Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
If there's a utility for it, then it's more than a rev/vista problem. Bob On Jul 29, 2010, at 4:10 PM, Neal Campbell wrote: > Try googling it.

Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
Try googling it. I think there are utilities that can restore the lost Start Orb. Try www.thewindowsclub.com, I think they have one.

Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I believe "the fullscreen" doesn't hide the taskbar, it just lays the stack over the top of everything corner to corner. I've done similar in the past to switch a browser stack in and out of pseudo fullscreen mode. Have an empty stack that gets fullscreened, then put the browserstack on top of it, as well as any other stacks. Since revbrowser apparently can't switch window id on the fly, and fullscreening changes the windowid, this gets around the problem. fullscreen the empty stack, pop the main stack back up and set its rect to whatever you want it to be. The main windows can also be pallettes so they're always on top of the stack you are going to fullscreen. (And I think setting the raisewindows to true works on windows in addition to osx right?) Kinda a pain in the tookus to get it all working together nicely, but last time I did it, it ended up working pretty well.

Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
Aye, but it only happens in Vista and not in Windows XP. So obviously they are doing something different. I'd be curious to see if it happens in Windows 7 as well, and with different graphics cards etc. Unfortunately I have neither Windows 7 nor Vista at this point. The whole device driver signing thing scared me away.

It's more likely a Rev + Vista problem since weren't able to reproduce the problem with, for example, PowerPoint which can also hide the taskbar. And in my tests, the Start button remains intact on XP.

(not tested) Thanks for the suggestion but stacks positioned around taskbar don't appear to force any refresh (even tried a systemWindow stack). Guess I'll use brute force mouse repositioning. I have the interval set at 10 millisecs and it seems pretty unnoticeable. Lame, but FWIW: command restoreVistaStartButton put screenRect() into tRect put item 1 of tRect + 20,item 4 of tRect - 20 into tLoc put the screenMouseLoc into origLoc set the screenMouseLoc to tLoc wait 10 millisecs with messages set the screenMouseLoc to origLoc end restoreVistaStartButton Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX Design ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
There is another option: Round up the developers of Vista and publicly flog them with wet brooms soaked in tuna fish oil. Does anyone seriously think that Microsoft uses their own software? I will bet good money that the developers at Microsoft do not *actually* use their own operating system. If they did, they would not put up with a tenth of the weird bugs we deal with every day. If anyone knows for certain that I am wrong I sure would like to know.

Re: Restore Windows Start Button?
Scott, Make a almost transparent tiny stack with no decorations, float it over the start button, it should force windows GUI subsystem to repaint that thing right?
