Your Yahoo based/Geocities based addie don't work!

Maybe it is here: http://www.geocities.com/chaos945/files/StartClock.zip
Thanks for the file. Seems under classic windows to have no stretch problem. Has enough for adding seconds also, hint hint.

Think I've found a bug. When StartClock is running, the tool tip when hovering the forum links does not work.
Pic1 shows tips when clock isn't running
Pic2 shows it when it is
Both are when the mouse is hovering the StartClock thread link.

I've seen this happen for a few boards.

What browser? You using the latest StartClock?

/note
I managed to simulate the 'bug' with Internet Explorer, Firefox seems to work fine though.

Only thing I noticed is when running the program, I could not double click on the icons in systray to open them. I had to right click and select open.

 

[chaos945]

Hrmm, interesting. I'm working on a few major changes, should fix up most issues people seem to be having.

What Visual Style are you using?

 

[ziptrx]

Right now using SilverMAX, but it does it on others. Sometimes if I click on the icon repeatedly, more than twice, the program will show. Nice feature you are working. Hopefully the problem I am experiencing can duplicated and fixed.

This happens with me also. Have to triple click the icon in the systray!!

What browser? You using the latest StartClock?

Yup - latest from your new site, using IE6 with all the updates.

 

[chaos945]

Anyone got Windows 95/98/Me to test on?

Nice work Chaos! Love my new Start clock!

 

[chaos945]

Just an update, changed loads of stuff in the last 2 versions, most major bugs are addressed.

Don't know about the 2 bugs you guys are having, kind of strange, I'll see if I can figure them out; I couldn't get that tray double clicking bug duplicated. A detailed reference of your system and running processes would be helpful. Thanks guys.

Also added by popular demand is the ability to customize the program easily, done via the included INI file. Some features have not yet been deployed as some major code revisions are necessary to implement them. Soon enough though.

Please let me know if anyone has any trouble connecting to my site.

/Note
Just a FYI, the program has been downloaded in the area of 1500 times since the 9th of May. I hope you are all enjoying it.

Seems to be working fine now chaos945. Getting tools tips and double clicks work. Keep up the good work! ;-)
