1. You _already_ employ hiding by the "Advanced settings" via Advanced Arrow UI. 2. Current architecture is somewhat confusing. People might think that Promisc. Mode should work with all backends, etc... And think that SMP should work on non-VT-x hosts. 3. I have tested this patch, and the jumping effect is very minimal. - no major jumps, that hurt readability of settings. 4. Certain settings are only changed on different hosts as the case with VT-x check. That is - once GUI loaded, this setting is not runtime changeable. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
