And the windowlabel on the left of bbleanbar says 7.11 [edit] Neeever mind. I had alpha value on 8. _________________ My blackbox styles "Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong

And the windowlabel on the left of bbleanbar says 7.11 on a style change, the bbLeanBar+ background _will_ turn transparent, bbIconBox+ requires an extra step - adjust the Window\|AlphaValue downwards bbLean 7.11 is to distinguish it from the bbLean 1.16 series (& from bbLean 1.17 itself). There are certain enhancements that arise when the bbLean series number is higher than 1.16 _________________ HTH unkamunka - #bb4win

It opens up some interesting possibilities with styling bbleanbar. [feature request] Icon spacing and possibly icon labels in bbiconbox... _________________ My blackbox styles "Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong

Not sure about your set-up, but for me - on a hi-spec box - IconBoxes tend to eat resources like there's no tomorrow. Customisable icon spacing is probably do-able. Labels for each icon would appear to require much space & making a mouseover features in the TitleBar would seem to be much the same as Tooltips. Is there another possibility here that you could add? _________________ HTH unkamunka - #bb4win

I haven't noticed any resource issues with iconbox, though it takes a while to render a lot of folder/files for me at bb's startup. I'm wondering if there's any way to put some kind of invisible bounding box around the text in bbleanbar+'s tasks, to make them easier to click when the background is transparent... Also, leanbar/desktop margin seems to be zero when background is trans. Here's something you couldn't do previously... _________________ My blackbox styles "Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong

Also, leanbar/desktop margin seems to be zero when background is trans. An invisible bounding box - by definition - would not be able to accept clicks. The practical alternative - for transparent backgrounds - is to have icons available to click on The margin part of the Tasks interface "disappears" with transparent backgrounds. There is no change to the code that actually draws the margin _________________ HTH unkamunka - #bb4win

RocketDock also has a layering system for allowing apps to selectively handle the "always on top" aspect...... From a quick look at the GUI, I suspect that the underlying codebase is quite different from MingW & _may_ even not be OpenSource. _________________ HTH unkamunka - #bb4win

Something about font shadows that definitely breaks compatibility with bbstylemaker. _________________ My blackbox styles "Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." - Erica Jong

First, it would be more handy to load winxmove as plugin, but not as independent program (and how the hell it appears at system startup??). And second - exclude-list is a must, bcouse ALT is high-usage key in many win apps (e.g. photoshop). p.s. thanks for a great work!
