Oh, my, that window preview is sweet!

Window preview is not adapted to taskbar on the left/right of the screen.
The first couple of previews are overflowing at the top of the screen.
Solution: Render the preview beside the buttons or at the bottom of the button if there is not enough space on top of the button.

Could you post a capture? I've loaded up the DF bar and the previews stay nice an tidy...

I'll be testing it today. I have a feeling my previous problems stemmed from Google Talk. Beyond not flashing when a chat comes in (which is rough), it feels like it's causing the locks. I'll let you know how the new one goes.

The previews are not showing on my primary monitor. Is this the expected result?

Also the previews do not appear to be compatible with http://www.pidgin.im/.
I am attaching a screenshot of what I am seeing.

The taskbar icon dragging is not enabled on my primary monitor. It is working on my secondary monitor however.

Just a note about the button title text popping up. It often overlays the actual button (see first attachment). The regular Windows taskbar keeps the text above the button (second attachment). When the new (and cool) thumb-views are added, it gets quite busy...

Personally, I'd prefer the option to turn off the popup text descriptions.. never had a use for them...

Great implementation of drag and drop reordering!
I have a little software called Taskix to do roughly the same thing on the Windows taskbar.
However, I set my DF taskbar to be a clone of the Windows one and when I reorder the Windows buttons, The DF taskbar isn't updated. Do I have to say that I would love to have this feature...

I think for consistency, if possible, the advanced features available for the DF taskbar should be replicated to the windows taskbar. It's not such a bother for me--I've been using third part apps to get windows previews on XP, and the ability to reorder taskbar items before DF. But I could see plenty of people asking why DF doesn't offer those features on the windows taskbar.


I think this is pretty typical with GTK software. I'm not sure even Vista can display previews for them.

Jon,

Yesterday was the first time I have made it through a day without the application crashing. I am hopeful that the changes you made have solved my issue. I will continue to monitor it.

At this point, eyes probably need to be focused on W7 anyway. I wouldn't expecttoomuch effort be put towards all the extra 'niceties' for XP when w7 is a much tougher nut to crack...

It may be just me, just CTRL WIN E maximizes and switches screens instead of being proportional - same functionality as CRTL WIN D

Just grabbed. Will post results in a day or so.

The issue with the DF taskbar freezing has returned in this build.
