Hi Bob,

> It's not SP3 and it's not true that the DQSD can't be moved at all.

What Kim is saying is that DQSD cannot be separated from the windows
deskbar. It must reside within your deskbar (the same region as the
start menu and system tray) or there may be issues, especially after you
reboot.

While it can usually function fine if you drag the toolbar from the
deskbar to another edge of the screen, separate from the start menu, and
use it there. It will need to be placed back in the deskbar before you
reboot or it may not work correctly on the next boot.

The code I wrote to better handle multi-line taskbars has not been added
to the DQSD package yet. Kim released before I was able to make the time
to ensure that it was all clean and working to commit my changes. :(


However, I had once personally been very interested in having the DQSD
bar as one row on the deskbar, and while I have no resolution for it, I
was able to accomplish what I really wanted (multiline clock & multiline
DQSD entry and the inclusion of the quick-launch toolbar on the deskbar)
by changing the "clock short form" to be:
  clockshortform = " EEEE \r\n MMM dd, yyyy \r\n hh:mm A ";
This inserts carriage returns into the time/date at the "\r\n" - so you
could use them somewhere else if you prefer.


I've got a bit of catch-up to to do today, but will try to commit the
multiline changes tonight or tomorrow.

Regards,

Shawn K. Hall
