The Metro/IE10 UI makes perfect sense on my phone ...(kinda)... and is mind blowingly annoying on a desktop.-Stoic Joker (October 27, 2011, 11:39 AM)
Is it possible to make the buttons transparent? The idea would be to create all the graphics for the buttons in one large single background image - all carefully arranged, of course, so that the positions matched the transparent buttons above.I've been experimenting with that a few weeks back,-nudone (October 11, 2011, 03:51 PM)-Ath (October 11, 2011, 05:08 PM)

a real milestone.
Long live Firefox!+1, that's a good reason to avoid IE like the plague-dantheman (October 15, 2011, 06:46 AM)
Eh, what? I always had the impression it was slow due to being Java based.That is another reason, and why I wrote it this wayamongst things-Ath (October 13, 2011, 02:01 PM)-f0dder (October 13, 2011, 03:09 PM)
The solution is to put the driver packages back and I need access to the winsxs and FileRepository folders.Have you tried putting the harddisk as a secondary disk in another Win7 system, so it isn't booted from, just a data-disk? Then the permissions should be less stringent, and allow you to add the missing files.-Carol Haynes (October 13, 2011, 02:52 PM)
But I read a lot of really bad comments about it (slow, buggy)...How recent are those comments? If over 1.5 years, then disregard them, as then Eclipse was slow and buggy, because of, amongst things, migration to Vista/Win7.-highend01 (October 12, 2011, 06:05 AM)
except for the slight timelag caused by the fact that I've put a 2 second delay on itI'm using a loop delay of 0.1 second in WinButtons, and I don't see much cpu load while it's running, but that could be my system, as I'm running it on an i7-860 (quad-core with HT, so 8 virtual CPU's-oblivion (October 12, 2011, 05:05 PM)

and this might be a bit too radicleMaybe so, but it would need a totally different approach anyway. Maybe something to consider for that re-write-nudone (October 11, 2011, 04:49 PM)

That locks out multiple-state buttonsThat is another feature I've been thinking about, maybe semi-transparent colors for each state would work, will be in the same test as above I guess-cranioscopical (October 11, 2011, 04:35 PM)
Maybe it's just something to consider if you do a rewrite of the program.What I started a month ago has been 'postponed' for now, as I decided it's better not done in Delphi 7. My original, rather ambitious, plan of re-doing it in wpf/c# (back in March/April, geez was it that long ago?) is much more likely to succeed, but it's probably not going to happen before 2012 is on the calendar.-nudone (October 11, 2011, 03:51 PM)
