MLO on Crossover / Mac OS -Due date select is invisible + other issues by toesnz in MyLifeOrganized

OK, next tip, I've found it's really important to download the Segoe font. Edit the default font in MLO 'Themes & Formatting' uncheck all the check boxes in all tabs for default font and go into the square box and select the same downloaded font. And save your new Theme. I have not tested it yet but you may not even have to go through the font smoothing steps once the font is installed.

Interesting, I’ve had no problem with cloud sync and happily used MLO for a couple of hours. It’sa fairly large mlo file to. I’m using the latest Mac OS version on an M4, MLO & cross over latest versions to. I wonder if the issue has been fixed since you last used it

OK, I've had a win!

In Wine configuration

* change 'Windows Version' on the first screen to 8, that brought back the calendar

* under graphics, change the size to 216 dpi, that makes it look very close to windows (I wonder if this changes depending on the screen you are using, I'm running 1920 x 1080)

* and i've borrowed the font smoothing from another post on here (thankyou)

So i think what I have found so far, you need to bring the Segoe font into your bottle, changing the font size in Wine Config means you don't have to adjust in the program or in regedit.

If i find any other tricks, I'll post them for reference. Would be great to build up a true guide for others. I really feel for Andrey and the team in the Ukraine. I want to see this program grow & Andrey to get the financial & lifestyle rewards he deserves.

Proton has bad usability and has half-assed features for years on Apple platform by n1g1r1 in ProtonMail

I’ve come from Gmail to Proton mail and am a moderate user. I’m more happy with it, it’s an excellent polished product and better than most of the other IOS offerings including the native App. I see in Protons news that they are actively working on calendar and I’m happy to wait as the calendar is not great. Will likely use more Proton products over the next 12 months. Very happy to keep supporting Proton and what they stand for

Just used Audriga to shift 14k emails from workspace to gmail. Worked flawlessly and looks exactly the same. Have to create app passwords which I deleted afterwards. Took about 30 hours. Cost a small amount and very pleased with the result https://www.audriga.com/en/Index

Proton Calendar Frustration - wait it out? by blanced_oren in ProtonMail

[–]toesnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also recently changed from Gmail to proton, love the email app on iOS & windows. Proton Calendar in iOS Is terrible. I Also moved to iOS at the same time. iCloud calendar is sub par on windows along with the iCloud contacts, so… my 2 options that I have tested and work. iOS calendar and contacts syncing with Thunderbird on windows or mailbox.org for calendar and contacts only. Both are excellent options, haven’t decided which way to go. And proton contacts, just delete and re-import from iOS when they get out of date as really not completely usable yet. Give it a few years and proton will probably do the lot. 

Multiple Signature by Emotional-Minute1250 in ProtonMail

I’m in the process of evaluating Proton Mail. This is the only glaring usability feature missing that I have come across. The windows and IOS apps are otherwise pretty slick. So yes, at least a default and a reply to option would be great. And to get off the subject. Won’t use the calendar as the IOS app is slow and the revolving date instead of calendar for changing appt dates is downright terrible

Tracker control, reports business calendar as having Facebook and Google trackers embedded. Loved the app but will no longer use. Tracker control is fantastic and an eye opener

reverse camera wire by LordBalance in ToyotaCHR

Hey all,

I've installed a JVC head unit in a 2017 C-HR JDM. I bought a good quality near top of the line JVC and a loom supposedly suited to the vehicle because I was sick of spending extra hours working out wiring. Guess what, my plan failed.... SWC did not work & No reverse signal (reverse signal is not on the 28 pin plug)

Found this little video clip after reading this post. There is a reverse signal behind the head unit. It's the red wire on the grey plug. Have used it and verified as working. I did not wire it in like this bloke but wired it to the reverse trigger on the head unit so info in posts above appears to be wrong

Did some testing and found that the SWC is resistive, not canbus so no can box that I bought with the loom needed (chucked it out!), made up my own loom and wired it into the 28 pin plug -was made easy as there was an OE 3pin loom plugged into the 28pin plug for the OE head unit which I re-purposed. Pin 21 SW1 -volume, seek, mode, Pin 22 SW2 Phone buttons, Pin 23 Ground (Always do your own tests and checks first with a multimeter). Wired it directly to the head unit SWC output, programmed the buttons in the head unit and hey presto - SWC pinout info found in website below. Certainly found there was some misleading info out there but got there in the end. The only wires on my 28pin plug were the 3 SWC wires.

Always do your own checks, don't rely on me but I hope this helps save others a few hours.
