Cipher Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) i dont have the bug either. however highlighting 'log off' causes the black area behind the radio button turn grey. this makes the 'spike' look strange. is this normal ? . but this is easy on the eyes and takes place with 4 other VS that managed to stay on . the rest ive tried get tiring after a few minutes.

ThemeNorth Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 highlighting 'log off' causes the black area behind the radio button turn grey. this makes the 'spike' look strange. is this normal ? That'll happen if you're using the Welcome Screen coupled with the compact sub-style. It can be 'fixed' either by turning off the Welcome Screen or editing the string resources in explorer.exe. Two bugs I've found. The start menu bug is still there, sadly :(And a Photoshop bug, the icon has a weird white background. Regarding the start panel bug make sure you've got the 'TN Blank' font installed (you'll have to re-apply the VS after installing it). As for the photoshop bug, I can probably do something about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
