But how have you changed the order of the entries? I see it in your screenshot.

 

 

 


Hi @miliuco

I think @blackosx upload a mock-up of his theme. Which explains why the icons are not in the right order.

I've generated a variation of the previous theme, this time named BsxDarkSpace1_

 

image.thumb.jpeg.0c9faa57f492334ba013fea5a083d7d4.jpeg

 

The .zip includes 12 different background files (each for a different resolution) and the required icns files for OpenCore/OpenCanopy v0.6.8. There are also extra icns for Linux installs if the user wishes to use them. 

 

Available at: https://github.com/blackosx/BsxDarkSpace1_

Yes, as @Matgen84 mentioned, it's a mockup and not actually a screenshot.

It's also a very nice theme but I like BsxDark1_ more than this one.

Thanks for your honest feedback. It's always good to hear :)

Yeah, I like the black one but I'll be experimenting with different styles so not everything will be liked by all.

 

I've spotted a couple of things I wish to change in BsxDarkSpace1_ so I'll update it maybe tomorrow if I get time. I'll also look at hosting the themes in a repo to make it easier to amend any of the images if I need to.

Just a quick heads up for theme creators. Download-Fritz has applied some new changes, fixes and additions to OpenCanopy. See recent commits and new .icns files in OcBinaryData.

Thanks blackosx for pointing this out. Two questions:

 

1. With "new .icns files in OcBinaryData", do you mean the release branch at https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/tree/master/Resources/Image?

 

2. Which of your sets is compatible with the latest OpenCanopy?

 

With the most recent OpenCanopy.efi, OC first defaulted back to verbose menu here. I solved that by replacing my Resources/Image folder with the one from the link I posted above.

Hey BuXb

 

Everything here is planned to be up to date for when 0.6.8 is released.


For ref:

New mandatory icons for 0.6.8 are:

- Restart, Shutdown, BtnFocus, Dot, Entry, Lock, Password and SetDefault.

 

1. Yes

 

2. I have a current WIP theme available here:

https://github.com/blackosx/BsxOc1_

And also some simpler, cleaner themes based on the above but with different icon colours.

These are still work in progress and may change in the next few days.

partially solved, see my edited posting above. But with the new OpenCanopy.efi, the bottom of your custom framd font is cut off here now:

OC's default font displays fine, but is too small. Any idea?

 

[EDIT] oh, cross-posting, LOL, thanks for your super-fast reply -  your speed is top-notch B)

 

Which biggest font as possible do you suggest for OpenCanopy 0.6.8?

Download-Fritz has made many changes to OpenCanopy and this upcoming release is amazing (Thanks DF).

 

Thanks for letting me know font framd is not working correctly. I will look into the issue with this and other fonts when I get time but I recommend using the font from OCBinaryData.
 

That original OCBinaryData font (Helvetica) is also best to use as that’s the font the disk labels use as generated by the disklabel app. See here

 

Edited by blackosx

I totally understand, though it’s a shame to not be able to run the latest and greatest due to the font size. We may be able to edit the current fatter framd font file in due course.

 

Moving forward, maybe DF would consider allowing flexibility in the font size in the future? 

Ah, he's a member here, great to know B)! @Download-Fritz, with the new OpenCanopy.efi, the bottom of blackosx's custom framd font

 

framd.zip is suddenly cut off, see here:


02213911.jpg.ccdd156505e63ee9986879661f3adc55.jpg

 

OC's default font displays fine, but is too small. Back to current release OpenCanopy.efi and the framd  is displayed again correctly. Any idea?

 

Moving forward, would you consider allowing flexibility in the font size in the future?

miliuco, I fail to create a monaco font with blackOSX' ocFontFileGenerator, even from a monaco.ttf. Could you zip and attach your monaco font folder here?

Best way is acidanthera bug tracker as @blackosx says, yo must have a GitHub account and then you can comment there following the guidelines. Tray. They look carefully at all of our comments.

 

I think @Download-Fritz is called mhaeuser in GitHub (Marvin Häuser).

 

I have multiple folders out of order and can't find the Monaco font from @blackosx. It may be this that I attach but I'm not sure.

In any case, among the changes that OpenCore 0.6.8 is going to make there are several related to labels and I have verified that the only labels that are seen correctly, at least on my system and with last builds, are those that take the current Fonts and Labels folders of OpenCore developers.

For example, recent changes in 0.6.8 and OpenCanopy: Reset label scrolling when TAB focus changes / Add shadow to boot entry label scrolling / Draw label text at (2,2) to match Apple bless / Never X-offset the first letter of a label / Remove deprecated label truncation code / Fix boot label scroll for UIScale 2 / Add boot entry label scrolling. They are a lot.

thanks @miliuco for all the info!

 

Does the font you attached look fine on your rig with the latest OpenCanopy.efi, and if so, is it better readable than the stock Helvetica?

Nope. With latest commit, only BinaryData from OC developers.

 

EDIT: I mean fonts and labels. Some icon themes from @blackosx and @chris1111 work well with latest builds.

Comparison:

 

OC default Helvetica via most recent dev OpenCanopy:

helvetica.thumb.jpg.ce38eb888b61da350761d00689b67b40.jpg

 

blackosx framd via current release OpenCanopy:

framd.thumb.jpg.1b144d8da9afefe2e3c72136f1e9e527.jpg

 

Still by far not the quality of Clover UI fonts, but at least readable (framd) vs. squint (Helvetica)..

I recommend to update or redraw ModernSelector.icns according to the modern Intel real Macs.

Images in OcBinaryData extracted from firmware (Old, Pre modern and Modern) Intel real Macs. 

Intel ModernSelector it not "Сontinue". And Selector also сhanges to SetDefault when is pressed Ctrl. And flickers when the timer works.

Look at the Apple Picker on modern Intel real Mac.

@blackosx That your font worked was a bug with the clipping code, I noticed when cursor movement caused artifacts one day. Flexible font size is on TODO. It was not before due to missing label scrolling.

I had hoped we'd be that far by now.

You can obviously feel free to PR.

@blackosx

I hadn't paid enough attention to your BsxDarkFence themes. They are very pretty. They work fine with the latest build (ac669c1, available now). I like them a lot, especially BsxDarkFenceLight.

 

Excellent work!!! :thumbsup_anim:
