Tooltip delay and appearance tweaking

vertigo 6 years ago 0

I tried to find a registry tweak or program or something to reduce the delay between hovering on a taskbar button and showing the tooltip (there's a very short delay for the preview, which I think can be adjusted, and then another ~1 second delay before the tooltip appears above the thumbnail) but wasn't able to find anything except a bunch of other people trying to figure out the same thing. I wonder if this is something 7+TT could do since it hooks into the system, in which case that would be a really nice feature. Another thing some people were trying to do, but that doesn't seem possible through "normal" means, is adjusting the text/font size of the tooltips.

Advanced Settings button

vertigo 6 years ago 0

I think there should be a button in the UI for advanced settings, or maybe within the settings window. I've been using this program for years and didn't even realize it had those extra capabilities. I realize I would have known had I read the help file, but being a relatively advanced user (hence the desire to use advanced settings) I never needed to and so never bothered. It seems ironic that those who are most likely to want them are those that are least likely to look at help and discover their existence. If the reason for burying them is so basic users don't screw stuff up, there could just be a warning when entering into them and the option for them to be hidden (so someone setting it up for someone else could hide them).

Display date on the tray clock on small-size taskbar

Simon Berg 6 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 6 years ago 1

Add an option to display today's date on the tray clock even when the taskbar is resized to it's smallest size. Display time and date in two lines on top of each other, in a smaller font than the default time display so that the date display does not use more screen estate.

Purge tray icon of killed applications

Anonymous 6 years ago 0

When a process is force killed (via Task Manager or taskkill /f) the tray icon would be left behind until I move mouse cursor over them one-by-one. It's not really a big deal but the list could grow long when having a scheduled task to kill / restart some applications.


Is it possible for 7TT to purge those "dead" icons?

It would be really cool to have two lined program labels in the taskbar. Like:


Mozilla Firefox

Microsoft Word does not switch to an open document when that document double-clicked in Windows Explorrer

Mr K Smith 6 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 6 years ago 1

This irritating characteristic - if I've a document loaded already, then, when I try to open the document from Explorer, surely that document should appear as the top windows - may well owe to Word rather than the Tweaker. Still, given the impossibility of fixing bugs and infelicities in Office, perhaps the Tweaker could work around this problem.


I've Office 2013.

Answer

Office apps in general, and Word in particular, have a number of non-standard user experience behavior. Here's another example. I don't plan to work around these issues with the tweaker.

Minimize and restore with mouse wheel and then the window unsnaps

ANOM 6 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 5 years ago 5

Hi I think I found a bug and this is really annoying.


How to reproduce this bug:

1. turn minimize/restore with mouse wheel option on.

2. open a window.

3. aero snap the window to the left.

4. minimize and then restore with mouse wheel.

5. window is still snapped to the left.

6. unsnap the window.

7. repeat 4.

8. snap the window to the left again.

9. repeat 4.

10. now the window is restored AND UNSNAPPED.


Well this does not happen all the time, but it actually does.


I am still trying to find the exact condition this happens.


I experienced this mostly with IE and windows explorer window.


Any idea why this happens? Thanks.


p.s. This program is super great anyway.

Answer

I couldn't reproduce the issue. Even if I'll be able to reproduce it, I'm afraid that there's not much that I can do, as 7+ Taskbar Tweaker merely asks the system to minimize/restore the window, so it probably is a Windows issue.

You can try using a different tool, for example Task Manager, to minimize and restore your window. I guess that you'll see the same behavior.

Icon size changes to large when De-combine active group and select another item in the group

Graeme2115 6 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 6 years ago 2

Hello,  this is a little strange unwanted behaviour.  With small icons selected in taskbar settings, if you select de-combine active group, and you select another item in that group, the all icons on the taskbar go to large size.  Then, if you right any item anywhere on taskbar, they all return to the small size.  However, if you tick the box, 'On Mouse Hover', it does not do this behaviour - like it's fixed.  Under combining I do have "Use Taskbar settings" selected
