Apache-User Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 you rule..... have you fixed the problem with opening a new windows being linked to the last... and not spawning a new instanceand in v2 youve got some loose pixels on the left and right hand side.... little dos that cover the pages.. all on the side thx 1. new windows hmm jap seems to be a smal prob right now i dont see a decent way to solve this. only if i set the state of new windows to open in new explorer but then it will open the normal IE so that would have to be replaced with mine..... 2. jap i saw the pixels and realy dont know where they come from.. trying to fix that in build 0003 what hopefuly is gonna have the popup blocker... i just tryed it in an test build and it seems to work that a blocked URL is not opening... but ill gues a have to find a way to add URLs to the block list all not that easy but ill give it a try keep the ideas comming :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edreamsz Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hey man Great conversion, I think that we have to open post in costumizing XP! This deserves more attention! BUT the following: I think this is still in alpha stage. There are a few things you have to fix. The window corners aren't 100% clean. The icons aren't sharp like the ones used in Y's Toolbar. Thet window doesn't resize to fit ( for example: im running smartbar and when using you IE it always manages to get behind the bar,clicking for resize doesn't help. The pulldown/dropdown menus have to drop down when you hover over it (like the normal IE). And last but not least there are some useless pixels at the left and right of the int.explorer window. Hope this helps you project and im eagerly waiting for your next release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 really good work, Apache-User :):) I hope the graphics on it .. like the buttons can be cleaned up as sharp as the original :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edreamsz Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Apache i meant that you can't double click the top so it resizes automatically (like the "normal" IE). But it 2 days old man. Great work for 2 days :D Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecat2000 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 yes doesn't work for me either I'm afraid. I use Windows XP Professional Media Center Edition The exe wont load ! :( Tested it on a WinXP SP1 Pro we have on our other PC, which it did work on that. So yes I guess it works on XP Pro but not on mine which is the MCE :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes I guess it works on XP Pro but not on mine which is the MCE :( sorry cat couldn test it an MCE :) but thx for the info @ all the pixels on the sides... found the bug in the alpha blending so its fixed in build 3 also build 3 is gona have a second skin what would be Aero and maybe a blue Slate theme.. see what i can do but im not sure bout the popup blocker it might come in build 4 that would mean that i could release build 3 by end of the week... greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted November 11, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 11, 2003 sounds good to me ^_^. cant wait for build 3 just remember to lower that compression to get rid of the probs in the graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacidz Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Works for me. The back and forward buttons dont work though for me. As for the menus, when open, it stays open. Would be good for it to Auto Hide after say a second. As for the resizing via clicking on the titlebar, i would like this also as it is very handy Otherwise after 2 days work, i have to say that this is a great job you have done. Excellent work on your part and i hope you continue with it and develop it into something really special as it can be. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDogsBed Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'll add a twist to the "It won't work for me" crowd then. I'm using XP Pro SP1 (all updates applied) and zilch. I can double-click it all day long and not a jot. If you want to know dll versions etc, gimme a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
