Displaced Rename Box
Is it just me or is the Edit Box in Rename Mode slightly displaced?

Re: Displaced Rename Box
Its left margin is 2 pixels more to the left than in previous versions, because I enlarged the inner left+right margins by 2 pixels each. I like it that way. The icon is overlapped by 1 pixel, but who cares.bergfex wrote:Is it just me or is the Edit Box in Rename Mode slightly displaced?

PS: Looks exactly as in Explorer here, apart from Explorer's inner margin is 3 pixels, hence the name moves 1 pixel to the right when opening the rename box.

Re: Displaced Rename Box
Based on the screenshot compare above, I'd agree that old vers looks much better! The new one is just looks out of place compared to WinExpl and other similar products...bergfex wrote:Well, not really polished language, but on my computer it doesn't look that good too.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Took me a minute to realize that you use Windows Classic Theme!bergfex wrote:Well, not really polished language, but on my computer it doesn't look that good too.erazzzzer wrote:it really looks like shit

A "feature" I really liked was the fact that if I was in rename mode and switched to another application, the edit box was still open when I returned to XY.
Don, did you change it because this behavior is unusual for file managers (WinExplorer, DO, SC and X² leave rename mode when switching to another application), didn't you like it, or is it just related to Windows Classic Theme again?

Neither. It's a consequence of the technology I'm now using to create the rename box. Sorry, but that "feature" is gone.bergfex wrote:A "feature" I really liked was the fact that if I was in rename mode and switched to another application, the edit box was still open when I returned to XY.
