DesktopCoral / Transparency, a way to refresh

« on: May 19, 2005, 04:49 PM »

Hi

Eh, suggestion for next version, if not already tackled, a way to refresh the snapshot DC takes to make it look transparent, if taskbar is changed from autohide to always show or vice versa, there's a very visible tear between DC and the rest of the desktop as a result of background shifting.

edit:. oops, just noticed it gone again... Does it refresh automagically time to time?

DesktopCoral / It doesnt retain position and transparancy between sessions

« on: May 15, 2005, 02:05 PM »

Hi,

New user here, found this yesterday hunting for a solution to keep my ObjectBar from being covered by windows or vice versa. Only got one problem. Desktop Coral refuses to retain its set position, size and transparancy, I need to set it to the desired size/location/transparancy each time I log in...

any ideas to overcome this?

edit: another problem is that if a program isn't started maximized, it is still possible for that program to cover the 'corral' when it is launched, similar to the problem of having the taskbar visible at the top of the screen and programs often opening with the caption covered by the taskbar, although this is strictly a Windows problem, it would be nice if the Desktop Coral would force any window overlaping it to resize so it nolonger covers the 'corral'. (If memory serves me right, there should be a winAPI that sets the dimensions of the actually available desktop area....? )
