Created page with "{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}  Are there any ports for windows that have a simi..."

New page

{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}



Are there any ports for windows that have a similar GUI to the QT mac version?

If not, is there a way to have the vanilla version with similar
options? Like increasing the lines on the log, moving the status menu(maybe having some colors) I tried increasing the font size in the default file, it did
increase the size of the msg window but also the text so that was
really little help.

Also id like nethack to open my inventory when i want to apply,
drop, name, etc instead of first having to open the inventory, look at
the letter, close the inventory, *action*, then letter. The Qt version
seems to do this nicely from what I could tell on the "Lets play
nethack" videos on youtube. Is this possible?

Or are there any patches/mods that can do this? i looked through 9 pages of the dl section, but only saw one that adds color to the status bar(not sure if it was for tty or not though)

		+	:::::There are at least two, named Nethack and iNethack. Both have complete commands available and have tile sets enabled, so I'm really not sure what you're talking about. If you're looking for a telnet client to use with Nethack, there's Rogueterm. There are a couple bugs, but it's under active development. No tiles, though. -[[Special:Contributions/67.169.120.3\|67.169.120.3]] 15:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
