And white means ________?
One minimizes windows; the other zooms them (between the user's favourite size and the manufacturer's default size). It's not difficult. Took me less than a second to understand.
I see that our friend at xvsxp.com has put a load of new stuff in which is oddly, enough responding to complaints you've made here. Have you been hassling him?Only feebs vote.Comment

I sent him a few e-mails.
It turns out he basically relies on all of his XP knowledge on what people tell him alone.
He's still making tons of ****ups, like not being able to tell apart MDI and MTI interfaces. Then he compares an MDI (Photoshop) with MTI (Excel) and says they're inconsistent.

This thread is great. It actually forced me to clean up, and re-arrange my desktop. Plus, it introduced me to the art of Greg Martin.

Where does he compare Photoshop with Excel? I don't believe I've seen that.
Anyway post another desktop. Don't you run Linux? No one has put up a pic of that yet as far as I remember.Only feebs vote.Comment

If you say so. I thought he dug himself deeper by proving just how little he knows what he's talking about.

This is listed under his list of "limitations" for the Taskbar. It's labeled "inconsistent treatment of Taskbar labels for MDI windows". The thing is, of course, Excel is not an MDI Window.
There are 3 main types of Windows applications: SDI (Notepad, Paint), MDI (Photoshop, etc), and MTI (Office 2000/XP, GiMP, etc).
This guy, in his infinite wisdom, doesn't seem to know MTIs exist,and clump them up with MDIs, then says there isn't a consistent MDI interface.

Whoo, I am not the only one who uses pngcrush.
. It's a useful program. I crush almost all PNGs I put online nowadays - ten percent shaved off from filesize is a great help to those with less capable connections (including me since my upstream is generally saturated by the donkey)...
BTW, since I moved to evilwm, here are some new screenshots... the first four virtual desktops at some indeterminate point of time yesterday

http://www.lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~lighte...tdesktop2c.png - mozilla
http://www.lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~lighte...tdesktop3c.png - gimp (I hadn't figured import(1) out myself at that time)
http://www.lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~lighte...tdesktop4c.png - blank (this is what my screen looks like when I start X up)
Now do you think a random by-goer would be able to operate my computer
?
