toolbars etc

[niun]

I want to use an old program (Eagle 4.16r2) with wine-1.4.1 on Kubuntu 13.10 Linux.

Everything is working except the icon graphics. All Icons on toolbars, treeviews and even the window icon are inverted and low-contrast grey. It looks like the transparent background got light grey and the colors got all transparent.

I tried to run the Program in Windows 95 mode and with an emulated screen but nothing helps.

The only error messages wine is giving are

Code: Select all

fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (0x20036, 0x1f3518): stub
fixme:imm:NotifyIME IMC_SETCANDIDATEPOS

Do you have any ideas, how to fix the icon graphics?

I presume you are talking about this Eagle PCB Software ? I can see why you haven't upgraded to a newer/Linux version with those prices!!

Have you tested the application in the latest development release of Wine (1.7.15)? Use the Ubuntu Wine PPA to get this.
Are you using a 32-bit Wineprefix (if you are using the 64-bit version of Kubuntu)?
When you say emulated screen I presume you mean Emulate a Virtual Desktop??
Have you tried running the application with KDE Desktop effects disabled?

You could also try contacting the App maintainer Blallo on the Eagle AppDB - although he appears to be asleep on the job!!

Post back here with some updates!!
Thanks

Cool, thank you for your quick response. It is working with the current stable wine version 1.6.1! Maybe it fixed some graphics device driver problems? But it is working and that is all what matters

I installed wine 1.6.1 it with these commands:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.6

@niun,

That's good to hear.

But, just so you are aware the 1.4 branch of Wine is not actually supported anymore. In fact earlier versions of Wine should only be used in desperation - really (e.g. bad regressions)!! In addition a few applications will only run on the development branch 1.7.x.
