since OpenOffice.org version two.0.1 OpenOffice runs on Vista. This page describes some complications to help new elements of Vista in OpenOffice.org.
Preparations for Windows Vista Search and Organization Document meta info is supplied to the procedure open: Provide increased meta information (
There is a alternative ... vista employs new interfaces to handle properties now. See for additional informations. The native FileOpen/Save dialogs are used to help virtual folders began: Enable full text search in ODF paperwork with the new desktop search (
all 3 aspect need to have at the least Windows SDK v6.0, which also involves no less than the 2005 Compiler. To make use of the compiler coming along with the SDK we have to exchange the usage from the ATL header.

a large amount of stuff comes with the Windows Logo Plans
Works with Windows Vista Specification Licensed for Windows Vista Check Specification Other Stuff Help for Default Plans (software to file variety association) Utilization of new ordinary file open dialog ( Present Stay Icons in Documents ( The default dimension for creating these kinds of stay icons was modified from 128x128 pixel up to 256x256 pixel.
This operates good for Windows Vista and Windows XP. Since those icons are utilized also on other platforms (and we really don't wish to have even more then a person icon inside of the exact same file) we now have to test Windows 98, KDE, Gnome also. E.g. FreeDesktop.Org propose using of 128x128 as pixel dimensions ... but first of all test showed that there isnt a true dilemma working with other resolutions. Further more assessments are planned.
Update: The specification for thumbnails on FreeDesktop.org ( appears to be non-full-negotiable to OOo. Earliest this specification is in standing draft ... second it adress thumbnails to choose from around the file process ("... This is actually the .thumbnails directory situated inside the users house. ...") But right here we are speaking about an picture representation retrieved from the file alone exhibiting the written content in the file. That is somewhat distinct. Further more it's not guaranteed if specifications of FreeDesktop.org may very well be applied to OOo on the whole. OOo is available on Linux - indeed. But it really is also on the market for other platforms (Windows,Office Home And Business, Solaris etcpp). Can FreeDesktop.org realy deal with that ? Seams that the specification for OOo Thumbnails ( must be modified to make it far more clear. Safety Digitally signing of all executables and DLL's Vista 64Bit 64Bit Java is not detected properly. Functions which call for Java, don't work along with the 64Bit Java. Shell extensions for Vista 64 Bit must be also compiled as 64 Bit components.
It can be no difficulty to run a 32 bit compiled executable on a 64 bit Vista machine. But that's not true for shell extensions which are started within the context of your windows explorer. Considering that the explorer by itself is compiled as 64 bit component it demands that all made use of libraries (a minimum of a shell extension will be this kind of library) must be 64 bit ready also. Analyzing the code we found out, that there exists only a small dependency back on the set of office libraries. (zip,Office Professional Plus, stlport). So it seams not be a big problem to get 64 bit shell extensions combined with a 32 bit office.
Which 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. Further only versions >= Visual Studio 2005 Ordinary will help that. see also "". The newest compiler supported by the StarOffice/OpenOffice build environment is Visual Studio 2003. So compiling 64bit components have to have a switch towards the new compiler (at the least partially). Visual style additions
Windows Vista adds some visual styles (that OOo doesn't use) for menus, editable/uneditable combo boxes, scroll bars,Office 2010 Discount, and text boxes. OOo also does not use visual styles for the position bar, both on XP and Vista, and does not provide a native look on Windows Classic.
Menus: Previously a background colour,Office Professional 2010 Key, border style, text colour, and border colour. In Vista, it is replaced by a background picture,Windows 7 64 Bit, separator image, and selection picture. Combo boxes: Previously the identical style (and 1 image) for both editable and uneditable combos, now uneditable combos look like menu buttons and editable ones look like text boxes, with the dropdown button being glyph only unless the mouse is hovered over it Text boxes: Previously a border style, now a border image 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 image is furnished but not put into use by OOo.
