Use multiple tree decorations

I would like to be able to use the tree decorations n number of times on each level. We use a CheckBoxTree control in our UI development, each level of the tree could have a branch indicator (the triangle), a checkbox, and an icon.

The way to get around that is either use the Xobni menu bar to access the menu or resize the Xobni sidebar really big, then it will disappear.

Tyler, to reproduce just size your window so that the Xobni bar is rather small. Then close Outlook, Xobni will check on load for Caching and place the marker there.

300,000 employees, they are not going to change something like that for me. But thanks for the suggestion :) hopefully the Xobni guys have something, I doubt it but here's hoping. – Chris Gruel, on October 04, 2009 17:41

How do I disable Cached Exchange Warning?

I know that I am not in cached exchange mode. I also know that our IT has disabled switching of cached exchange mode. I don't need a warning all the time telling me to do something I am not able to do. How do I shut off the warnings?

Agreed, I love TweetDeck except for how I have to open the program to find out if I have any interest in the newest tweets.

Chris Gruel started following the idea "Bubble pop-ups (across all virtual desktops)" in TweetDeck.

I apologize, my version was very out of date. This seems to be fine in NEXT 64.

Printing caused Mockups for Desktop to act very wierd.

I dont know how best to describe it so I captured it in a screencast at http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/wat...

As soon as I printed the mockup (Ver Next 45) it went all wierd. The mockup moved to the left and everything was offset on the screen.

Are fax notifications persistent?

Do fax notification stay indefinitely or just until you close the window?

Open Menu not all items selectable

If you look above you can see how in the View menu in Balsamiq Mockups you can have a "CRTL-L" hotkey off to the right and have the item be selectable with a checkbox. Currently it appears that the menu control ignores those checkmarks when it has anything to the right, like a submenu or a hotkey.

Chris Gruel started following the idea ""Recently Opened Files..." menu item/list." in Balsamiq.

I think that would work just fine, looking forward to it!

Chris Gruel replied on February 27, 2009 14:06 to the idea "Mockups Update Available Link" in Balsamiq:

That can work to, would that tell you if there was an update or just take you to the update page?

Mockups Update Available Link

I would love to see a simple unobtrusive link to the most updated version of Mockups on the company website when version exists that is newer than the version I am working in. For instance, in the Desktop version there would be a link that appears on the top toolbar perhaps in between the full-screen button and the lock icon, but when clicked it would go to the balsamiq webpage for the desktop version and the user could click the AIR link on the page thereby updating the application. The NEXT version would do the same but be directed to the NEXT webpage for its update. You could even add an entry into the View Menu to enable\disable this feature.
