How to change window decoration?

Hello,

i’m completly new to RISC OS. Can someone please tell me how to change the Window Decoration to the one used on “classic” RISC OS machines (i think the style is called “Salt and Pepper” from what i’ve read so far).

Thanks,
egrath

Which machine are you using, and which version of RISC OS are you using? (Go to the icon on the bottom right of the desktop, press Menu – the middle mouse button – and go up to info.)

Ups, sorry i forgot to add this information – i am using RISC OS 5.21 on a Raspberry Pi (image downloaded from raspberrypi.org)

If you have the newest HardDisk image there should be a theme manager. Click menu (middle click, scrollwheel) on the Raspberry and left click on “configure”. Either you’ll find a “theme” icon or not :)
They’re customisable if you don’t like them of course.

Hello,
thanks for your help, after installing the new HardDisk image the Theme manager was there and i was able to change the theme.

Egon: If you are using the image from RaspberryPi.org, have you updated the OS since? The OS version on there is very old (from when the Pi port was quite new) and the newer versions are more stable.

I would suggest also downloading the latest ROM and copying this over (RISCOS.IMG) if you haven’t done so.

The image on the RISC OS Open site is more up-to-date if you need to create a new card.

Hello,
what i’ve done so far:

1. Downloaded the RC11 Image from Raspberrypi.org and wrote it to the SD card to have anything to start from
2. Downloaded the latest Beta Harddisk from here and merged the !Boot content with the one one the SD

I haven’t updated to ROM yet but will give it a try this evening.

To clarify:
The NOOBS download on raspberrypi.org contains the old (RC8?) version of RISC OS
The RISC OS only download on raspberrypi.org is RC11 which is the latest distribution
