Experiment for a small WB bug.
Wednesday, July 3, 2002 by UBoB | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm experiencing a small problem with WB. I have posted a report of the bug to WindowBlinds support NG. The post remains a couple of days, then disappears. No answer, no acknowlegement of any kind, just disappears.
I'm hoping someone might help me in a little experiment to see if you can duplicate the problem I'm having. If not, then maybe it is my computer.
Here is the problem:
First, apply a skin, with the taskbar on the bottom of the desktop. (any skin, it doesn't matter).
Second, open an application. (once again, it doesn't matter what application you open)
Third: Now look to see the button that is created in the taskbar to indicate the opened application....it's a perfect and wholly formed button, right?
Fourth, drag the taskbar to one of the sides.
Fifth, now drag the taskbar back to the bottom.
Now the button that indicates the open application is missing half along the bottom, right?
If you do duplicate this, please let me know.
If you don't, please let me know.
Many thanks.

It starts looking like that when I move it back down, but resizes up again when I let go of the pointer. I don't doubt that you have this problem, though, as I've seen shots from other people with it (it messes up some of my skins).
Newsgroup messages don't usually disappear. Try resetting that newsgroup? Outlook Express in particular tends to "lose" posts, or stop getting new ones.

Forgot to mention. This does not happen if you are using the native "Windows XP Style". It only happens with WindowBlinds skins.
