Hi all,

Finaly found some time at work to reply so..

BeeJay: Ok had a look at the SS here and can't really see a pinkish colour :( but I'll check when I get home :).

twist: The cutoff problem was also fixed in the 0.65 build :)

Space Guy and all: The backspace 'issue' has appeared due to the toolbar nolonger recieving any focus commands from IE so I'll have to look at coding some thing to do this.

I'll also do the clear the search string as an option so peaople can choose :).

PiMPiN: Yep the chevron is a toolbar feature, however the toolbar stuff was the thing creating a problem in IE :( so it had to go.

Choosing the images shouldn't be a problem to add so if I have the time tonight I'll try it.

Also I should be able to do a 'Light' version where all you see is a couple of buttons and the search field, but this will have to wait untill this is done.

Thanks all,

Vader

I am starting to think it is the color you had intended. The color isn't noticably pink, however, the buttons don't quite blend in enough on my toolbar because of the differance in the 3D grey background of the toolbar and the bakground button color.

Like I said... no big deal. It is just a little bit of an abrupt change to the user interface. If you like it then leave it alone. I certainally can live with it. :-)

I can see a slight pink tint as well. Probably due to the image color contrasting with the IE interface. Might also be an option Vader to include 2 or 3 different icon/button sets and allow someone to choose in the options.

OR

In the ini file have it list the images and their resource ids or something to allow a simplistic form of "skinning"

BTW, finally found my Delphi CDs so I should have it installed in the morning, will then be able to continue work on it. If you could PM Vader with the latest bug list it would be appreciated.

The buttons are not something I really did, Someone I know produced it and gave me the code which I've been bug fixing and I through I'd try them to get rid of the problem with IE crashing.

But I'll look at the stuff that draws the button and remove the dithering code that is run if I can with out breaking them :)

PiMPiN: As above I can't skin the thing at the mo, so I'll think on this a bit :s

The only real good thing is I have hopefully found away around the backspace problem in the search field (after around 3 hours of programming :disappoin last night) and it will be in the version I release in a couple of days.

The only thing now is as PiMPiN said can anyone with any problem no matter how small please PM me with it (and that includes suggestions of what to include as well) as I want to finally stop adding features after the next release and just consentrate on bugs.

Thanks,

Vader

Do you mean the backspace 'issue' (as MS would say :))

If so then yep fixed I've found a way of sending the focus to the field only and not the entire band.

And the search field will clear itself if the option is sellected.

I have also incuded 2 looks in there as well, which again can be choosen.

If I have the time I'll release a new version tonight

A very tired,

Vader.

Can you use a transparent icon for the options.exe file. There's a black border around the logo now.

I can send you an icon when I get home if you want

Hey sorry I didn't reply sooner... with the new options and bug fixes, the toolbar seems to be perfect, definitely good enough for a more public release. I've had the last version installed since a couple hours after it was released, and I definitely don't have any more crashes relating to the toolbar, and no other problems to mention at all. Love it :D

Sorry about the long wait.

I'm re-doing the flat style for the buttons as you know. I was hoping that it would of been available last weekend but work got in the way :( so hopefully this week end ;)

If I have the time I may code the icons to either use the build in resources or get a icon from the install dir.

Thanks,

Vader

Hi,

As and when I get some more time to do things like this again I'll restart development on it.

It's just at the moment if I'm not at work I normaly get roped in to playing clan matches for CS and BF1942 at the mo.

So hopefully it should start again soon espesaly now I have Delphi 7 (It has WinXP skin support).

Cheers,

Vader

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
