Mad_Griffith Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Hi XPero, I've just found this. Is it possible to add (or, better, remove ) the same feature to XPize? Edited December 12, 2006 by Mad_Griffith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 i like that thing, you know where pressing the spacebar will take focus then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustaname Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Please add this patch!! I hate those ugly focus rectangles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleko Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 i like that thing, you know where pressing the spacebar will take focus then.. Agreed. Has never bothered me.Surely you would want to have this included in nLite, not XPize?As its a windows feature that might be able to be done that way?? Would make more sense.

Mad_Griffith Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 i like that thing, you know where pressing the spacebar will take focus then..the button already changes color on that purpose, so there is no need for the rectangle to be there...

XPero Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 That's nice, but as Maleko said, it would be nice to have that in nLite. If only they release an universal patcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustaname Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey!An Universal Focus Rectangle Remover has been released.Look here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=532256The ugly focus rectangles are absolutely not needed and have annoyed me since years...IMHO they are a style problem and have to be removed, so please XPero, add the remover to XPize 4.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ok, I will have a look and decide it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'd say keep it, because should you ever have it where your mouse fails you will need that to navigate the computer via a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Every program I've seen has the focus rectangle, not all of them have highlighting colors (certain themes lack them too).Tabbing around in Firefox and many other applications only shows the focus rectangle. You remove that and you have no way of knowing where your focus is. :\Trust me, you really want to keep your focus triangle. Should you ever have hardware issues with your mouse port (USB or PS2) or even your mouse; you will really need that focus triangle. I just say this from a been there/done that experience.Don't get me wrong, removing it could be nice visually. But should you ever need it, you may regret removing it. I'm just a bit cautious as I've needed it frequently at work on some machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I agree. I don't see the big issue with it. Only time I don't like it is on the desktop, but it when balancing visuals with what Tarun says, it ain't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bledd Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 as i've already said above, its a very useful feature-allows you to know where pressing space will lead you in an explorer window when you re-focus on the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlumpf Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I wrote a GUI to that: DownloadNow it's very easy to use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
