Change a Icon by rightclick/Apperance/Change Icon

-->Try opening the folder of a menu you have created. Or drag and drop shortcuts onto that menu. They don't appear until you manually press Refresh??? You get a drop event or a mousepress - why not refresh then?

I think I have seen this happen a few times. I dragged a icon to a menu and it did not appear.. usually it does.

-->If a skin is selected - why are the menu appearance and font colors options visible? Changing them does nothing (wish it did work)

You don't have to use skins. Smile

-->The TLB Settings tab called Toolbars should be called Fast toolbar switching or something. It seems like you are creating additional toolbars - but you are only creating toolbars to switch to...

I not sure what you mean plus "Fast toolbar switching" is alot to fit onto a button.
You are creating additional toolbars to switch to.

If this is not in the FAQ I will make sure it is added.
Alot can be learned by visiting the FAQ site. Wink

-->For an app that runs inproc with Explorer - it sure seems to crash alot.

I have personally been using True Launch Bar for well over a year and had one crash from dragging a icon from the desktop to a menu in TLB. Lucky me this is now fixed. Smile

Some questions I did not understand.. so I answered what I though I did understand.. Hope it helps.
RTB... me being ######. I keep calling it "Real toolbar" in my head and acidentally used that acronym.

The icons not appear did happen right after installing TLB, but since a restart I cannot reproduce.

In the True Launch Bar Setting dialog, on the "Toolbars" tab - it seems intuitive that you are creating brand new toolbars that could be enabled by right clicking the Explorer taskbar, selecting "Toolbar" and have it appear. If I am correct, this is not the case - you are creating alternate toolbars you can switch to in the same realestate as the original toolbar settings you are modifying. That was why I suggested calling the tab "Toolbar Switching" or something like that.

Glad it doesn't crash for you. I've never run RLB - never have crashes in Explorer - but since I've been running it the past few days I've seen several crashes.

It is common in software usage and design to learn a new paradigm for workflow and then assume it is intuitive. Longtime users may feel comfortable, where new users may be confused. I'm not throwing stones, as I said in my original message - these are things to consider. Just adding my opinion to help RLB reach even more users. (as it should)
