Oops, this wasn't meant to be posted in a new thread, but in response to whitesaint's graphics program thread... So why don't we make this an MacGIMP thread then... eh?

I actually bought the MacGIMP CD (www.macgimp.com), mainly just for checking it out and getting the X-Windows server since I already got PS. It was extremly easy to install, just double click the installation package. On my iBook 2.0 (256 Mb RAM) it runs just fine. Unfortunately sometimes the...

Rharder, Where did you get your yellow box? I have looked all over Apple's pages, googled all over the web... Just can't find any info.

... Basically I would prefer is to write the whole application in Objective-C, and then port it to Windows. Have anyone done this? How much work is it? Can I use any of my Cocoa/Objective-C code in windows? Perhaps I should stick to Java, and write navtive links (in Win) for things I cannot do...

Unfortunately going 100% pure Java is not an option, since the application will be rather graphic intensive. Also I think the Java swing for Mac OS X, feels very slow and buggy (especially with the Aqua theme), and it is probably impossible to get a Java application to comply with Aqua GUI...

Hi, I am looking into starting up a pretty big development project, featuring many custom GUI components. It will need to be cross-platform Mac OS X and Windows. Obviously I would like to share as much of the code as possible. Whatever happened to Yellow box, were we not supposed to be...

My OS X worked nice until yesterday, when the mouse suddenly started to freeze. It will start working again for a few minutes if plug it in and out. The keyboard still works, most of the time. All works nicely in OS 9. I have an iMac DV SE, no extra USB devices plugged in. Any ideas how to...

I am looking into buying CD burner. Is it at all possible to burn CDs with Mac OS X? Is there a preferred choise of burner to get compatible with OS X? iTunes only burn music CDs, right?

Rharder, Thanks for the tip, JNI might be the way to go. I had kind of hoped that Apple had made it simple for us, just select the objects in Interface Builder and click connect or something. Well I'll have a go with JNI. By the way, interesting to hear about the speed test Java vs C++...

This is the story. I written a Java applet game which I have ported to Cocoa. (Check out http://www.multris.com/macosx/). In this case using Objective-C is not an option since I then would have to re-write the whole lot. But, as far as I can tell there is functionality accessable from...

Check out the Mac OS X version of our multi player network game Multris! http://www.multris.com/macosx/. Since Java applets basically work like crap in OS X, we did a quick Cocoa port. One of the nice features in OS X is the Java Cocoa, too bad is so poorly documented. Anyways... enjoy...

Vihung, Actually Explorer uses the native Java, but somehow it feels like the link between Java and the browser could be a lot better... The actual Java core processing power seems to be very good, but some methods in the Java API is *really* slow. For instance creating images from byte...

I installed the dev tools immediately on my iMac. The GUI still feels really slow. Especially the menus... I would happily have opaque menus, if that meant they would be faster! Personally I think, slow resize of windows I can live with, because I don't resize too often. But the menus...

rharder, How did you figure out how to set that system property? Is it not possible to set clicks to click through? Now my Forte installation does not start up at all... just quits after loading, perhaps I should install it again :(, and then I might work for another day or two.

I mainly bought OS X because as a Java developer it would be much nicer being able to use the command line for compiling and running Java programs rather than using the quirky interface in 9.1. And I guess the Java was supposed to be really good. Unfortunately Java applets hardly run, some...

I have just installed X on my iMac with plenty of RAM. I was very excited about the supposedly improved Java support. But when I launched Explorer surfed to my site http://www.multris.com/ (which runs really nicely in 9.1) it was slow, slow, slow. I tried the Applet Launcher instead with the...
