If you're using it you could have the following problems: -1) Since patch #6.3 the "maximized windows" options work. You could have previously checked the option "Override default size and position" leaving the size fields to a value of "0" (zero). This hadn't any effect with the previous versions since the feature hadn't yet been implemented, but now, when maximizing a window you'll see it disappear from the screen since you are forcing maximized windows to a size of 0 x 0 pizel. Just disable the option if you do not need it or set the size and position spinbutton to suit your needs. -2) When disabling Smart Windows, the superlassed window procedure is still active and keeps track of some events in case you re-enable it later. A future release will offer a better "disabling" function. In the meantime, if you are experiencing problems with some application, add its executable name to the general exceptions list (it is on the 3rd page of the preferences notebook). This way the superclassed window procedures are completely disabled and the application should be able to work correctly. for bug report, feature request or informations: alexcant@tin.it http://acsoft.ghostbbs.ml.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
