Two features of the last alpha version of Windows 95 were lost in the first beta and I've never seen them offered in other programs. Is there a way to do these things in WB or other tools?
1. "Tiles" for running applications: There wasn't yet a taskbar in W95a2 so minimized tasks showed at the bottom on the screen in a large "tile" that looked like a double-height button showing the 32x32 icon for the application and up to two lines of text showing the window caption. I don't care about having the "tiles" located in the taskbar, but I'd love to have the larger icon and the text wrap. Can this be done?
2. Docked Explorer bands: If one dragged a folder to the edge of the screen in W95a2, it became a docked Explorer band, but it worked exactly like an undocked window whereas now it becomes toolbar. As a regular Explorer window I could move the icons around, choose how to display them (small icons, thumbnails, etc), and drag and drop. Can this be done with any tools?
Thanks,
Ken
