The VideoLAN Forums

Hello!
I just tested arround with the Wallpaper mode and read a few guides, how to "configure" it. for example, that i dont have the vlc window anymore, that there is nothing in the taskbar. the icon should only be in the tasks [next to the clock].

i read alot about wxWidgets to configure a wallpaper.

in generell the wallpaper is working, but i cant set any settings for it.

can i active that wxWidgets menu somehow?
is there another method to give some settings to the "desktop view"?

my english isnt that perfect, i hope you can understand my question.

thanks for reading

ps: ofc i have vlc 1.0.0

There isn't wxWidgets anymore in VLC. It vanished with VLC 0.9.x. And there really isn't any settings for wallpaper mode (other than enable/disable it).

Why VLC don't use WxWidgets anymore? WxWidgets is cross platform, and has very nice UI.

Qt also. And Qt is less buggy.

Less buggy? that is relative, qt version of avidemux has more bugs than gtk version (both win32), amule and audacity are using wxwidgets and are rock-solid...
Some progs using wxwidgets:

* Amaya Web editor
* aMule
* Audacity
* BitTorrent
* Chandler
* CodeBlocks (Open Source C++ IDE)
* CodeLite
* DivFix++ (AVI Video repair and preview utility)
* FileZilla
* ionCube
* PTgui
* RapidSVN
* TortoiseCVS
* wxDownload Fast
* wxMaxima (A free computer algebra system (CAS))
* wxHexEditor (A hex editor that supports HUGE files and devices.)

And?
Sorry, I don't see your point here.

OK, you are the programmer, i you dont' want to use WxWidgets, don't do that.

And Avidemux bugs aren't related to GUI framework itself.
