HOW ABOUT A PARTIAL SCREEN DARKENER?

Post by Son of a Border Scot »

Some of us oldsters like to darken our screens at night to cut down on the glare and use the Yahoo Widget "Tintscreen" to accomplish this. The issue is that Tintscreen darkens the entire screen and that includes V-Bar. :(

How about adding an option that allows a darkening of the non-V-Bar screen only, with a slide to adjust the degree of darkness?

Frankly, I never use G-Force Standalone as I most often am using my PC for my genealogy group's business and that is very demanding time-wise. So, sometimes, I like to just watch V-Bar (which runs all the time on my PC) for a while before going to bed. It would be nice to darken the working part of my desktop and just enjoy V-Bar by itself. 8)

Oh, and another thing. It is very easy to accidently click on V-Bar and have it jump from, say, left to top or right and there goes all the icons like a pack of scared rabbits all over the place. How about going to a double-click or even a "Are Your Sure You Want To Do This?" prompt. It would save me some cussing from time to time when I accidently click in the wrong place.

Otherwise, very nice improvements to G-Force. I just wish you could allow us to have an "old" version as well as the latest one so we could switch back and forth according to our moods.

Peace in our time!!

The Roman Army brought my Syrian archer ancestor to Hadrian's Wall in AD250, and a Pict lassie attracted him northward into Liddesdale and kept him there forever through their son.
