Does this look weird? by Guido on 04-04-2004 at 09:42 AM
Does this look like a GUI bug?
(if you don't understand what should be a bug, just vote no, because you don't think it's a glitch 
)

It's the icon 
RE: Does this look weird? by KeyStorm on 04-04-2004 at 09:49 AM
But since no window has icon, and this being th only one could be considered a bug, but I think Patchou added tis intentionally adn the icon corresponds to the tool. So... it's not!
RE: Does this look weird? by Mnjul on 04-04-2004 at 09:52 AM
Guido: change you Windows theme to Silver or Olive and it will look nicer and far from being mistaken as glitch (at least in my opinion)
Edit: OK, I understand that many people use the default Windows XP Style...oh well, change it then

wtf, that's the luna style 
RE: Does this look weird? by CookieRevised on 04-04-2004 at 10:34 AM
The Luna style (or any other style for that matter) doesn't alter any icon... It is the look of the icon when you use the Luna theme that is shiit...
read http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=23240 (last couple of messages)
and before saying that themes shouldn't influence the look of a program, that's true, you can have a shity theme, but the Luna theme is XP's deault, so it should be considered...
RE: Does this look weird? by KeyStorm on 04-04-2004 at 10:46 AM
Hum? of course.
I mean the window represented in the icon is in default luna style and if you're using luna it looks like the window in the icon doesn't have titbar and borders. that's all about it. Despite of the fact that no other window has icon in MP! this I think shouldn't have either.
But... never mind...
RE: Does this look weird? by kao on 04-04-2004 at 11:22 AM
its a bug... the icon has a white background which it shouldnt have...

Here you have the same icon somewhere else:
The fact is that the borders are the same color as the bg and looks a little weird.
RE: Does this look weird? by Anubis on 04-04-2004 at 11:56 AM
But it’s not transparent...so it's a bug...but if it's supposed to look like a mini-window then it's probably not...oh I want to change my vote

i dopnt think it should have a white background tbh, looks dodgy there aswell...
RE: Does this look weird? by saralk on 04-04-2004 at 01:54 PM
it looks like the icon that comes on when a program crashes. But with a plus! logo on top, it shud just be the Plus logo

but what's in the name? Bug? glitch? let's call it a minor GUI-glitch then...
I also agree that I was a bit surprised that only this window had an icon. But since you can maximize it (and that's sometimes handy) it should have an icon. (but maybe the normal default plus! icon?)
Anyways... It doesn't look good on the Windows XP default Luna theme...

it looks fine to me, but I have the silver theme on for me, so I dont know if that makes any difference

i think thats supposed to be a small, fake window.....
RE: Does this look weird? by Guido on 04-04-2004 at 08:08 PM
Ok, so I guess the best would be to replace it with the plus logo in the contact cleanup window... or remove the icon.
Let's see what Patchou prefers
RE: Does this look weird? by lopardo on 04-04-2004 at 08:27 PM
Replace it with the plus logo
RE: Does this look weird? by dom. on 04-04-2004 at 11:21 PM
Yeah Change it Guido
RE: Does this look weird? by chungster on 04-04-2004 at 11:24 PM

* Guido slaps chungster around a bit with a large trout.
No he didn't
RE: Does this look weird? by WDZ on 04-05-2004 at 04:55 AM
Looks crappy.
Looks great.
RE: Does this look weird? by marissa on 04-05-2004 at 06:04 AM
i agree.
Nop, it dosent by Varish on 04-05-2004 at 08:07 AM
We got millions of other thin' to worry abt, besides, i wouldnt call it a bug, what harm does it do? I say if u dont like it, change ur Windows Theme, that might do the trick
RE: Does this look weird? by Menthix on 04-05-2004 at 08:32 AM
quote:Hehe, but Guido is the one who created all of the graphics himself... It may even be easier for him to change that graphic then to change his theme.

we all know it is not a programming bug... that's been talked about in this thread and in that other thread from the first time lylesback2 mentioned it (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=23...d=221346#pid221346)So stop saying it isn't a bug. That's been said 1000 (or a bit less
) times before... call it whatever you want...
