[Suggestion] Return the classic progress bar (?)

Post by *Kishiro »

I love the good old progress bar, it's what visually seperates TC from the drab windows default standards of perforated progress bars. And also makes me able to tell if a user is working in TC or just a bad clone from ten meters away. With v7, it looks like everyone is using a bad TC clone... :cry:

Please consider bringing it back :wink:

Another thing I didn't quite like was how big and bloated the attribute dialoge box had become. I use it quite a lot with my keyboard (space, space, tab, enter etc.) and I think it might need a cleaning up. I suggest a "more button" to display the plugins settings. Something like this maybe? :

The final thing I didn't like with the new version, is the blue tint on the "default unassosciated icon" icon. I made me think there was something wrong with the color balance on my monitor. I'd rather have them neutral grey like before (as seen on the right side on this screenshot)

I hope you like my suggestions, and pray some of them make the final cut. Even tough they are only minor visual changes :D

1. Search for "progress bar" in TC help file, INI section.
2. If the state is remembered, that's a good idea, otherwise it's not.
3. How does a white icon look on a white background? The light blue is a good compromise imho, not only in that icon...

Thanks, icfu :)
I didn't know about the "NewStyleProgress" ini setting. You learn something everyday :o
