since OpenOffice.org edition two.0.1 OpenOffice runs on Vista. This page describes some concerns to assistance new options of Vista in OpenOffice.org.
Preparations for Windows Vista Search and Organization Document meta data is furnished to your strategy open: Provide extra meta information (

all three function call for at least Windows SDK v6.0, which also necessitates a minimum of the 2005 Compiler. To utilize the compiler coming together with the SDK we need to exchange the usage of your ATL header.

a lot of things comes with the Windows Logo Programs
Functions with Windows Vista Specification Certified for Windows Vista Check Specification Other Stuff Support for Default Plans (application to file form association) Utilization of new typical file open dialog ( Provide Stay Icons in Paperwork ( The default size for making these kinds of reside icons was modified from 128x128 pixel up to 256x256 pixel.
This works good for Windows Vista and Windows XP. As a result of these icons are utilized also on other platforms (and we usually do not want to have far more then one particular icon inside identical file) we now have to test Windows 98, KDE, Gnome also. E.g. FreeDesktop.Org suggest employing of 128x128 as pixel size ... but first of all check showed that there isnt a authentic concern applying other resolutions. Even more tests are planned.
Update: The specification for thumbnails on FreeDesktop.org ( seems to be non-full-negotiable to OOo. 1st this specification is in position draft ... 2nd it adress thumbnails accessible on the file program ("... This is the .thumbnails directory located inside end users house. ...") But here we're talking about an picture representation retrieved in the file itself displaying the subject material on the file. That is somewhat various. More it's not confident if specifications of FreeDesktop.org is often utilized to OOo normally. OOo is obtainable on Linux - yes. But it really is also attainable for other platforms (Windows, Solaris etcpp). Can FreeDesktop.org realy deal with that ? Seams that the specification for OOo Thumbnails ( must be transformed to make it a lot more clear. Protection Digitally signing of all executables and DLL's Vista 64Bit 64Bit Java is not detected properly. Functions which necessitate Java, don't work along with the 64Bit Java. Shell extensions for Vista 64 Bit must be also compiled as 64 Bit components.
It really is no trouble to run a 32 bit compiled executable on a 64 bit Vista machine. But that is not true for shell extensions which are commenced within the context in the windows explorer. For the reason that the explorer by itself is compiled as 64 bit component it involves that all put to use libraries (at the least a shell extension will be this sort of library) must be 64 bit ready also. Analyzing the code we found out, that there is certainly only a small dependency back for the set of office libraries. (zip, stlport). So it seams not be a big difficulty to possess 64 bit shell extensions combined with a 32 bit office.
That is are the results of searching a suitable 64bit compiler for windows: Only the newest Visual Studio 2005 is ready to compile C++ 64bit code. More only versions >= Visual Studio 2005 Conventional will assistance that. see also "". The newest compiler supported by the StarOffice/OpenOffice build environment is Visual Studio 2003. So compiling 64bit components involve a switch to your new compiler (a minimum of partially). Visual style additions
Windows Vista adds some visual styles (that OOo doesn't use) for menus, editable/uneditable combo boxes, scroll bars, and text boxes. OOo also does not use visual styles for the standing bar, both on XP and Vista,
Office 2010 Generator Key, and does not furnish a native look on Windows Classic.
Menus: Previously a background colour, border style,

Windows 7 Ultimate Serial, separator image,
Office Ultimate 2007 Activation, and selection picture. Combo boxes: Previously precisely the same style (and one image) for both editable and uneditable combos, now uneditable combos look like menu buttons and editable ones look like text boxes,
Office Pro 2007 Key, with the dropdown button being glyph only unless the mouse is hovered over it Text boxes: Previously a border style, now a border picture Scroll bars: Previously hot and cold images for each button and thumb. In Vista, a new "mouse over scroll bar but not over specific button" state exists for buttons but not thumbs. Position bar: A background image and separator picture is provided but not put into use by OOo.
