Problem with size of titlebars.

Ok...I have my taskbar docked to the left of my screen with true launch bar running vertically with text. I can't get the bars to show everything. Here is a pic for reference:

Anyway...no]http://www.artistnation.com/members....ay...no[/url] matter how much text I put into one of the entries the size of the titlebars stay the same and say for instance I had a menu that said "Configure System", it would show "Configure..." and then cut off the rest. The arrow stays in the same place and won't move further to the right. Is there anyway I can make a default min size of these so that it will show all the text. This is very difficult to explain...I hope it made SOME sense. I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. Thanks.

Hi Jayzun,

Did you set the pref on the prefs menu "Menu Appearance" tab to "Do not cut off caption"?

Don't use mine the way you describe, thought this might be it though.

HTH,

Rich

Thanks for the reply but no this doesn't work...the caption thing is for when you click on a menu and along the left hand side it says "System" or whatever...that has nothing to do with the titlebars themselves. Thanks again for the reply though.

Now the max width of small button with text is 140 px. I take this value from std Quick Launch. In the next version I make option to change this size.
BTW, I see the Winamp control on your True Launch Bar, or I'm not right?

It's winamp control, but not on true launch bar. It is 4 exe files - Play/Pause, Stop, Previous, Next that you just copy to a directory and make a new toolbar out of them. I will provide a link if you want them. Can't wait for winamp control in true launch bar!

That's great that you're going to give us the option to change the sizes...very cool! Thanks! Keep up the good work.

Ok, Done in version 1.1.0.16
I do not make option in the setting dialog. This settings is very special But you can add (or change) this values in setup.ini from you toolbar folder.
[settings]
LargeBtnWithTextMaxWidth=72
SmallBtnWithTextMaxWidth=100
MaxTipWidth=300

This values is for large and small buttons with text. Also I make MaxTipWidth for max tips width. After changing this values reopen TLB.

Great! Just trying it out...seems to work fine. One small suggestion though, on top of this. It DOES make the button large enough to fit the text, but is there a way to make it a certain size even if text does not take up this space? Maybe a SmallBtnWithTextMinWidth that you could tell it to always make buttons this size even if the text doesn't go that far? Maybe on your next release? Thanks a lot!

Here is a screenshot...notice how I had to add a 'p' or some other character at the end of Microsoft Office in order to have the arrow at the edge?

OK, I'll add this in the next version.

where exactly is this setup.ini file you are referring to? i don't see it on my TLB directory

please explain a bit more, this problem is driving me nuts

setup.ini is in the toolbar directory not the program directory.

If you have not changed the location of the toolbar directory then it's the same as WQL which in my case is
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Did you read True Launch Bar FAQ?

ok i found the setup.ini file, but those 3 lines were already in there, i upped all 3 of them to about 900, restarted and no change. i am using the small icons with title, no arrows for menus, windows xp

any more ideas? i don't like seeing "CD Burni..." when it should be "CD Burning"

Send setup.ini to me (<!-- e --><a href="mailto:truesoft@penza.net">truesoft@penza.net</a><!-- e -->). I inspect it and try to help you.

The LargeBtnWithTextMaxWidth=72 doesn't seem to work if the text is below the menus (I have tlb docked to the top of my screen with large icons, no arrows on menus).

Control Panel becomes Control P... no matter what I change LargeBtnWithTextMaxWidth to.

Maybe LargeBtnWithTextMinWidth will fix this ?

Just found the bug: Incorrect calculating of max size for buttons. Will be corrected soon
