[ Bugs ]

1) When the system is a little loaded (probably over 50% of cpu usage) and we use a hotkey, it takes a moment to take effect and sometimes it doesnt take effect on the wanted window. Maybe you should raise the priority of AWM when receiving hotkey commands.

2) I'm currently using a modified version of uxtheme.dll (to enable non-signed window skins)... Everything looks to work great until I notice that after some hours of using AWM (while working), the background behind the Title buttons were not refreshing properly... Using my new skin, I got round buttons instaed classic squared but after a time, I get a square background refrech filled with the OnMouseOver Highlighting color.

3) When you select "screen edge" for Extended minimizing, there seem to be a little selection line drawn over the "Extended minimize" title button

4) I Get the message: "Invalid variant type conversion" when I do the following:
- Start Config
- Click on "Title buttons" button
- Select the 0 value in "Shift buttons" editbox
- Press "-" to replace it

5) Annoying thing with msn messenger: if a receive a message from someone, the conversation window pops up and automatically get the keyboard focus. Normally, it just adds a window to the taskbar that flashes. The only way I got rid of this problem it by unchecking "Windows Messenger Conversation" in "Specific Windows".

6) Sometimes, when I put the mouse cursor over the tray icon of a minimized window, it dosen't pop up the window title of this window.

7) In "Position", the horizontal shift seems to apply only when we hit une save button. Should it take effect only when a titlebutton is pressed of if a hotkey command has been called?

[ Suggestions ]

1) Make the Toolbar icons bigger. You have the space for it in the default Config window size.

2) In the "Main" button menu, you should replace all the Text labeled buttons by images buttons; just like the image buttons in the window handeling type "toolbar"... You should also, split them into two columns.

3) Change the name of the function "Sent to bottom"... It actually means the window is minimized to the taskbar only. The problem is that many people don't leave the taskbar to the bottom of the screen. Mine is actually on top of it! Could be "Send to taskbar". You might also wanna change the title button.

4) When setting "Tray Options" to "No tray icon" then minimizing a window to tray. The window completly disapear. Could be usefull to spare some space in tre Tray... but there's actually no way to see it back! Maybe you should consider adding an extra toggle hotkey named "Show Invisible Tray Icons".

5) In Windows XP, there's an option in the configuration of the startup menu than enables any user to "Always show"/"Always hide"/"Hide when inactive" program icons in the tray. Maybe you should add this feature to your soft.

6) When we right click on the minimize title button, if we select "Minimise to tray" or "minimize to screen edge", it does take effect immediately. I suggest you to add a meun item to "minimize" and use the other two options to toggle mode.

[ Questions ]

1) Is this normal we can't create 2 specific windows with the same name? if fact it is cutting the last character (probably to make a unique occurence) but should you tell the user?

We'll investigate this situation, thanks for the interesting note.

Цитата
I'm currently using a modified version of uxtheme.dll

Please, provide us a link or mail us your version of uxtheme.dll for the testing purposes. Also, it would be nice if you provide a link to your theme's download.

Цитата
3) When you select "screen edge" for Extended minimizing, there seem to be a little selection line drawn over the "Extended minimize" title button

It's not a glitch, it's a current icon for the "Minimize to screen" function.

Цитата
4) I Get the message: "Invalid variant type conversion"

It's a known issue, it will be fixed until the 4.0 release.

Цитата
5) Annoying thing with msn messenger

We'll consider this your note.

Цитата
6) Sometimes, when I put the mouse cursor over the tray icon of a minimized window, it dosen't pop up the window title of this window.

Please, try to find the exact conditions of this issue, so we could reproduce it.

Цитата
7) In "Position", the horizontal shift seems to apply only when we hit une save button.

Current position shifting is implemented for window creation only, so it's not a bug.

[ Suggestions ]

Цитата
1) Make the Toolbar icons bigger.

We'll consider this your suggestion.

Цитата
2) In the "Main" button menu, you should replace all the Text labeled buttons by images buttons

Current "Main" panel layout is temporary, it will be changed until release to be more attractive and usable.

Цитата
3) Change the name of the function "Sent to bottom"...

I believe there's no need for this.

Actually, this function doesn't "minimize to taskbar" - it makes window unfocused and place it under the others, but keeps it on the desktop. You may ensure this by sending any window to bottom and minimize others one-by-one, so you'll the sent window behind them.

Цитата
Maybe you should consider adding an extra toggle hotkey named "Show Invisible Tray Icons".

We plan to add a some kind of control for minimized/hidden/rolled windows, but not in the 4.0.

Цитата
5) In Windows XP, there's an option in the configuration of the startup menu than enables any user to "Always show"/"Always hide"/"Hide when inactive"

Why you shouldn't use this XP feature instead of re-implementing it in AWM?

Цитата
I suggest you to add a meun item to "minimize" and use the other two options to toggle mode.

We'll consider this your suggestion.

[ Questions ]

Цитата
1) Is this normal we can't create 2 specific windows with the same name?

Yes, it's normal. The cause is in the internal AWM's data processing mechanisms.

[Bug #2: uxtheme.dll problem]
The patch to apply to use a modified version of uxtheme.dll is located here: http://www.llbbl.com/data/nw_uxpatcher.zip

The page to get the theme is: http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=87187&type=vs&view=&page=&cat=&name=Underground-2+Ver-2.zip
Click on download down the page... Oh by the way, it gives a exefile named something like Ex: "25261.exe", this is an installer made by www.themexp.org to install the skin but I think it also install some spyware stuff; so you might wanna install it on a cleanable machine.

[Bug #3: "screen edge" Vs Extended minimizing]
Oh... loll Uou got me there lol I really haven't seen the icon this way!

[Bug #6: No icon tray Popup]
Well... I thing it happend to me twice since I'm testing your soft... I havent been able to reproduce the problem!

But I'm a developper so maybe it happened when the system was a little unstable... If I happens again, i'll try to not how it happened!

[Suggestions #3: "Sent to bottom" button name]
Oh I see... You mean sent to bottom list of Z-Ordered windows? Should you call it "Sent to back" like many layer design programs does?

[Suggestions #5: The "Always show"/"Always hide"/"Hide when inactive" thing]
You gotta point! I just tought it would be interesting for many users who don't even know this feature in WinXp... But probably most users that uses your softs are Power-Users so...

Of course, we will. Excuse for such a delay and please post your next feedback. Here are the answers:

Цитата
[Bug #2: uxtheme.dll problem]

I downloaded the patcher which you'd provided a link for. We'll test it ASAP and notify you about the results. By the way, does the problem remain with the beta 2?

Цитата
[Bug #3: "screen edge" Vs Extended minimizing]

All icons are subject to change so they should become more clearer.

Цитата
[Bug #6: No icon tray Popup]

Is there any new information about this issue?

Цитата
[Suggestions #3: "Sent to bottom" button name]

Yes, you got the point. As for changing this term... well, it's been survived for almost five years without any questions, but we'll consider your suggestion.

Цитата
[Suggestions #5: The "Always show"/"Always hide"/"Hide when inactive" thing]

I suppose it'd be better if we provide some hint for this XP feature in our Help or at the site instead of doing the job again.
