[udig-devel] uDig on Vista ... GDI just say no :-D

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have uDig working on vista now - great job with the installer.

A couple of gotcha's remain:
- having to let the help application open a port (requires administrator 
password)
- visualizing any WMS makes use of some GDI operating system calls - 
that forces vista into a "safe" mode where transparency is shut off

Here is the message:

The color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic
A running program isn't compatible with certaint visual elements of 
Windows. Click here for more information.


It may be that changing the JRE will clear this up; since the SWT code 
was doing just fine before the first map opened up.

Cheers,
Jody
