A few bugs have been fixed and some new additions made including double clicking the title bar to maximize/minify the window, Z-indexes fixed to position windows accordingly when having multiple smaller windows open in the container, inner Heights fixed on the content to not overlap the resize area etc etc etc A few CSS changes to pretty up the application Demo available @ http://dev.thecvmarket.com/unitTest.php Regards Alex Mcauley - Original Message - From: Alex Mcauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Window System - WebOs / Web Desktop Classing it would be a good idea but i have never written a Javascript class before !!, i have only just started to use object notaion for my functions !! so i suppose the next logical step is a class ...

that is strange for the safari ... i just tested it on my version and they are in the correct place ... out of interest what safari version are you running ?

i just fugured it out ... if you are on a smaller resolution then the title of the minified window will take up most of the allowed width, ergo sending the buttons down to compensate ... i should limit the title length really in smaller windows, i will add the fix to it today at some point Regards Alex - Original Message - From: Alex Mcauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 10:24 AM Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Window System - WebOs / Web Desktop that is strange for the safari ... i just tested it on my version and they are in the correct place ... out of interest what safari version are you running ?

My first suggestion is that when someone opens a new window, it should be normal and not maximized to give a better demonstration. Also, in IE6 when I open the start menu the text was completely overlapped. In addition, if I click anywhere outside the start menu it should go away. When you release the source code, properly stated license is important to some people. GPL is highly viral, while MIT is extremely friendly for commercial use.
