GUI display problem

you can see a lot of words didn't show completely.

Like Label(show as able), Script(show as cript)

OS: Windows XP SP3

Odd..though it MAY be a combination of the Chinese language pack -and- your usage of the Classic appearance.

There are a bunch of topics floating around the Google Chrome help forums saying that things like radio buttons and checkboxes disappear in Chrome when users have the Classic appearance enabled and are on XP SP3.

May try using an XP appearance (with a reboot), and see if that helps. Although Nick'll probably come back with a better solution ;).

Edit: Actually what it LOOKS like is the Roman character set in your language pack is overflowing the programmed bounds of the caption box next to the inputs. I know in VB, when setting up the GUI portion of any program, the dimensions of these can be easily changed and the text within is usually expected to remain below a certain pixel width.

Daniel P is right, the messages are not fitting into the fixed-space boxes in the resources DLL.

The quick fix is to change your "system" font so that they do, if possible.

The better change (since you seem to speak Chinese or similar) is to make an improved resource DLL.

There is a lot of detail here:

The important point is that the resources are all in the file en.dll (shipped with MUSHclient) and that this file changes contents extremely rarely (by design).

To support another language you can make a copy of it (eg. as cn.dll for Chinese) and then edit that. Once edited change the "Locale Code" in the File -> Global Preferences -> General to be "CN". Then restart MUSHclient.

Since this file will not be in the download it will persist over new versions of MUSHclient.

To edit the file either get some "binary" resource editor and directly edit cn.dll or get the source of the resource file and edit that and recompile it.

To recompile you can probably use the resource editor which ships as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio "Lite" which is free (although I haven't tried that). Otherwise grab a copy of Visual Studio 6 from somewhere (which is what I use).

The source of the current resource file is here:

The main advantage of doing this is you can change all the wording to be in Chinese rather than English (eg. configuration screen, dialogs, menus).

If you are keen you can also edit en.lua (and make it into cn.lua) which is all the internal error and information messages and change those as well, as described in the web post above.
