Object Bar went NUTS!!!
Tuesday, October 21, 2003 by dabe | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Weirdest thing happened tonight when I booted up my computer. First, the bottom bar was not on the bottom. It was about an inch, give or take, up from the bottom, and I couldn't get it down to where it belonged. Unacceptable, I thought. So, I loaded the object bar theme browser and loaded a new bar. Didn't like it, though it was where I wanted it, so I loaded another one. Then, I started going down the list of bars, trying one after another, just for the hell of it. There are bars I've never even looked at before tonight, so I was having fun.
But then, all of a sudden, my computer when NUTS!!! It just started loading bars, one after another after another. I finally 3-finger saluted into the task manager, and there was this list of open bars that just went on and on. No way I could count the number of open bars. I tried shutting them down, but they kept loading faster than my fingers could shut them down. So, all I could do was hit the reset button on my computer, and hope for the best. So, I did.
The computer has rebooted, and all seems to be back to normal now. The bar that I wanted in the first place is down at the bottom of the screen, and everything thing else is working well.
Sheesh...... that was scary. Anybody know what happened? I'm just curious, but I also don't want that to happen again.

Wow I thought it was just me!!!
I've had this happen 3 or 4 times. It took me awhile to figure it out, the first couple of times I wasn't even able to get in to Task Manager to see what was going on so I had to just force the computer to reboot. .

dabe , do you remember what bar was going when it happened, by chance? I think all mine have happened when I loaded an Aqua bar.

It was a graphite panther bar for me. Not sure exactly which, Shadow I think.

I'm pretty sure it was the QNX Version 1.0 Theme. First the left hand drop down bar wouldn't quite dock properly, so I tried to unload it. That's when all hell broke loose. I was thinking that I just overloaded my theme browser. I guess I asked it to switch too much, too fast. It did protest too much.
