Well, I decided to install CrossOver on my Mac running 10.7 (Lion), and it seems to work well on my Mac.
I went to this
page and CrossOver installed the latest release version (3.2.1.1167).
Now, since I wanted to install the latest beta, I simply dropped the new exe in the "The Word" folder.
The only problem I've noticed so far (apart from the CM not working) is that setting the font sizes is not possible in Bible View Options because the text size boxes aren't there (unless I am missing something).
To set font smoothing, here is what I did:
Cut and paste the following data into TextEdit
Code: Select all
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:00000001
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
Save the plain text file as "fs_rgb.reg" (without the quotes) and place it in your default folder
(i.e., /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/The Word)
In CrossOver's menu bar, go to Programs --> Run Command…
In the Run Command window, choose your bottle in the Use Bottle pop-up menu
and click the Browse… button below it to browse to the folder where you saved the reg file.
In the Command text box, add "regedit" before the path that will appear there
(e.g., regedit "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/e-Sword/fs_rgb.reg")
Click the Run button
That will set the registry value found in the reg file.
I hope this helps other Mac users who might want to install the program on their Macs via CrossOver.
