Purelogic you seem to never have problems :p

Div I think its an iMac issue, same thing happened when the iMacs first came out, if there was 2 audio things playing at the same time there was distortion.

ok, I'd been using tiger for a few days now and it runs great on my iBook G4 12", the first complain I have for the moment is QT7... before I was able to go full screen with any video and it will run just fine, now if I try to go full screen the frame rate will drop and sometimes it will even crawl. :no:

then the world clock widget is not working for me... it just doesn't give me an option to accept any change (see the picture) . :pinch:

I still working my way around it but I don't think tiger is much of a change; spotlight, dashboard and the dictionary are useful for everyday tasks but thats about it... besides from a little performance increase I feel tiger as exiting as panther when it came out... :pinch:

try viewing the widget in safari, see if something is corrupt.. /Library/Widgets/ Control click World Clock, Show Package Contents... Find the WorldClock.html file and try clicking the i and see if the Done button is there If it isn't i'm sure someone will post the widget for you to download again

I would wait and see if 10.4.1 fixes the issue, I know somebody who had trouble with the iTunes widget and a reinstall didnt fix it.

what version of OS X tiger do you have? I would say re-intsall.

As of now, there is only one version of tiger unless you count beta versions.

That widget in particular is on the schedule for an update in 10.4.1 (a little birdie told me so).  Maybe that will fix it for you.

A little tip:

Quartz 2D Extreme is disabled by default. Enable it by installing the Devleoper Tools and then running Quartz Debug (Spotlight for it). Go to the Tools menu and choose 'Enable Quartz 2D Extreme'. It will be greyed out if your hardware doesn't support it.

Once it's enabled, quit and restart applications that you want to test out, and experience them in their 2D accelerated glory. Windows now actually resize easily, very impressive.

The Window List (Tools menu) runs in the background and shows accelerated windows in green (this is usually just the window you're working in). This way you can actually see when Quartz 2D Extreme is active. The Frame Meter also gives you an indication of how much CPU is being used to render the window. Resize Safari a bit and watch the CPU needle stay pretty much the same.. cool :)

Christ knows why this is disabled by default..

Spotlight for it.

I think you coined a new phrase there, akin to "google it".

As for why it was disabled, it can cause problems with drawing on some Carbon apps.

Hmm Spotlight doesn't search within .plist files :(

Is there a way to add things to spotlight to get it to search within or is it a limitation?

585894979[/snapback]

For some reason, plist files are now, by default, binary files in Tiger, so Spotlight doesn't search through them. There must've been a reason for the change though.

I don't see that much of a difference by enabling Quartz Extreme 2D. Still seems the same speed, and CPU usage is the same.

Yes, there is:

You can create an importer but it's not the sort that regular users can do. If you're not comfortable with writting your own then maybe somebody else will write one for you. Cocoa has some nice XML classes now so it's not too hard to load up plist files and strip the data out of them. Once the importer is written, the rest of us will be able to install it and use it on our own systems.

To be honest, I don't think there's going to be much of a deman for a .plist importer - 99% of the time the plists would just be cluttering up the search results. All the same,

Strange, what kind of machine are you running on? There is quite a noticeable difference for me in resizing, scrolling, etc.

Clean install Tiger.

Get your Panther restore DVD that has iLife '05 on it, pop it into your Mac Mini.

Install iLife '05, onto Tiger. It is the "Install bundled applications" or "install additional applications" icon, NOT the "install Panther" icon. :)

iLife does not come with Tiger. You can also upgrade to Tiger while keeping iLife (and Panther).

Dpes anyone's UI sounds just.... stop working? but like iTunes still plays and the noise when you change volume is there still?

This has happened to me once. I unchecked both options, rebooted, rechecked them and that fixed it. :ninja:

Happens to me often. When restarting Synergy, when applying a new guiKit in Shapeshifter, when I've done Spotlight searches, all sorts. I don't mind too much, its not like that sizzle noise is vital to my working of the OS.

They always come back after reboot too.

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
