Re: Changes to Drawers? [was: Re: Tiger's on the pBook]

Preview still uses drawers, it's specifically Mail that's lost the  
drawer completely; they haven't changed how drawers are generally  
implemented so other apps still have the choice.

Is it only Mail that's lost its flexibility? (I also keep my drawer on
the right.) What about apps like Preview (for example), which in  
Panther

can have their drawers on either left or right?

Hi Reg, it doesn't seem to offer the drop down list of 'Perths'  
initially, you have to give it a few minutes - then Delete Perth from  
the Field, then re-type. You're cooking with gas once you're  
activated the drop down list basically (or at least, that's how it  
worked for me).


Cheers,
Tobes.

Reg,

After you type in "Perth, Australia" or "Perth, Western Australia"  
into the back of the widget, make sure you type "enter", instead of  
just clicking on the "OK" button straight away. It's say "validating"  
or verifying or something. That seems to make the difference.

quite simple really - just turn the widget around by clicking the  
bottom-right corner and make sure you enter *Perth, Western  
Australia* in the appropriate space and hit  and it will chug  
off and find the *real* Perth for you; you can click on  to  
turn the widget around again and it shows it's wet/raining and 19º  
having been as cool as 12ºC but as warm as 24ºC.


Also how can I put mailboxes on rhs of Mail window? It seems it's

…not sure about that bit; maybe it's not possible as it's no longer a  
drawer?

Hi Reg

The weather is a strange one. All I did to change it was flip the widget
round (use the little 'I' in the bottom right corner). Then type Perth and
it will give you a list of "perth's" I did "Geraldton" just now and got it
work fine. You don't actually need to go to the website at all, it does it
all from the widget. :o)

My "polite" method? Hmm,...it was meant to be nice,..did I say something
wrong? 

Let me know if it doesn't work. :o)

Enjoy!

Kind Regards
Daniel
