(As was said) the toolbar buttons should obey the toolbar setting.<br />2. I would like to see a little arrow near Execute and Preferences button, so it would be clear, they are menus.<br />3. I would like an option for not using taskbar icon and to end the application while pressing the Close button - I see no reason for keeping it running.<br /><br />Not as good witch patches, sending just ideas instead.<br /><br />Thank you.Miro Hrončokhttp://hroncok.cznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27773648.post-35538857990411595632010-07-07T23:24:23.619+02:002010-07-07T23:24:23.619+02:00Why is this so?

I mocked the application, if you have a further ideas please send them to me. I already asked for feedback while releasing the betas, I'm always open for new suggestions. What can be added is a small arrow within the tool items that show a menu to avoid this confusion.<br /><br />Regarding the labels, I forced them in order to cheat on the default height of the toolbar for the monitors. It's right that the system behavior is wished in place, I have updated the <a href="http://wiki.xfce.org/roadmaps/taskmgr" rel="nofollow">roadmap file</a> to have an option for it. In fact a settings dialog will likely appear in the future. Remember that this first stable version is a rewrite from scratch.Mike Massonnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582966565407297350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27773648.post-73843513250906084562010-07-07T22:38:20.021+02:002010-07-07T22:38:20.021+02:001.

2...1. Toolbar buttons should not be used as menus.<br /><br />2. The toolbar buttons should obey the toolbar settings. The new Xfce Task Manager always has icons and text labels underneath, regardless of the user's settings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27773648.post-87376419448144193942010-06-20T22:39:45.390+02:002010-06-20T22:39:45.390+02:00In fact it was like this before and I only had a l...In fact it was like this before and I only had a look at Thunar, thanks for listing the other applications. As said you are right, and your poor English explains why you are so “direct” :)<br /><br />This is effectively only a choice of taste and color.<br /><br />I committed a patch to remove the borders. It would be indeed great to have them removed in Thunar too.Mike Massonnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582966565407297350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27773648.post-34716413098306863232010-06-20T20:00:50.387+02:002010-06-20T20:00:50.387+02:00thats not true...

Plus the default icon + name display makes it very easy to spot the right process. Being able to adjust the update frequency is also nice, so it can actually stay open without eating up all battery and still be useful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
