XWP 1.0.17: any availability date ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

David Graser:
I agree with Rich.

NPS WPS Enhancer:  I do like the screen drawing feature and do use the Windows shadows also.  I agree with Rich that the shadows aren't really needed.

I like the way you can set the up the way a window can be dragged across the screen such as selecting the body of the window to drag instead of just the titlebar

I use the program called Title to right click on the titlebar which moves a window order forward while moving the top window to the back.

i use Xit to add additional working bitmaps to the titlebar such as a bitmap to roll up a window and unroll the window, cut and paste icons, etc.

The only issue using NPS Enhancer and Xit is to figure out what to disable that might conflict with Xworkplace.

It would be nice to have a program in addition to Xworkplace called WPS Enhancer where the above features could be added without all the other useless features that are no longer needed in the above programs.

it is a shame the developers did not release the code for these three programs.

I too agree with Rich and see no need to add anything to XWP, in fact I stopped updating XWP at 1.0.11 because it does everything that I need and expect from an enhancer program, also I don't have the latest win abomination to compare it with (yes, I do have win 7 on one of my computers because my weather station only has a win display).

Hello

I'm lost on the "RMB 'Copy/Paste/Cut' (Dariusz)", can someone explain it to me?
Is it something that with the "right mouse click" shows a menu with  'Copy/Paste/Cut' ? Was it available and it is not available anymore? or was some special software?

Regards

So if I recall correctly it was either Xit or NPS that enabled the additional pop-up options that deal with the Copy/Paste/Cut etc. operations. This was applicable to the TEXT content, with the benefit of it being active ANYWHERE that TEXT content was available: so editors, as well as text fields, etc...thus making it very useful when you are trying to avoid re-typing stuff.

I ended up disabling Xit for precisely the reasons Rich mentioned: there were just too many exceptions I was running into where Xit would mess with the application itself. Heck, Lucide is a perfect example, attempting to search for some string would oftentimes cause it to freeze WPS. I had similar issues with PMMail where upon startup WPS would freeze. Hard to explain why, but removing Xit cured it.

So anyways, until Dave mentioned it here in his response I was completely unware of the functionality that operation he suggested brings:

1) highlight the text you want and while still LMB pressing down click on the RMB => tada...the text is copied

Now to PASTE this, you simply:

1) push down on the RMB, and click on the LMB

easy!!!
