2011-05-05 Thread Mantas

Maybe it should show message, bet now text is title of program or if program doesn't have title it's just executable name. Anyway, just try to click on icon, when moving mouse cursor from left to right. Animation, should be removed, because now it is really hard to catch those moving icons from o

2011-05-05 Thread Mantas
Hi, in my country we have 4 different keyboard layouts, some of these are based on QWERTY, some on ergonomic variants, such as Colemak. I use two Lithuanian layouts, but keyboard indicator always shows same label: Ltu. So there is now way to identify what keyboard layout is currently in use... G
