I also wanted to direct your attention to following thing... yesterday I've got IM from my friend asking me this:
Well, now a little technical note: I see a small problem using the 4 in 1 skin: when both the sliding panel of Local Disk and Removable Media are open, it's impossible to close the Local Disks slide clicking on the small "x" icon. Maybe is a behavior of my pc only? (I must buy a serious graphic card, 'cause my old nVidia FX 5200 is slow)
Again, it's not the bug, and nothing is wrong with anyone's graphic card (
) . It's completely normal avast! behavior. You all may already noticed that when you open those two sliding panels (REMOVABLE MEDIA and LOCAL DISKS) by pressing REMOVABLE MEDIA
BUTTON, it's not possible to close those two sliding panels with little
X box (close) located on
LOCAL DISKS sliding panel. If you take a look at
display area, you'll see that
SCAN LOCAL DRIVES line is
changing it's value from
ON to
OFF and backwards. So, it means, LOCAL DISKS panel does it's function...
After all, you brought those two sliding panels to your screen by pressing REMOVABLE MEDIA
BUTTON, so you can not expect to close them with some other button, in this particular case with LOCAL DISKS. If you press little X box (close button) located on the REMOVABLE MEDIA sliding panel, panels will slide back in. Of course, if the state of SCAN LOCAL DRIVES line inside display area is still set to OFF (that means those options are not active, so avast! thinks: "
OK, they are disabled, so I can close that panel as well"), on the other hand if the state of SCAN LOCAL DRIVES line is set to ON, you will be able to close just REMOVABLE MEDIA sliding panel, because then avast! thinks: "
OK, LOCAL DISKS options are selected, and active, DO NOT CLOSE that panel yet"... Logically... It is how it suppose to work, believe me nothing is wrong. It's how everything works in avast!
To prove that, I'll ask you to do following thing:
1.) Start your avast! program (with this particular skin or any other made by any of our skin designers), click at
REMOVABLE MEDIA BUTTON. That will bring those 2 sliding panels to the screen. Now, totally
ignore those sliding panels for a moment, and
focus on those
3 usually hidden buttons (LOCAL DISKS, FOLDER SELECTION and REMOVABLE MEDIA). Now, while those 2 sliding panels are still active and visible on the screen (DO NOT TOUCH THEM), just go and try to press LOCAL DISKS
BUTTON (note that I said
button, and not the little X located on the LOCAL DISKS sliding panel). What's happening ? Nothing... panels will not disappear... exactly the same thing like when you pressed LOCAL DISKS little X (close). Panels are not going to slide back in, and the state of the SCAN LOCAL DRIVES line inside the display area, will change from OFF to ON. You see ? It's how it works...
Now try any other skin from download section (doesn't matter who made it), you can try RejZoR's, or Darren's or even Martin's skin... always exactly the same results.
I already wrote once about these things, when I released avast! Brushed skin, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find that post yesterday... actually I somehow found it, and tried to make another post, just like this one, my session expired (at least that was the message I've got
), and I've lost everything I typed (ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!
). Now, I tried everything and I wasn't able for the World to find it again...
I hope this clears this thing a little bit...
Cheers !
EDIT: I still haven't heard from Alwil guys what do they think of this skin, and what are their opinions... I know one thing, that most likely I will have to change one more thing on this Silhouette skin... When I made BACLK LIQUID skin, Vlk asked me to change LOCAL DISKS name located on it's sliding panel, to SCANNING OPTIONS... so I will wait untill he gets back to me with information, does he wants me to do the same thing with this skin as well...
Alwil, please... any info would be greatly appreciated !
