Cubic Reality Software

Notes (week 4)

I’ve been fine tuning Windows and other software. There was some issues with the programming environment which took 2 days to solve but everything is up and running now. I’ve separated this computer’s usage into two separate profiles, work and play. The work profile is clean and has no disruptions or time eaters. The play profile is where I switch when I’m not working.

I’ve been using the same old Classic Windows theme with plum color scheme from Windows 95 days and it started to get a bit boring. So I tried several themes and found one (OpusOS) that looks good and clear. Unfortunately it has some issues with the BDS 2006 (the programming environment), like too bright and gray color for controls. I’m a bit dyslexic so the colors have to be just right for my brains to understand what’s on the screen. Until I can sort those issues, I’m going to use that theme only in the play profile.

Anyway, CubicExplorer development is moving forward again. I’ve started to implement the new settings engine. I don’t yet know when it will be ready since it’s quite a mess right now, but the goal is to ship 0.90 by the end of February.
