All of my categories except one are put into the first column. Thus some categories are hidden from view unless you scroll down.

I use my Gnome theme but it happens with other themes too. And the solution from my previous thread doesnt help.

Any ideas?

Here you go:

Go in to the Themes/Gnome/wpi.hta file. At the top is

maxentries += 4;

Or whatever it is. Edit this number up or down until the Previous/Next line is at the bottom.

Take the // comment out, too.

Values 1-4 didnt seem to do anything. A value of 5 (or greater) puts everything into one column sad.gif

Same problem here, there is no more "Next" button.
Kelsenellenelvian
Actually I am having no problems.

Why not use 3 collums though at that res?

sp00f


No next for me.

EDIT : tested 6.5.1 again... Next shows fine.

I tried removing some entries but now its permanently in one column.

Argh!

@ sp00f = the reason you can't see yours is because you maxentries is set too high in the themes wpi.htm please set it to a lower number. ( maxentries += -3; ) Setting it to -3 fixed the same error for me. Not really an error just a sizing issue.

@ anonymous user please zip up your WHOLE wpi setup (Minus installer folder) and upload it somewhere then PM me the link so I can try it out...
anonymous_user
PM sent.
Kelsenellenelvian
@ = anonymous user, set this in WPI.htm

CODE
maxentries += -20;


See your not having a bug either. WPI FILLS a collum up before going on to the next one. It doesn't just say "OH, he wants 3 collums? then I will spread everything out." So by setting that you trick WPI into thinking that there is only so much room for the collums. (Note you will need to re adjust this as you add more entries)
anonymous_user
Thank you Kel.

I think I get the hang of it now thumbup.gif

The proper method is:

maxentries -= 3;

But who's checking?.............................................................me!

Didnt work for me no.gif

@sp00f - just keep trying different values like -5, -10, etc

I went back to 6.5.1, no problems with that one for me

My Problem :
1) I scroll down to bottom to see the <Previous> and <Next> options in the bottom screen. The remaining list after this option is totally missing.
2) I press <Next>, immediately it shows the next screen
3) And from now on, i can able to scroll from top to bottom. ie, i can see listing before the <Previous> <Next> option as well as after it.
3) This thing can be understood by the size of the vertical scroll bar in picture 1.jpg and 2.jpg.

This is the link for 1.jpg and 2.jpg : http://rapidshare.com/files/135326149/Error.rar.html

Plus one of your options in the options page is set wrong.. Set "Show scroll bar" in the "general" tab to selected also.

@Kel, Thanks for the response.
I changed to it to -=3 and it seems ok now.
'Show ScrollBar' is already selected here.

I cant figure out what might be wrong. but now everything seems ok otherwise.

One Clarification :
In all the WPI versions till the present one, why is that the tooltip image(Picture file) is not showing up for the following themes : mritter_euDock, muiz, mritter_euDock_Aquarium, spoof_eudock.
mritter
The tooltips interfere with the dock menu. It will lock up if you turn them on.
