Hi all.. One thing I really dislike about Windows is how much unneeded
space the title bar and the bar below it(with File Edit etc..) take up
on the screen. Together they are at least 1/2 inch high! Is there any
way at all of getting rid of them or making them smaller? How about the
scroll bars? Same deal.. too much wasted space.
Another question, what exactly is ATM? I know Adobe Type Manager, but
what *is* it? All those new fonts on cica, what are they for? Windows?
Word for Windows? As you can see I'm not very up to date on these matters..
A question on WNQVT: Is there a way to change the font size? At least in
terminal you have control over fonts, even though not much else.. :)
File Manager: Is there any possible way to 'mark' more than one file
for copying, moving, what have you? Sure you can mark them all, but what
if I want to move 1/2 of them? Metz Desk Navigator does this nicely, but
I figure File Manager should be able to somehow..
In an earlier post, it was mentioned about converting GIFs to BMPs with
256 colors, to just change the video mode to fit 256 colors. Is this
easy to do? What I installed Windows, I simply let it decide what my
system was.. I have a VGA monitor and card, but I think Windows is
only using 16 colors, not all 256.. How can I fix this? And how can
I find out what Windows is using in the first place? I have an Imtec
1453Q VGA..
Is there any way to change the color of just one Window and not any
others? preferably everytime that application is opened..
How do you get usher to switch to a directory before running the
application found there? Right now if I run the main program, it can't
find the associated files it needs because usher didn't change to that
directory..
Whew! I didn't realize I had so many questions until I started asking
them! :) Any and all help is appreciated. If I get enough responses,
I'll happily summarize and post it.. Thanks for your help..
