Yuri,

A was up to date in 4.4 release candidates before installing v5. And, as I said, this problem pre-dated v5 and remains. When the system first comes up after a bootup, the toolbar on the second monitor's taskbar retains ALL of the settings I first set up when experimenting. It's taller than normal (due to my playing around with making the minimum height of icons 32). It has a bad hover colour, which is all black, obscuring text and icon. All of these things were my fault as I was trying things out. NO skin was selected. Then I selected Luna II and everything looked nice. I thought my problems were over and the skin had basically gotten rid of all of my 'experiments'. But when I booted, it ignored that skin selection and went back to my experimental settings.

After bootup this time, I saved the settings.ini in question to oldsettings.ini and then updated the skin.
SkinFile=E:\apps\utils\TrueLaunchBar\skins\Luna II\tlbskin.ini
changes to
SkinFile=E:\apps\utils\TrueLaunchBar\skins\L33t Remix\tlbskin.ini

It's the only line in the settings.ini that changed. I am including a copy of the settings ini as a zipped attachment to see if you see anything.

This isn't an earth-shattering problem. I don't reboot all that often, about twice a month. And it takes but a moment to right click on the toolbar, choose TLB settings and switch back or to Luna II or L33t Remix. whichever one is SUPPOSED to be active and is not.

Other data that might be important. Using WinXP SP3 with two 24in Samsung Monitors, using UltraMon currently. nVidia video that is not completely up to date, about two revisions behind. It's usually wise to stay off the cutting edge with nVidia. You will already have noticed, I don't install ANY program to default locations on C:\. The apps run on drive E: and the application data is in E:\DATA\TLBmonitor2 for this toolbar. The main toolbar on the first monitor's taskbar runs PERFECTLY. It's data IS on drive C: in your chosen default place.

Hope this helps. GM
