Feature requests: Drag & Drop, Transparencies, Better Editor
from
Stardock Forums
In 1.65 I usually added stuff to my bar by dragging the item in question from a explorer window or similar, to the bar, and then in the editor moved that item to the bar I wanted, now you have to make a new shortcut and browse your way to the application you wish to add, clearly this is a step backwards.
What stops OB from allowing you to drag an item over the button that expands a popup menu, thus expanding it and then allowing you to place the item inside that popup menu?
WB5.5 supports TGA with transparencies, so why not OB2.0? Looks odd having a WB5.5/aero desktop with transparencies and then having a non transparent bar.
Also icons with Alpha channel stuff like a slight blur/shadows etc get white added to all parts with alpha transparency, even 1.65 supported alpha channel stuff on icons... is the 2.0 rendering system worse than the 1.65 one?
Also it should be possible to drag items into the theme editor, and drag & drop inside the editor, drag the "group" bracket to move a group (or the item in question if the group is only 1 item) or drag items inside a group to move it in the group, or move it out of a group, no need for split/merge buttons and up/down buttons, and this way it's a lot faster and more intuitive.
The old editor was much better than the current one, and more powerful, yes it wasn't that good looking but you're not going to have the theme editor open to look at, you open it when you want to edit the theme, and the old editor did that much easier and quicker, the new one is a minor hell to navigate and it feels like most of the options that where available in the old editor have been removed.
Also OB2.0 lacks tons of vista folders in the "Use Special Folder" dropdown. Games for one.
