Hmmm, hopefully this post will be approved???

I tried to post some blackbox screen shots I have on imagebam but it appears this forum doesn't like this site?? :o[/quote]
Yes, I have approved your recent post.

Thanks for joining.

I use ImageBam.com for all my screenshots ... don't know what the problem was that you had encountered.

I'd say try posting the bb-screenshot again.

I have done so :)

I don't think there is such a list of 7 woes here.
My build of choice is nocd5's BBLeanMod and Windows 7 simply refused to load it, either as a stand-alone program (running over Explorer) or as a shell, asking me to terminate the program. Same went with Cameo, which is supposed to work with 7 (and seemed to work for others), BBClean and BBWinMod. Actually, Cameo did work over Explorer, at least for some time, but none could be set as shell.

For me, a new built must, above all, be compatible with Windows 7.

Is there a list/post somewhere here on the forums that summarizes what all the Win 7 compatibility issues are?

A few of them that I recall from last time I worked on it were
[list][*]The new tray icons actually getting loaded
[*]The new tray icons positioning their popups correctly relative to the displayed tray
[*]Having the background actually update when set through display properties while BB is the active shell[/list]

One of the more technical issues that I don't know if any of the shells have resolved it yet are handling RUN_ONCE start-up items in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE when UAC is enabled, as the shell does not have the neccesary permissions to remove them after running them. Explorer is *somehow* able to make this work, but I never could in a BB shell.

Thanks for making a post about this in the OpenSUSE Forums.

About the only Linux OS-distro forum that I did not make a post in. I'm not a member there (I don't know RPM)

Any and all, help is appreciated. =D>

[quote="pitkon"]Blackbox needs developers desperately.[/quote]

Hi
I help out on the openSUSE and Novell forums (SuSE Linux Enterprise) as well as packaging on the OpenBuild Service. I've recently packaged up blackbox (including some patches/fixes) so it now builds on openSUSE 11.4 and SLE 11 SP1. I'm not a coder as such, just to patch/hack for building....

@ pitkon

Saw your recent posts about this on DeviantArt Blackbox-Group.

We'll have to bring in some new members and/or developers - sooner or later. :P [i] I see interest brewing.[/i]

[quote="jdevil"]sounds to me like merging of code could satisfy most of the demands :wink:[/quote]
Exactly :)

[quote="pitkon"][quote="jdevil"]btw, is there anyone else we can discuss together with, about new feature or concepts?[/quote]
You can e-mail me, if you wish pitkon@otenet.gr about new features, and everyone who reads this can chip in here.
For me, a new built must, above all, be compatible with Windows 7.
It MUST support split gradients, volume, icons and separators on the menu, outline text as in BBLeanMod, and perhaps some new goodies like gradient borders?[/quote]

[quote="pitkon"]Jdevil, do you think you could give it a go? I mean use source Blackbox files to build something new?[/quote]

I've been diving into bbLean for several days, found nothing good to do yet.
