Finished Programs / SOLVED: Win7 - custom taskbar groupings

« on: December 25, 2009, 03:32 AM »

I usually run several applications that are of the same type, but have different icons that I want to group under the same preview/group.
Unfortunately, windows7 does not support this.

I think it would be easiest to modify the existing object code/hooks and allow drag and drop merging, but some kind of right click option addition or static config file that defines a group and specifies an icon would also work quite well.


What are your thoughts on the idea?

DesktopCoral / Re: Windows7 Aero snap conflicts

Extremely annoying that MS does not have a hook to allow disabling this feature temporarily!

Looks like I will just disable the windows7 flavor and download an ahk program that succeeds where they fail.

DesktopCoral / Windows7 Aero snap conflicts

« on: December 22, 2009, 01:30 AM »

I hate to be one of those persons that takes software written for one OS and applies it to another and mentions possible improvements, but today I am.


Setup:
A. Windows7 x32
B. Coral Process running in Compatibility mode for WinXp SP3 as Admin


I noticed that dragging a screen over the reserved area triggers window7's aero snap feature when the mouse drag point nears the edge of the reserved area of Coral. Aero snap also behaves properly and feeds the gui out of the reserved area and along the side of the coral area it was attempting to doc to.

I propose that adding an override to the program to prevent aero snap from triggering by listening to a modifier key (shift/alt/ctrl) would be great. This would allow for windows7 users to easily place gui's within the doc area without any other patch solution.


Happy coding and thanks for reading my suggestion.
