As decided by an official meeting vote on Mattermost, set the default theme and desktop wallpaper to Mizu. In this commit, I also added the 16:9 variants of every wallpaper in our standard wallpaper pack that had a resolution of 1920x1080 or better. For most wallpapers, we don't need a 4:3 variant because we have a "Fill" placement option that will scale the wallpaper up to the desired height and cut off the edges. Unfortunately, the Mizu wallpaper is one that doesn't work well with this method. Wallpapers without text branding were preferred over text branded wallpapers. Also, add a fix for the Mizu start button so that it looks acceptable with large taskbar. Limitations: - Since we can only display bitmap (.bmp) images on the desktop, convert the 4:3 and 16:9 variants of the Mizu wallpaper to bitmap files. - Since ReactOS will default to a 4:3 aspect ratio without changing the resolution, set the default wallpaper to the 4:3 variant. - The theme is set on the welcome page of the setup wizard during second stage setup.
======================== ReactOS™ Version 0.4.x Updated October 9, 2021 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ------------------- ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7). More information is available at: https://reactos.org 2. Relationship with the WINE project ------------------------------------- ReactOS has always intended to work with the WINE project to share as much programming effort as possible. This mainly concerns User Mode DLLs and still happens to a degree today. Other areas of cooperation lie in applications and testing suites. 3. Future compatibility ----------------------- The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003 compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases. 4. Supporting other System Applications --------------------------------------- The Windows NT architecture allows for subsystems, as does the ReactOS architecture. A subsystem is an implementation of the APIs of another operating system, allowing ReactOS to run applications from other systems. We are already looking at subsystems for: Java, OS/2, and DOS and possibly others in the future. 5. Is ReactOS legal? -------------------- Yes we are. All the code of ReactOS has been written from scratch by our developers. We go to great lengths to ensure that the code our developers create is clean, same applies to the variety of methods we use to understand Windows internals, including clean room reverse engineering, using existing documentation freely available both in books and on the web, using extensive tests (tens of millions) which apply black box engineering methods against both public and private APIs exposed by the operating system. 6. Tutorials ------------ Developer and User Tutorials: https://reactos.org/wiki The tutorials contain more information on the project, compiling and testing ReactOS - amongst other topics. Contributors to the project are always welcome. 7. Frequently Asked Questions ----------------------------- Some of your questions may be answered in: https://reactos.org/faq In addition, the ReactOS forum: https://reactos.org/forum may contain complementary, yet non-official, information. 8.
