..... Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 (edited) Still one bug keeping this skin away from perfection unfortunately: hope you can fix this binary, this has to be the best look windows has ever had, its much better than anything ever released, even by microsoft edit: this occurs when there are too many windows open for the start bar to display, so it moves them onto two lines (yeh,i know microsoft can put them into a menu, but i like them better this way :p) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/13/#findComment-502715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binary Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 I've known about that bug since the very first version. Nobody has EVER mentioned it, in fact having that many buttons on the taskbar is very unlikely to ever happen. I think your just knitpicking now ;) Chris Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/13/#findComment-502968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 (edited) lol, i've always noticed it too, and it happens to me all the time, there are about 3 or 4 forums i browse, so when i get in from school i "shift-click" to open all the threads i want to view, i often end up with 40 or 50 open IE windows i've just never mentioned it really, i always assumed someone else would've noticed it sorry if you think it's nitpicking, and if you've noticed it since the beginning, i assume you can't fix it either way, its the best, and most polished theme around Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/13/#findComment-503061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 i dont really like grouping, as it's akward when you've got 40-50 windows, if its on the taskbar its just one click, not click, scroll to the right window, click Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/13/#findComment-503270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XzyluM Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Awesome. Watercolor still kicking I see. Just got back into Neowin after being idle for awhile. Been using Watercolor ever since. Good job Binary. As far as andrewfee's bug goes, I really see no need to even worry about it. Having 40-50 windows open at a time is just ridiculous. :wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/32604-watercolor-v43/page/13/#findComment-503519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
