    Pandora Desktop Environment Prototype Try 2 (screenshots And Videos)

    Why is resolution in .xsession set to 740x450? Isn't the Pandora's resolution 800x480? Also, xrandr fails to work on my installation of VMware; what did you do to make it work? Alternatively, what are the steps to make it work with Xephyr? Xephyr looks like this to me: Whereas VMware's X...

    I just wanted to say that I'll probably use your loader for Z-Machine games. Here's a Mac app that works similar to yours (but only for IF, and only the top two pictures are relevant): http://ccxvii.net/spatterlight/screens.html and here's a page that might prove helpful if you want to support...

    Let's visualize the scenario javaJake is suggesting. In the remove-invalid-results situation, typing 'mario' might show you: Mario Party Mario Party 2 Super Mario Brothers Super Mario 64 In the gray-out-invalid-results situation, you might instead see: Mario Party Mario Party 2 Megaman...

    Beta Patari

    I can't test it, but I'd like to add that it would be nice for it to work with the upcoming Pandora Emulator Frontend, which probably means that if settings have to be changed to play different games properly, those settings should be accessible from the command line.

    Generic Portable Games.

    lbreakout2 is pretty good; but I know I'll be playing some brick games in emulation, such as Krypton Egg.

    Problem is, there's no title bar for the file manager.

    About the folders: wouldn't they look better without the Pandora icon? On most OSes, only special folders have icons on them. Would it look good for every plain folder on a PC to have a Windows, Mac, Linux, Ubuntu, etc. logo? Also, would Xnest work instead of a VM for testing Matchbox? I...

    What's the point of a search that doesn't narrow your results? If you have several hundred games and want to narrow to only your Sonic titles, graying out the other titles would not be enough to show you all your sonic titles easily. Compare this to Spotlight or Tracker or Vista's equivalent...

    Skins may not be important, but interface layout is. Ultimately it's up to the developers to decide how it looks, but I hope my suggestions help in some way.

    Earlier you suggested the button assignment: QUOTE Bottom Action Button (X): Select game (pull up sidebar) Does this refer to the sidebar that's always on the left, or a different sidebar? What do you mean "list out the cats", and why would holding both shoulders be better than assigning it a...

    Does Ångström have these distributions, or is it up to the dev team to enable them in the image that's going on the Pandoras? If the latter, does the team plan to use any of these strategies?
