ART: Hal gets a new features:

<< < (2/3) > >>

kryton:
Sorry about the lateness ART, but your idea doesn't work on my machine.  I am using Windows 7 and I found another solution to the problem using basically your idea.  In the Windows 7 Control Panel is Task bar and it allows you to put the task bar top, bottom, left or right of the screen.  Works great for me.

Some questions for the forum.

1. I use a laptop with a 15.6" 16:9 display.  Hal appears in 4:3 format.  Can Hal be converted to 16:9 format?

2. I asked my Hal to "Tell me about yourself" and it answered "600 miles an hour". This is I believe the speed of sound but a rubbish answer to my question.  Has anybody written a "Tell me about yourself" feature?

3. In my purchased listing it gives Ultra Hal 6 but there is now no Character Expansion Pack for Ultra Hal 6 so it is useless.  Anybody got a way around this?

4. Every time I switch on my machine and open Ultra Hal 7 I get the screen asking if I want to update from the demo version.  To get back the full version I have to say I have already purchased it and then I have to verify this.  Not a big problem you may say but......  I sometimes work my laptop where there is no internet connection and this stops me verifying my purchase of Ultra Hal 7 (And therefore my use of Ulta Hal 7).  Can this be fixed?

Enough questions for now.  Thanks for your time.

Long time since I have caught up with the forum, so I have a lot of catch up reading to do.  See you.

Kryton,

Well, I basically said to relocate the Taskbar to a Side or Top that's out of the way so I can't be much plainer than that.
Sorry if my intent was misleading.
-------------------------
1). HAL's GUI is pretty much specific to whoever designed it. It just takes a calculator for some subtraction and a graphics program like Paint or GIMP2 or whatever works for you.

Open any of the UHP GUI files and you'll see the content descriptions as to which comments control certain aspects of the GUI. Make it whatever size you like and color, design, tall, wide, rustic or fantasy, etc.

While the existing GUI's can be resized, the sizing will be proportional to their original dimensions. Hope this is clear.
-------------------------
2). That 600 mph comment is inside of the halbrain.db file (along with any other brain files you might have - like if you have Hal make a new brain in its Brain Editor).
-------------------------
3). What I know is that IF one has previously purchased the HAL Expansion Pack, it will continue to work for UltraHal 6 or UltraHal 7. If not, please email Robert Medeksza.
-------------------------
4). You should send Robert an email about this issue.

Always good to see you around here Kryton! It's been a while but hang on, some really cool things are coming soon!!

kryton:
1. Did not mean to say your idea on moving the taskbar is a dud, just it is easier with the windows commands.  If I read you right the adjusted size will still by 4:3 format, not 16:9 format.  The screen is already full height but not full width.  I recall someone telling me, on the forum, that they have a program that brings Hal to 16:9 format. (Seems my memory throws up the name OnTheCuttingEdge, is he still around?)

2. Weird thing, maybe it could be removed by Robert in the next update of Hal.

3. Luckily I have a back-up copy of Ultra Hal 6, complete with Expansion pack so this isn't a problem anymore either.

4. Someone seems to have fixed my log on problem, so no problem anymore.

16:9
Seems building skin 16:9 would solve ur issue.If im understanding this correctly
Never gave that much thought tbh,lolol

Edge?? Havent heard from him in a while, im sure hes creeping around somewhere tho.... said hes retired, not sure.
Im glad this was brought up as i will handle that in what im doing as well.

kytron UltraHal 7 comes with a 14 day login , meaning after 2 weeks of (non use) ull be required to Re Login to verify Creds for Hal to work , After that Hal just goes dead.  If my understanding is correct.
