Minor UI Fixes for TouchDesigner on Wine

Hey there,

 

I am using TD on Kubuntu 25.04/Wayland on WINE thru Lutris and it works beautifully. System specs are Intel CPU/Nvidia 4070ti Super GPU.

 

However, one thing has always bugged me. Some of the UI text elements, specifically on the timeline panel at the bottom, wouldn't show up.

Also, the text in the search box on the OPCreate dialog wouldn't display while typing. Even though the search function does work.

 

I dug through /ui/dialogs and discovered that the text TOPs responsible for these elements all had a display mode of "Bitmap". Changing those modes to either automatic (0) or scalable (4) on .par.dispmode for each of those tops displayed them again. Below 15pt for automatic dispmode didn't work, so I changed those to scalable mode

I have created a .tox file that goes through each of the 23 TOPs that need to be updated and sets their dispmode accordingly at project startup using an execute DAT.

All you need to do is drop this .tox file into your project or templates and set Enable to On and it will apply these fixes at project startup. This needs to happen at each project startup as the components under /ui/dialogs are overwritten with defaults at project load. I'm sure there is a better way to implement these changes but this is what works for me at the moment.

Enjoy!
