Especially for the tabs the xp style is very important because at the moment it is very difficult to see which one is the active tab. At least with the default blue xp style. With the classic style this is not so extreme.

By the way: When I switch between the classic and the xp style I always have to reset the color of the tabs. It would be nice if there would be an option to have always the default tabs colors. The other colors are no problem.

No time for this now, but add it to the wishes section...

Yeah, I like the blue stuff, too

I think it worked just because I haven't changed the system properties like free wrote above.

I hope you mean the color things and not styling the last missing buttons and the tabs.

This was just a little fun experiment... the main BETA line is still without XP-styles. I'll come back to it when I have some time...

    + Image load time is now shown in image preview's info section.
    ! "Track..." entry appeared twice in shell context menu under WinME 
      and probably Win98, too. Fixed. Uncheck and recheck the checkbox in 
      Configuration/General to remove double entries if you got them.

The tabs look much better now. But they still differ a lot from XP tabs. XP tabs are higher, have rounded corners, have dark borders on all sides and have a hover effect.
Just look at the tabs of the properties menu of files. Don't you think the tabs look a lot of smarter? I don't know if all tab properties are possible. But I think that the dark borders are very important.

Correct

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.00.0089, 20-may-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.00.0089 - 20.05.05 19:37
    + Find Files, Name & Location: added checkbox "Boolean logic". Now 
      you have to check this box to use Boolean operators like "&", "|", 
      "!", "(", ")", " and ", " or ", "not ". Leaving it unchecked allows 
      you to use these characters in the search term without escaping them 
      by a prefixed "\".
      Note that this has nothing to do with wildcards (*?#).
      For example, find all files with something parenthesized in the 
      name ("Exact match" off):
        "Boolean logic" off:  (*)
        "Boolean logic" on:   \(*\)
    % Improved the quality of image preview by using a better shrinking 
      algorithm. The preview is now much smoother (just like the 
      thumbsnails already are), which is especially notable when you 
      preview line drawings (which is why I did it). Drawback: loading 
      an image into preview takes about 2x longer now, but I think it's 
      worth it.
    ! Changing the state of "Include subfolders" and "Follow folder 
      links" checkboxes was not remembered between sessions when done on 
      a finding tab. Fixed.

Correct

No more comment? Is it not possible? Or is it too heavy or just too time-consuming?

Ok, here's a (little bit) longer answer

: of course I know that the "XP tabs" are different from TrackerV3's tabs, I'm not blind

And, of course, I think that TrackerV3's tabs look cooler than XP's tabs, otherwise I would redesign them. So, everything is in perfect harmony

OK, now everything is clear

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.00.0101, 25-may-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.00.0101 - 25.05.05 09:24
    + Added command menu View/Sort By/Random Order. It does what it 
      says: shuffle the list view.
      I like it so much that I gave it its own keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+R 
      (was "Toggle Favorite File" before). Press it repeatedly to keep 
      on shuffling!      
      Now TrackerV3 brings order or chaos -- your choice.
