HaroldB Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Igor,I want to report a Really Minor Bug .On the Screen tab of the Project Options dialog, there is a field called "Caption of window". This field is grayed-out except if Windowed mode is selected.However, even if Fullscreen mode is selected, the contents of this field appear to be used by PTE!If I am running a PTE show full-screen and use Alt+Tab to switch to a different application so that the taskbar at the bottom of the screen is visible, the caption in the taskbar seems to be taken from this field. The only way to set it correctly is to select Windowed mode, type in a value, and then select Fullscreen mode.This field should probably be available in both Windowed and Fullscreen modes.Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 But you don't get a window caption bar in full screen mode so what would be the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaroldB Posted January 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 But you don't get a window caption bar in full screen mode so what would be the point?You DO get the caption in full-screen mode, Kurt.... not as the caption of the Window (since there is no window) but as the label in the small button on the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen.Try it. Run one of your PTE full-screen presentations and use the Alt+Tab keys to switch away from it and to some other application that you had previously started. See how the PTE presentation is represented on the Taskbar.Then enter something into the caption field by temporarily specifying a windowed presentation. Switch back to specifying a full-screen presentation and run (or preview) it. Use Alt+Tab to switch away from it and see the Taskbar now. Doesn't it look much more professional?Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 A-ha, now I see what you're saying. Yes, you're right, it would look more professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloegyr Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 Academic really, who would want to run something else whilst running a presentation? Surely that detracts from the whole idea.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaroldB Posted January 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Academic really, who would want to run something else whilst running a presentation? Surely that detracts from the whole idea.Mike,Absolutely.But if you're watching a synched 15 minute show for the third time, and what you're really INTERESTED in seeing is the last five minutes of it, it makes sense to use Alt+Tab to do something else for the first ten minutes!FX, I do this all the time when previewing long shows during show development.Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
