Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Tallent (richardtallent) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Change adjusts size instead of location Initial Comment: When the user changes display resolution, adds or removes a tray icon, or changes the tray clock visibility, the DQSD bar adjusts its size to retain its Left position. This behavior makes the user's life more difficult by requiring them to constantly adjust the toolbar to restore the width they prefer. A better behavior would be for the toolbar to preserve its width (instead of its Left position) when the toolbar size or tray icon count change, retaining, for example, the date/time format and menu button visibility as the user has set them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Shawn K.

If you use DQSD more frequently than the start menu anyway (I do), then place the DQSD bar beside the start button on the left side of your taskbar and it will not resize - only the right-most toolbars are subject to resizing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2002-12-03 11:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18127 I deal with this when I have to change to a lower resolution by simply double clicking on the gripper or 'shoe' of the bar. This maximizes the bar while I use it. Then I double-click it again to minimize it. Not a great solution, but I'm happy enough with it not to have dug into the mods necessary to force to a fixed width. I'd encourage someone else to dig in if they have time.

If so, that may be a goiod indicator of the user being the sizer). I would have marked this as a Feature Request but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Glenn Carr (glenncarr) Date: 2002-12-02 14:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18127 I agree with the inconvenience (it would be really nice to force it to maintain a minimum width, especially when changing resolutions), but unfortunately, thus is the life of a toolbar in the Windows taskbar. AFAIK, there's no way to programatically change the width of a taskbar toolbar or even keep it a const width without some serious hijinks. But, we're already performing some stunts with the keyboard bindings, so maybe it's a possibility... Will? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=432069&aid=647287&group_id=42081 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
