You could use ObjectBar for this. It allows you to display the title of the active window as well as sending Close/Minimize/Restore commands to the active window. And it also got builtin autohide function, so all you need to do is add the text element to contain the title text, the buttons and the skin to go with it. I think you can even embed DesktopX objects into ObjectBar if you should require that.

The Mac reflection effect does look great. I'd love to see it in OD too. However, I do believe that it is more difficult than easy. We'll have to wait and see. After SD put blurred translucency on WB skins in XP I believe they can do anything. Their voodoo is powerful!

I got every version of IE since v3 installed on Virtual PC's for webdesign testing. Other than that I never touch the binary heap of junk. (Though IE7 is a great improvement.)

I normally use photoshop and make the image 3-4 times bigger than the max size of the icon (256x256), then resize it to 256x256 and save it. Then I open it up in your icon program and it does all the resizing for me, and puts it in icon format. A large icon requires more detail than an a small icon. 16x16 sized icons will end up as a blob if you simply resize. Resizing an image from 256x256 to 128x128 to 64x64 etc is one thing because they are all tw

The problem is worse when Vista is displaying 96x96 icons because resampling a 256x256 icons will make the pixels fall out of the pixel grid and make the icon look blurry. And 256x256 is so large that you need to add more detail to it, but those details doesn't always look that great when they get sampled down to 96x96 or 64x64. So whereas before you could create an icon that's look as it should for it size, Vista now takes that away. I really do not understand why Vista won't

I was making some icons the other day for a gadget I'm working on. And to my frustration Vista didn't seem use use any icons larger than 48x48, even though I had very size uptil 256x256. I had created every variation in Illustrator, not just resized one image. I found that to make Vista use the 256x256 icon I had to compress it. However, the default icon size you see on Vista is 96x96, so when Vista uses the 256x256 image it becomes fuzzy where you have straight lines because s

Microsoft has silently release Windows Script 5.7. There isn't much info to find about it, except lots of people wondering what the changes are. Fortunately Don Raman from the JScript development team made a little post on their blog. Turns out it mostly bugfixes, but especially in regards to AJAX applications. It's recommended that you update to this latest version if you've experience performance issues with AJAX applications (e.g. Gmail). Windows Script is also the scrip

#3 The new Start menu. Love the new Start Search. Kudos. Don't love the Start menu navigation which wants to exist in a fixed window. The example screenshot shows Microsoft's own apps being cut off. For those of us who liked to seriously organize our Start menu items into categories and such, this new start menu option is a huge pain. I used to organize the old start menu. But that was because it was so hard to find the program you where looking for

I bought my computer from Dell four years ago. After that I've bought the components when friends/family has asked me to sort out a computer for them. My last computer I got myself was one I won as part of a contest. Case, mobo, RAM and gfx card. I just had to add the last parts myself. My Mac Mini I bought is somewhat annoying as it doesn't have a WLAN card and there's NO SCREWS to open the damn thing with. Apparently I need to crawl to an Apple store to get it fixed unless I want

I'm not sure if you can do that with yahoo or hotmail accounts. If it does you'll need to find the address to the POP3 server. It'd basicly be the same as setting up en email client, like Outlook Express. Have a look at the help or support information, or FAQ to see if POP3 is supported by your email account.

Where about in Norway are you? Hope you're not near where we got flooding atm. As for your Connection, not sure there's much anyone here can do. I'd suggest you locate an internet cafe as they should have a reliable internet connection.

Problem is; whenever you get #3 and you ask what's wrong you usually get a #5. If you pursue that you get #10. ("You'd know if you really cared."). You're then standing there, stomped, trying to figure out what the hell you've done. Or at least what she thinks you've done. It's them a matter of going though the usual checklist until you get a response.
