Modifying start parameters in Mac OS X?
According to the Oxygen (Oxygen 11) documentation, this should be done by right clicking the application icon in Finder. Now right clicking is not something the Mac Os X-system (10.5.8) is built for, or at least not the Mac mouse. Usually right clicking a one button Mac-mouse is done by holding down the CTRL and the Apple-key while mouseclicking. But this does not work on my Mac, there is no reaction except for selecting the file. Do I misunderstand the instructions, or is there some other way to do this? I have tried to edit the included oxygen.sh-file but this doesn't seem to do anything, I still get an errormessage about stack-memory requirements. Espen Ore Holmestrand, Norway
Dear Espen, We will try to explain that a more clearly. To get the contextual menu on a Mac you can use CTRL+Click (that is without the Apple-key). Note that although the Apple mouse has a single button it is sensitive if you press that in the left or in the right part. At least it works that way on my machine and I can right click on Mac to get the contextual menu.

Espen, To find out how your Mac mouse is configured, from the Finder, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > "Keyboard & Mouse" (in OS 10.6 it's just plain "Mouse", and "Keyboard" is separate). There you can determine what the current equivalent of right-click is on your machine/mouse combination, and reconfigure it if you wish. John On Nov 29, 2009, at 1:21 PM, George Cristian Bina wrote:

Hello, Thank you for letting us know. For Mac OS X we will replace in the User Manual "right-click on the <oXygen/> application icon in Finder" with "Ctrl-click on the <oXygen/> application icon in Finder". I think Ctrl-click is the standard OS X gesture for invoking the contextual menu. Regards, Sorin Espen S. Ore wrote:

Thank you very much for all the good advice! Espen Sorin Ristache wrote:
