Could you make a separate exe for Windowblind user to place the window icon at the left of window caption?

You mean to use a WindowBlinds skin which already has buttons to the left, and make a program which puts window icon left side the window caption?

This is complicated because I don't know how to make WindowBlinds tell me where the window caption is (text position, left, center or right side of the window, margins, text width, etc...)

Anyway... isn't WindowBlinds paid software? What about making a feature request to StarDock? If many users make the same request, it's very probable they will implement it. ;)

My mistake I did not know Windowblinds controlled the caption I thought it was an xp thing.

1. Fixed title thing.

2. Changed font... I think I'm using Calibri now... can't remember. I'll make it customizable instead, so you will be able to select any font name / weight (normal, semibold, bold) / size.

Edit

Ok, posting from the iMac at work. Traffic lights behavior:

Window focused, no mouse over: color traffic lights.

Window unfocused, no mouse over: grayscale traffic lights.

Mouse over: color traffic lights and all three symbols (x - +) shown at the same time, the traffic lights are in color even if window is unfocused.

Mouse down: color traffic lights and all three symbols (x - +) shown at the same time. The symbol with mouse down has darkened background.

Here is a screenshot:


Ah I thought so.. :) Would be great if you could implement this, I can't seem to find it anywhere else.

Replaced file C:\WINDOWS\FlyakiteOSX\Resources\shell32.dll\4.ico with Default.ico from Rockn...

Usuallly when your view is "thumbnails" and there is a folder with files such as pictures in it, those files are "previewed" with an "icon" on the back. Does anyone know which icon is used to display the contents of a folder when the view is set to "thumbnails" ??

Edit: I took a screenshot to make it easier to understand.

Left side is the one I wanna change (yellow folder behind thumbnails).

AFAIK it's the same icon, the 128x128 version of it.

Thx Matonga, I'll try modifying that one then.

Edit: Edited that icon but Flyakite's "System Files Updater" says there is nothing to change LOL.

Edit 2: Forced the update of files and you were right, icon 4.ico is the one that handles the "preview" THX!!

1. I have a problem with WinExpose here (was in all versions od AMM), the AMM bars are suggested as seperate windows (LeftbeClass) by WinExpose:

2. My PC won´t shut down or change user or anything like that, until I close the AppleMinMax from the taskbar and shut down again. Then it´s no problem.

EDIT: Added LeftbeClass to the Exclusionlist of WinExpose and works, but certainly the trafficlights are on the right now.

EDIT2: Forgot to say. Very promissing app.

Yet another thing... :P sorry about all the feature requests hey

In Leopard, when a window can't be maximised or minimized the button/icon stays there. With this app you removed it completely.

top = leopard
bottom = Raats System Prefs

I second the bug, I had this as well. I couldn't understand why it didnt shut off :lol:

btw bjorn, can you please thumbnail the screenshot or something? I'm having to load the thing every time I come on this page. :)

EDIT2: The font is looking better too, matonga!

Would it be possible to skin itunes 8 with AMM? You added them by default to the exclusion list but if I delete them itunes still shows no effect. Is this due to beta state or is it not possible to skin apple apps?

iTunes and Safari need separate apps for skinning. In first place, this is because they use a theme different to any Windows Visual Style I know.

By now you have SafariMinMax for Safari... I hadn't enough time to write an iTunes one but maybe some time later... I can't promise it because I don't use iTunes myself, and I'm mostly after my career, my job and some freelancer projects now :( (say, I love to write freebies, but I need to eat too, hahaha, and I don't want to charge for these apps, I have even kindly rejected donation offers because of this, I hope you understand).

Mmm... newer version (to be published soon) uses different technique and seems to be more bullet-proof too. I'll ask you to check again, once after I upload it (probably between this afternoon and tomorrow).

Yes, I´ll test it, But is it just me and yorkey? I´m on a standart XP SP3 pro here.

Oh one thing. With True transparency you get a 1px border around the windows. With AMM the border is wider (2px). Can you change this?

AMM doesn't put borders around the windows, it just modifies the titlebar (in effect, it puts another borderless window on top of the original titlebar). I can do nothing about the 1px border around windows. Maybe I'll implement this by the end of this year (if I get good results with my career in the mean time).

Edit

BTW just published newer version which should be more stable.

Also forgot to include Theme folder in previous versions, maybe people was getting access violation errors on startup because of this... :P

This application is shaping up very nice indeed. I can't wait until you add new features mentioned on Page 1. Keep up the good work dude.
