    wuala proper graceful shutdown methods - (with) traybar icon missing Last reply on July 02, 2008 15:03.

    sometimes wuala is missing its tray icon (win32). sometimes when auto-logon to windows xp (for example autologin with tools like powertoys/tweakui) is activated, the wuala trayicon cant be created/registered as the traybar (explorer.exe components or such) havent been started yet.

    im not into win32 api details, but i think i remember that with at least winxp and later windows builds new methods and calls have been implemented into windows to recreated/redraw/register the tray icons and tray-related stuff in case explorer.exe / desktop crashes or restarts and things like that.

    please make wuala work properly with the windows tray area or at least add a real quit/shutdown icon on the wuala logon window, as wuala can only be exited properly with rightclick on the traybaricon and "exit" there for example when wuala is logged out. when the traybar icon is missing, there is only the really unclean and hardcore killing way of the wuala.exe process left for quitting wuala, which isnt really nice i suppose.

    also, wuala doesnt react properly to wm_quit message that i tried to send with process.exe tool from beyondlogic guys.

    C:\>process -q wuala.exe

    Command Line Process Viewer/Killer/Suspender for Windows NT/2000/XP V2.03

    Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
    wuala.exe (PID 832) failed to respond to WM_CLOSE. Terminating Now.
    Sending PID 832 'wuala.exe' WM_CLOSE Message. Timeout is 60 seconds.
    wuala.exe (PID 832) has been closed successfully.

    so maybe you guys can add proper wm_close message handling of the wuala main app, or fix the traybar/trayicon handling or add a real shutdown/exit function also to the logon-window or the main wuala window too.

    would be great thanks.

    Wuala nearly unusable with certain themes Last reply on June 30, 2008 08:41.

    I'm using Gnome and switched my theme today. After that, Wuala was nearly unusable since some Buttons and Labels where not visible any more (same color as the background).
    As far as I know, wuala is coded mostly in Java which provides basic theming functionality. It would be helpful, if wuala would use this possibility to integrate better into different Desktops (Windows, KDE, Gnome).

    But of course it's not *that* important right now ;) So thanks for your great work!

    New feature: Would you like to set a folder background image / wallpaper? Last reply on March 07, 2008 15:10.

    We're happy, but surprised, that so many users like the rather accidental feature of setting a thumbnail to a folder (see http://wua.la/moritz_/Images as an example). Two questions/ideas along these lines:

    1. Would you also like to set a background image for your user/group? For each folder?
    2. Would you like to be able to position your folders/files with the mouse (similar to your Win/Mac desktop)?

    Examples
