RE: Put URL Progress?

2003-06-26 Thread Chipp Walters

Yep, remember those days...640x480 8 bit color.. Funny, the last PC laptop I purchased only goes down to 800x600. It is 1400 x 1050 native -- all in only 14.1 inches. Funny, I design a web page on it and it look HUGE on other systems! Perhaps too large is too bad;-) -Chipp -Original

Sean, My understanding of it: MS is saying they're planning on 'embedding' the browser into the next operating system Longhorn available sometime in 2005-6 and they're not doing any major upgrades to IE until that time when of course it will be named something else. (personal opinion) I think

Hi Dave, My best thinking on this subject would be to try and discover what's happening on the other machines. If you can't reproduce the errors, perhaps you can write a utility to see (some things to possibly check for): 1) What version of the OS they are using 2) If QT is installed or not 3)

Hey Richard, I've given this a bit of thought. What you want is what some of us call the 'springs and struts' stuff. I've been successful using a plain window (no decorations) and creating a 'stretchable' interface. See some the images at: http://www.altuit.com/webs/leo/Stuff/InterfacePix.htm
