After reading Object Desktop 2010: First Details by Frogboy , and Reply #1 by Zubaz in Mirsguy's Post " RightClick--Stagnant, Dying, or Alive and Well? ".........
..........I was happy to see the ball rolling.......
I was wondering once again If anybody else had some ideas for one of the most useful programs out there.......
other than png's please !
what about png support...anyone mention that one already?
I copied the configuration from xp over to vista after installing RC there. I made sure the same skin was in the skins folder and I think I grabbed the desktopmenu.obbar file and possibly the RightClick.ini file. When I fired up Vista, all my shorts and stuff was on the RC, I just needed to adjust accordingly. Somebody posted that info here on WC somewhere...can't remember who or where though.
EDIT: Here it is...see reply # 14 https://forums.wincustomize.com/161873
Thanks for the link,M1. If I decide to use RC again I will certainly use that info. Apparently this is a long standing issue with RC that has sadly been overlooked. Imo,software that makes your computer easier to use should likewise be easy to use. However, manually saving config. settings is better than not saving them at all.
Nope, never heard that one before!!!
I've done the same, but it would be a great option if You could make a backup with one button like in OD, also if You could save multiple themes.....I know that most people would probably not take advantage of it, but it migh come in handy.
Definitely!
Not arguing that point. It would be fantabulous if they'd do that.
...........now tell Me more about these png thing-a-ma-jiggy's!
I don't know how much it would weigh the program down..... how about aditional "drawing settings" ( stretch/tile points )
e.g. Left Start, Left Stop......( fancy schmancy design element ).......Right Stop, Right Start, also for Top and Bottom......to allow for centered images in the design of the skin. Of course this would be optional, and skinners could also use the current drawing settings as well, if the design did not require the center portion of the image to be retained.
This is something I've wanted in ObjectDock as well...hmmmm, I know a thread "Fred"...
I was going there now!!!
oh, and png support would be helpful...I think.
Pesky Munkeh!!!! ...........
Proper 64bit support
Might have been mentioned before but I was too lazy reading through all replies
It was, but it don't hurt to mention it again! I understand about being lazy......if there was a catagory for that, I would be a Master!
Would be nice if it were context sensitive. As in, changes menu options depending on what program(s) are open.
I haven't used it in a while 'cause I've got a program that does that with menus, button bars (where each button can do a different thing depending on which mouse button it was pressed with), macros, hotkeys, mouse gestures, scripting, scheduled events and messages, timers and a bunch of other things via plug-ins. And it has .png support.
Oh, and Potable Network Graphic support would be nice as well!
I don't know about that, but I'd like to see PNG support...
Did someone mention being able to save the configuration already ?
Oh and RC needs an update.
*runs & hides*
............I think I need to check Myself in......
If anyone asks what happened..........blame the Monkey!!!
There's monkey's in here?! Well get 'em out, they're filthy creatures.
I was thinking again...............how about a Foreground, or more like a multi layer Background. But, with it's own set of margins. this way, You could have a pattern in the center that is tiled and a frame/border with a different pattern, style, gradient...etc. that could be stretched or vice versa.....
.......oh, and then also control over the layer order by means of either a label, e.g. [ForegroundOnTop], [ForegroundOnBottom] or just by how it is ordered in the config. This way maybe, if You wanted, You could have the content ( Text, Mouseovers, Arrows, Separators.... ) either on top of everything or sandwiched between the background and foreground....... ( I know I'm gonna get grief for this! ) but, this would probably work best if png's were implemented.
png's you say...interesting concept there "Fred".
Thanks Steven, I think I might be on to somehting with that idea....
Here are a few more things that popped into My head...........
Shadow for the Title font, and how about, when You are using a skin with a title area and You have folder on the menu which is set as a menu, not a link.......what if the title of the folder menu could also be a link, like how an OD folder menu works.
