Comments on: UpcomingBirthdays doesn’t like Leopard http://wubbahed.com/2007/12/03/102/ Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:02:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dani http://wubbahed.com/2007/12/03/102/comment-page-1/#comment-1779 Dani Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:54:26 +0000 http://wubbahed.com/2007/12/03/102/#comment-1779 I figured out why it's not working for many in SL: It's not 64 bit compilant. it works perfectly on my old CoreDuo 32 Bit MBP with SL but fails on the new i7. If you set Dashboard to start in 32 bit mode, it works correctly. So i think the only things to do would be to recompile it for 64 bit (better universal) and implement the JS corrections i mentioned above. Then it should work with Snow Leo on 64 bit machines as well.

Since i switched to Leopard, i also have the described scaling problem. It seems that in 10.5, the overlay elements are scaled proportionally, even if just the width OR height is changed (don't ask me why???). if you also set the other dimension to its fixed value, the problem seems to be solved: Lines 442ff in upcomingBirthdays.js: tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_top'); tempRef.width = deltaX - 25; tempRef.height = 33; //ADDED tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_bottom'); tempRef.width = deltaX - 25; tempRef.height = 11; //ADDED tempRef.style.top = deltaY - 11; tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_bottom_left'); tempRef.style.top = deltaY - 11; tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_bottom_right'); tempRef.style.top = deltaY - 11; tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_left'); tempRef.height = deltaY - 44; tempRef.width = 11; //ADDED tempRef = document.getElementById('overlay_right'); tempRef.height = deltaY - 44; tempRef.width = 14; //ADDED tempRef.style.left = deltaX - 14; I tested it in 10.4 and 10.5 Cheers Dani Upcoming Birthday is great, i’m using it every day! Since i switched to Leopard, i also have the described scaling problem. It seems that in 10.5, the overlay elements are scaled proportionally, even if just the width OR height is changed (don’t ask me why???). if you also set the other dimension to its fixed value, the problem seems to be solved:

Lines 442ff in upcomingBirthdays.js:

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_top’);
tempRef.width = deltaX – 25;
tempRef.height = 33; //ADDED

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_bottom’);
tempRef.width = deltaX – 25;
tempRef.height = 11; //ADDED
tempRef.style.top = deltaY – 11;

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_bottom_left’);
tempRef.style.top = deltaY – 11;

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_bottom_right’);
tempRef.style.top = deltaY – 11;

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_left’);
tempRef.height = deltaY – 44;
tempRef.width = 11; //ADDED

tempRef = document.getElementById(‘overlay_right’);
tempRef.height = deltaY – 44;
tempRef.width = 14; //ADDED
tempRef.style.left = deltaX – 14;

I tested it in 10.4 and 10.5

Cheers Dani
