FM/2 has the ability to create shadows of objects on your WPS desktop (or in other WPS folders). To create shadows, select objects in an FM/2 window, then select :hp1.Shadow:ehp1. from a context menu or the Files pulldown submenu (Create Objects submenu). :p. If only one shadow is being created, the shadow is placed directly into the folder you specify. If more than one shadow is being created, FM/2 first prompts you for the name of a folder. This folder is then created on the desktop and the shadows are placed inside that folder. You can move the shadows or folder elsewhere after that. :h2 res=91700 name=PANEL_OBJECTS.Real Objects :i1 id=aboutObjects.Real Objects :artwork name='..\..\bitmaps\object.bmp' align=center. :p.

FM/2 handles JAVA jar files in a way that creates an executable program object. The first time you use it you must select the JAVA executable you wish to use. I recommend PATH\OPENJDK6\bin\javaw.exe. Your selection is saved in the FM/2 ini file for future use. It can be changed by selecting the :hp1.Change JAVA executable:ehp1. from a context menu or the Files pulldown submenu (Create Objects submenu) You will be prompted to select an icon file for the object. Some JAVA programs will need additional command line switches (e.g. SmartSVN requires -Dsmartsvn.checkIncompatibleJava=false). You can add these by opening the object properties and editing the parameters box. You should restart your desktop before doing so since the object tends to lose its icon when opening in properties view if you don't
