Copy/Delete options small GUI glitch

xerces8 · Post by *xerces8 » 2011-07-03, 21:16 UTC

In the Configuration dialog, under Copy/Delete, the upper frame title is not ghosted/gray (like the second).
See screenshot. Hmm, are file attachments allowed here?

Also, the text fields look as if active, instead of inactive.

Well, that screenshot would be nice. Here, none of the frame titles ("Copy method (for experts only!", "Buffer size for small files", "Buffer size for big files" and "General Copy+Delte options") are ever ghosted/gray.

See: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copydelete.png and http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copysettings.png

This is on Win XP, but it is the same on my Win 7 x64, except that the frame titles are black and not blue there.

This is how it looks on my Windows XP:

Hmm... Peculiar - here is how it looks on ny XP with classic theme: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copysettingclassic.png

It doesn't look like you are using the Tahoma font which is default for XP's Classic theme - maybe that has something to do with it.

In both of your screenshots the frame title is not ghosted, on mine at least one is ghosted.

And thats why I told you that the fault must lie on YOUR system not on TCs Side...

So you think my system makes text grayed out "randomly" in GUIs?

Well, it is a small issue anyway...

Hi, guys.

The source of the visible differences seems to depend on the Windows version:
On Windows 2003 (32-bit) - equivalent to Windows XP - the dialogue box looks like to be seen in the screenshot posted by xerces8.
On Windows 7 (32-bit) the dialogue box looks like to be seen in the screenshot posted by Sir_SiLvA.

Hm, funny enough, on Server 2008 R2, it looks like posted by xerces8 again. Hm, maybe, it depends on some particular Windows display setting more than on the Windows version itself?!
Using a fresh wincmd.ini did not result in any visible change here by the way.

Cheers,
Karl

In my opinion none of the titles should be ghosted - which is also what I see on both Win XP and Win 7 - see prior screenshots.

But that is a mtter of taste I guess. Anyway they should of course at least be the same for both options, not as xerces8 sees it.

I have now found out when it is that the second title ("Buffer sizes for big files") is ghosted. It happens in with Classic theme and only when the FIRST option ("Use default method only...") was checked before the "Use standard copy method..." is enabled at the very top. See http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copysettingclassic2.png

This does not happen when using and XP Luna theme - See http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copysettingluna2.png - here both titles stays blue - that's why I think this is the way it is intended to be.

For info, here is how it looks on some XP system to which I connected over Remote Desktop:

It is the same as in original report.

About how it should be, in my opinion, disabled parts of the GUI should be uniformly marked as such (ghosted/grayed).
To me it looks half-done, if 90% of the disabled GUI is gray and 10% is regular.
