Title: [Resolved] Progress Bar doesn't show
Post by: rdfrahm on February 21, 2011, 08:14:03 PM

I've tried several different themes and can't get the progress bar to show and the system never boots until I hit Enter.  I'm using Chameleon RC5 and running OSX 10.6.6 in VirtualBox on an AMD machine.  I've setup up themes on other machines and the progress bar works as expected.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rich

For one, you are in the wrong section. you should be in General, not Theme Park

Anyways, if it doesn't boot until you hit enter, that is your problem.

Chameleon has two options, either a countdown and automatic boot, or no countdown/no automatic boot.

Code: [Select]

<key>Timeout</key> 
<string>5</string>
will make it countdown to 5, then boot

Code: [Select]

<key>Timeout</key> 
<string>0</string>
will make it skip countdown, or the lack of the timeout key/sting altogether will do that same (disable countdown.)

Thanks to whoever moved this to the correct place...sorry.

And thanks spalek83 for the reply...I appreciate it.  For anyone else with this issue, the 'timeout' key needs to be placed in the com.apple.Boot.plist file.

This made my progress appear and function properly, but it messed up the graphics...I get a vertical bar of garbage.  Not sure what's up with that yet.

do all themes do that, or just that one?

I just tried a couple of others and neither had this problem, so it must be something I did when resizing...I'll try again.

Thanks!

I downloaded a fresh copy of the theme, resized everything and tried again.  Works great now!  Thanks!
