Hi Jack! I am not sure about this... If I have time to look I will. We have a fairly major issue in OBI we **need** to track down.
If you want to take a crack at looking some information up, and find some links you can send them my way, otherwise it may take me a while to get to it. Nio suggested using Sakura because it is small and does lots of nice things... but before hand I had never used it... so I really know very little about it. It has tabs and transparency... which are the only two things I like to have :) On 06/08/2015 11:58 AM, Cinque Port Computers wrote: > Hi Israel, > > I have noticed for a while now that on a fresh install, if I change > any properties/preferences of Sakura, the changes always get lost > after a first logout or reboot.
