Category: UI Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: V3.9.1 Win98SE minor glitches Initial Comment: Dave's DeskBar v3.9.1 Downloaded directly from Dave's Website 02/26/2005. Dave DeskBar v3.9.1 OS: Win98SE Browser: MS IE 6.0 Offine when I click the >>> on Dave's DB a pop-up menu repeatedly (15 times or so) pops up for about .?? of a second and at that point takes over my system (PC). When I press the (3 finger salute) Ctrl-Alt-Del keys repeatedly (5-7 times) the list of running programs will then pop up and apparently MS IE 6.0 is running even though I am offline. I was able to get this pop-up menu to display so I could read it and it has a number of categories like "The Weather Underground" (A weather forecast website)... I'd like to change these or not use any at all depending. I did eventually get this pop-up menu for a time to stay displayed on my Win98SE desktop so I could read it and use it. I went right to the Preferences option and via that modified the localPrefs.js file. Only changed the address to my own (don't want the default one in my PC), the amount of delay the clock is updated from every second to every 5 seconds (it's not important to me that the clock be atomically correct) because I worry that might slow down my system (however little), the help (?) so that it is always available. The (?) help key always says "Generating file..". Does that mean the help file is re-created each time I press the ? help key? I don't like that. Too much disk activity. Much prefer the help file is pre-written and is merely displayed, and if it already is maybe you might consider having the message say "Loading Help file...". All in all I like your program. Hey, anybody with the da*n good sense to write their own software is one smart person and A-OK in my book. Features I'd enjoy seeing in possible future updates would be: Customizable so that user *could* if they chose to add any search engine to the DeskBar that they like. I've been wanting to try out Dogpile(c) (cause I like the name so much) and who knows what else is out there and what else is likely to come along. Other than that you've done a pretty darn good job on it and as I said, I LIKE IT! If you should need anyone to help debug/beta test for Win98SE I can be reached 24/7 at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll admit I'm a bit frank and will say what I think but only to help you make the program as good as you can for you, me and everyone else who might use it. In the event the nobody said it to you let me say it - Thanks for taking the time and putting the work into writing the program. I *DO* appreciate it. I know how time consuming and draining debugging a program can be and too many people just take it for granted that it's a simple 1-2-3 type of job. Peace.
