WB Update broke the Win7 expander button

April 22, 2010 4:57:18 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

Since today's update, the Win7 tray expand (show hidden items?) button no longer centers itself on the taskbar when using small icons. I gets pushed down to the bottom edge.

I also noticed that since the update, the selected item color is no longer showing when mousing over pop up menus on firefox and the IE8 favorites menu. The text color changes like it should, but there is no mouseover color block.

 

In fact it looks like the IE8 fav menu background color is now the button face color. I could swear it was pulling it from menu color before, though I could be wrong.

The IE8/Firefox issue should be sorted with the current build.

Impulse should be showing a new update now.

Firefox is fine now. Thanks, Neil.

Here's what I get on the IE8 favorites menu:

 

The white lines are the button face color

Which skin are you using?

I tried here with a couple of skins and the expander is doing what it always has done.

As have I......I'm gonna guess that on the skins you tried, the author didn't skinned that button. In that case WB uses the Xp/vista tray expander.

If a skin uses the Windows 7 expander button vs the XP/Vista ones then the normal behaviour wouldn't be to centre it.  Only the XP/Vista ones centre.

So are you saying that I need to do the button so it sits high on the taskbar in order to accomodate both large and small icons?

 

And why did it work yesterday? That button used to center itself.

It turns out that I'm whack-o.

 

I have confirmed that the button never centered itself on the previous build (tested with someone who hadn't updated his WB today) and I'm sorry for wasting your time, Neil.

 

I still maintain that it should though......because I can't imagine that it would look good on many blinds riding high on the taskbar. Oh well. When unskinned, I get the vista button which gets me the result I want.

I noticed yesterday, on Win 7 using the non Win 7 Expander, on vertical taskbar, the normal tray extender is not centered and no states work.

That would also be normal.

We cannot centre that on vertical taskbars.  This is an OS limitation.
