TC & large icons: 2nd. test... [Edit]

Post by *Clo »

:D Hello!
First test: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=2686
I made a second test under Win XP-Pro:
  • I made an empty file named <large.bar>
    I saved the bars files (1 bar with 32*32 icons), and the <wincmd.ini> file in a sub-dir
    I commented the [Buttonsbar] section in wincmd ini. This through the network from another PC.
    On the spot, I launched TC: none button-bar, of course.
    I attempted to use my empty bar to configure 48*48 icons... Impossible, TC wants for use in first <default.bar> which its creates.
    I configured that default bar using originals 48*48, that works.
    I closed TC.
    Through the network again, I patched all this caboodle to get finally:

- <large.bar> containing the 48*48 icons config., and the corresponding <large.br1> containing binary for it (bar #2)
- the original saved <default.bar> 32*32 icons config. and its <default.br1> binary (bar #1).
- I added the <large.bar> in the button-config., with icons to change bar #1><bar #2
:cry: - The same feature-lacuna than in the first test occurs: only one icon size can be displayed. In this case, the chosen size is <32>, hence the large icons are reduced to this size; the opposite if you set <48>.
¤ Its very annoying... That doesn't allow to have two different bars following the needs (for instance, changing the screen definition).
:roll: The one way I think is to use backup sub-dirs, and to change the bar-files and <wincmd.ini> by two batch files (set><reset). But it's limited: we could get either ONE bar as 32*32, or ONE bar as 48*48... Moreover, the problem of natives 48*48 under Win 9x is not solved...
¤ Please Mr. Ghisler, could you improve this?
Best regards,
Claude

I Test icons display in buttonbar. the result is
  • 1.Best icons display is only in 32x32
    2.all buttonbar include subbar only display in same size, can't switch 32x32 to 48x48 or 48x48 to 32x32 freely.
    3.if set icons size to 48x48, icons like zoom from 32x32 , not really 48x48 .
    4.48x48 can set in win98, but icon seem like zoom from 32x32 too.

:) Thank you very much for these tests!
They confirm that the icon-size feature might be improved a lot...
:oops: (I just posted a new topic about a "hot" subject too! I would like to know your opinion, please...)
