Apple Min/max

[Björn]

1. I have a problem with WinExpose here (was in all versions od AMM), the AMM bars are suggested as seperate windows (LeftbeClass) by WinExpose:

2. My PC won´t shut down or change user or anything like that, until I close the AppleMinMax from the taskbar and shut down again. Then it´s no problem.

EDIT: Added LeftbeClass to the Exclusionlist of WinExpose and works, but certainly the trafficlights are on the right now.

EDIT2: Forgot to say. Very promissing app.

Yet another thing... sorry about all the feature requests hey

In Leopard, when a window can't be maximised or minimized the button/icon stays there. With this app you removed it completely.

top = leopard

bottom = Raats System Prefs

EDIT:

2. My PC won´t shut down or change user or anything like that, until I close the AppleMinMax from the taskbar and shut down again. Then it´s no problem.

I second the bug, I had this as well. I couldn't understand why it didnt shut off

btw bjorn, can you please thumbnail the screenshot or something? I'm having to load the thing every time I come on this page.

EDIT2: The font is looking better too, matonga!

Would it be possible to skin itunes 8 with AMM? You added them by default to the exclusion list but if I delete them itunes still shows no effect. Is this due to beta state or is it not possible to skin apple apps?

iTunes and Safari need separate apps for skinning. In first place, this is because they use a theme different to any Windows Visual Style I know.

By now you have SafariMinMax for Safari... I hadn't enough time to write an iTunes one but maybe some time later... I can't promise it because I don't use iTunes myself, and I'm mostly after my career, my job and some freelancer projects now (say, I love to write freebies, but I need to eat too, hahaha, and I don't want to charge for these apps, I have even kindly rejected donation offers because of this, I hope you understand).

Mmm... newer version (to be published soon) uses different technique and seems to be more bullet-proof too. I'll ask you to check again, once after I upload it (probably between this afternoon and tomorrow).

Yeah, right, hahaha. Just confirmed it here too . I'll fix this when I get home.

[Björn]

Yes, I´ll test it, But is it just me and yorkey? I´m on a standart XP SP3 pro here.

Oh one thing. With True transparency you get a 1px border around the windows. With AMM the border is wider (2px). Can you change this?

AMM:

TT:

[matonga]

AMM doesn't put borders around the windows, it just modifies the titlebar (in effect, it puts another borderless window on top of the original titlebar). I can do nothing about the 1px border around windows. Maybe I'll implement this by the end of this year (if I get good results with my career in the mean time).

Edit

BTW just published newer version which should be more stable.

Also forgot to include Theme folder in previous versions, maybe people was getting access violation errors on startup because of this...

[username3d3]

This application is shaping up very nice indeed. I can't wait until you add new features mentioned on Page 1. Keep up the good work dude.

[magnus87]

Its like true transparency U_U

I tought it will be a "fixed" version of Lefsider :S but Great Work again Matonga

Mmm... I'm unable to reproduce this. What Windows version, CPU speed, RAM amount, and hard disk capacity are you using? If you use Vista better tell me the rating of those too (trying to guess what's going wrong... AMM seems to have problems with both too slow and too fast PCs).

[nodeffect]

nice lil' app! thanks matonga for creating so many useful app. Best of luck to you!

[danhoven]

i think u missed this button.hope for next update.

oh Matonga i have a problem well its not really big but its tiny i guess

Yeah, app (I guess mine) did something really wrong and Windows decided to kill it before it compromises your computer, hard drive and data. If the app just shows Access violation error or such, it's not so difficult for me to try find the problem, but when things go this wrong altogether, I just don't know what's going on.

Whatever, I've been running AppleMinMax in both my desktop PC and notebook for hours and noticed no problem at all (though AppleMinMax doesn't let me shutdown the computer, as noticed by other people too, but I didn't have time to go deeper in that one yet).

[danhoven]

mine works fine now.but could u add the button to the right side look at my post #67 attached

tnx matonga

Ok, now... when clicked, what should this button do?

[Björn]

hide the sidebar and the buttons...muuuaaahhhh

....if you could implement this.....

[yorkey]

Yeah it would be silly to hide Styler or the default windows toolbar, and Findexer etc. Too much work, and so many things could go wrong. I'd keep it just as it is, perfect.

[Björn]

But I´d like to have the button to show the menu. (If you use MacStylerBar, EDIT: Mac Finder Toolbar for Windows)

Is this possible?

Maybe with some help of KSoft... it would require Mac OS KS Toolbar for Windows installed (or something like that, can't remember, had a complicated name).

Edit now I remember: "Mac Finder Toolbar for Windows". I'll contact KSoft and see what happens.
