- Any 3rd party vis that attempts to switch to fullscreen in a resolution not equal to the current device resolution will result in a black screen (reference Problem ID 4736804). Note that G-Force 3.5.7 hardwires the fullscreen res in an attempt to work around this, so this problem is only easily r...

I found a Radeon 7000 for about $20, so I went ahead and got it. After applying PCI Extreme and making sure that Quartz Extreme was enabled, it really seemed to make the Mac OS X interface much snappier. However, it didn't seem to make a difference in G-Force. At some point if I come across a cheap ...

Now that G-Force 3.5 uses OpenGL acceleration, I would like to know what has a bigger impact on G-Force's performance, the CPU or the Video card? For both Mac and Windows PC's, what are some real-world specs to shoot for if one were trying to set up a dedicated computer for G-Force (trying to keep c...

Well, the logic was that the track text was unreadable for certain colormaps (ie, white on white). In any case, this thread's objections are very reasonable. I've added this new feature to our bugzilla database for a future release. For the time being, you have the option of turning off track text ...

Sounds like a way cool setup. Take a pic or two of the setup playing G-Force and post it here--I think most people would get a kick out of seeing it. Andy Well, it's been a while, but here are some pics and the details again: 266Mhz Beige G3, 512 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.9, G-Force 3.55 - yes, 3.5x "r...

It's really pretty easy to change the size of the Album Art and the Title Text. Open up your respective preference file and look for these parameters: ArtX ArtY TSze Look up what these and other variables mean at http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/Documentation/customizing.html Personally, on a 64...

I just got around to upgrading my G-Force. You ROCK!

Thanks!
Marcel

I just upgraded to G-Force Platinum 3.0 and noticed this hasn't been fixed yet. Any idea when this will be fixed or where it is on the priority list?

Thanks!
Marcel

FYI, in G-Force version 2.8.1 or later, this can now be controlled via the PREF_TRACK_TEXT_APPEARANCE (or TTAp) setting. I always want an overlay, so I set TTAp to 1.

Ok, cool. Like I mentioned, I know at least one 3rd party app can get the info from iTunes, Synergy (http://wincent.com/a/products/synergy-classic/), so I'm sure that the API is available somewhere, if not directly from Apple.

Thanks!

I've noticed that when using G-Force or Whitecap (I have Gold and SE) and playing an Internet radio station on iTunes (Mac OS X), the track text only shows the radio station, not the song playing or artist. The interesting thing is that it will show the radio station when each song changes (since au...

My first question is why can BBEdit only run under classic on your computer? I use BBEdit lite 6.1 on Mac OS X with no problems. Second, the issue most likely to cause any problem is how G-Force expects to read the text files. Classic Mac text apps usually save files in the "Mac" text format unless ...

Just installed latest G-Force Gold (2.7.3) and cover art problem is still there. I can also confirm that rather than just being a "256 color" problem, the color in the cover art (when the problem appears) "rotates" with the colors in the G-Force display itself. That is, the distorted colors in the ...

I really like both Whitecap and G-Force. I don't like having to switch plug-ins. Could a future release of G-Force incorporate all the Whitecap configs, or can that be done now?

Thanks!
Marcel

After doing some more poking around, I found the info I needed in the boot.txt file. The track text displays "nice" by my definition when it is an overlay. I find the text ugly when it is a sprite. What I could have done if I didn't have cover art, would have been to define somewhere to always use a...
