Ticker shortcoming?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello tbudl, I've seen some people talk about that they can't live without the ticker and I just hid it away as one of the first options I came across. Today however, I sparked with I need the ticker too so I enabled it. I tried docking it at the top and bottom of my screen but it interferes with my open windows. If I have it at the top I cant get to a full screens minimize, maximize and close buttons and if its docked at the bottom it usually interferes with my windows status bars, etc... Is that how it is supposed to work and if the answer is yes is their a registry tweak that can suppress any window from going beneath it, yet still show on my desktop? - -- Best regards, Victor B.

You can adjust the length of the ticker with mouse. Move the mouse towards the left or right edge of the ticker till the mouse turn into a double arrow, and drag the mouse to adjust the length. -- Regards, Anthony Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Anthony, If I have it at the top I cant get to a full screens minimize, maximize and close buttons and if its docked at the bottom it usually interferes with my windows status bars, etc... AXC You can adjust the length of the ticker with mouse. Move the mouse AXC towards the left or right edge of the ticker till the mouse turn into AXC a double arrow, and drag the mouse to adjust the length. Thanks, I didn't know that :) I am really after docking it without interference, is it possible? Thanks Anthony because if the answer is no I guess I am left with no option but to resize it :) - -- Best regards, Victor B.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Victor, @2-Jan-2003, 19:52 -0500 (00:52 UK time) Victor B. Gonzalez said: I tried docking it at the top and bottom of my screen but it interferes with my open windows. I don't dock the ticker at all. I leave it unzoomed, shortened to the smallest possible size and then dragged off beyond the left edge of the screen about 3cm above the Start button with about 1cm of the thing left showing. Why? 1) I have turned off old flappy. I got tired of unread Spam in my Anti-Spam account triggering the wings and I let the minimal ticker serve as my You have mail notification. 2) I have access to one of the real gems of the TB system - the Browse Ticker Messages virtual folder. There, in a simple and easy folder, are all of my unread messages. If I want to zoom in to see the rest of a thread, double click a message in the folder message list to open the message in the specific folder context. A quick Esc will take me back out and I resume browsing the new mail I have enabled the Folder column so I can see where the message resides to start wide. I also colour code important unread messages so they stand out in the list. 3) Using System wide hotkeys in conjunction with PowerPro and Stroke-it, a couple of mouse gestures opens the ticker mail, jumps me to the first message and opens all threads. Boy, do I make this baby work for me or what? ;-) The biggest downside about the virtual ticker folder is that it is created in the moment of opening and is a snapshot of the ticker content at that moment. New messages that come in after it was opened will appear on the ticker but not in the virtual folder. Still, if more come in, I can just close the view and a fresh view is just a couple of mouse gestures away g. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+FOVwOeQkq5KdzaARAuo5AJ9ioqE/ggLj8jwcRpUhANjvqksTygCeImsA zRUvH8YFpfKYcfhdf8mRoFI= =X+Ly -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Marck, I tried docking it at the top and bottom of my screen but it interferes with my open windows. MDP I don't dock the ticker at all. I leave it unzoomed, shortened to MDP the smallest possible size and then dragged off beyond the left edge MDP of the screen about 3cm above the Start button with about 1cm of the MDP thing left showing. MDP Why? MDP 1) I have turned off old flappy. I got tired of unread Spam in my MDPAnti-Spam account triggering the wings and I let the minimal MDPticker serve as my You have mail notification. This is what made me turn on the ticker. It wasn't spam exactly but I get lower than normal priority mail and I thought I would like to keep an eye on it... 1 new shortcoming, there isn't a way to handle mail through the ticker but to have to go through the client. Maybe not a shortcoming but a definite feature request along with window docking side by side. MDP 2) I have access to one of the real gems of the TB system - the MDPBrowse Ticker Messages virtual folder. I didn't know about this virtual folder but looked it up in the bat... It is a pretty cool feature with a time saving benefit attached... Thanks :) MDP 3) Using System wide hotkeys in conjunction with PowerPro and MDPStroke-it I've used power pro, never tried stroke it but am curious as to what exactly is system wide hotkeys? I ask because all keyboard shortcuts I make in my system are only active if applied to a shortcut on either my desktop or start menu. Thanks for your answer Marck, I am still on the tutorial you suggested I look over and that macro tool is just really cool. Thanks for all the input :) - -- Best regards, Victor B.
