lSwitcher v 2.94
« on: May 14, 2024, 07:17:31 pm »
lSwitcher v 2.94 has been released.

New Features
  • Text Size
    It now uses the system fonts in most places so it should work with the XWP/Styler text size feature.
    A big thanks to Rich Walsh and Alex Taylor.
  • Large Icons
    Both the widget (requires XWP 1.0.16 or higher) and stand alone exe now support large icons.
Updates and Bugfixes
  • Dialogs
    Improved the layout of some of the dialogs.
  • Other Changes
    • Fixed a trap that sometimes occurred when opening the sub-menu on a button group.
    • The hook is now unloaded from memory on exit.
    • Refactored parts of the widget code to reduce its memory foot print.
    • Changed the increments used for auto hide delay from tenths of a second to seconds.

The latest version does not save the fonts for the widget that I drop from the Font Paletter. I have to set the font again after every reboot.

PS: I tried to register for a user mailing list (specified in Readme) and received a confirmation email. But the letter sent to the mailing list was never returned to me.
I then tried to register at http://trac.netlabs.org/ to create a ticket, but the registration did not work.

Registration at netlabs not working is a known issue. Work around is to subscribe to the community list and ask to be registered. It's a very low volume list.
community-subscribe at netlabs.org

Hello.
The latest version does not save the fonts for the widget that I drop from the Font Paletter. I have to set the font again after every reboot.

PS: I tried to register for a user mailing list (specified in Readme) and received a confirmation email. But the letter sent to the mailing list was never returned to me.
I then tried to register at http://trac.netlabs.org/ to create a ticket, but the registration did not work.
I created the ticket: http://trac.netlabs.org/lswitcher/ticket/82
I hope it helps.

I also replicated the issue. On the "lSwitcher Settings" if you change the font with the Font Palette, the font style resets when you close the window and reopen it. It also applies for the "Alt+Tab" menu.

Regards

Hi Andy. I press Alt+tab to show the lswicther menu. I press Ctrl+left click on the desktop icon and I don't see any kind of highlight or any other action occur. Is that the procedure?

Regards

Andy,

I assume you meant to say "...and NO list of processes..."?

If yes, correct, that's what I see here as well in the pop-up switching window. This does work for all the other icons of running programs I see however.

Yes, I have the same problem. The list of processes is not displayed.
