Re: The msi installer is giving me a problem under Xandros
Hello Anne, Well most of it does... I have _no_ glyphs at all... not in toolbars, account tree, sorting office, editor... nowhere! Glad to hear you got it working. And don't worry about the glyphs, they're ugly ;-) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Around the edge of whole toolbar Mica - about 1mm wide I'd say.

Hello Anne, M Glad to hear you got it working. And don't worry about the glyphs, M they're ugly ;-) I agree Miguel... maybe the newer ones Maxim promised us for later will be better? I hope you and everyone saw my ;-). It's true that I don't like them but, being a matter of taste, I wouldn't dare call them ugly at the risk of offending the many people that like them. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hello Anne, Does anyone know of a way around this at all please? BTW suggesting going back to using Windows is *not* an option! ;) I can't guaranty it will work because I have no way of testing it here (no Linux box), but I am pretty sure that if you get thebat.exe from a .msi installation on Windows and copy it to your Linux one (rename your current thabat.exe first to be safe) it should work without problems. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
