algodoo can't switch to full-screen without restart (win xp)

Remark - problem happens only then trying switch to fullscreen from maximized state.

You know that you can edit your posts, right? Anyway, good list, no idea how you found them all.

True! I've never did notice that was the cause of the problem - thanks - this can now be fixed!

Maybe you didn't reproduce other bugs I've report or/and need better explanation?

Glad you guys back to work
How about this list? Is it became shorter?

Thanks!!!
How about suggestions - I've post and see few very good and logical:

1) Thymed external force
2) Track rotation controlled acceleration
3) Deeper for and add while/until loops
4) Readable read-only variables (like pos, angle, etc.)

and more...

in windows 7, (and possibly vista) when the application is put in full-screen all the menus appear at a higher position (except the sim control tool-bar, for some reason).



also, in windows 7, when the start-bar is auto-hidden everything drops, but the mouse can click on the buttons by clicking in the place they should be.

All (hopefully) fullscreen related bugs will be fixed in 1.7.5

Most things Thyme-related is hard to implement for technical reasons. Many require a full rewrite of the Thyme engine. I hope to find time to do that one day, but right now I just cannot justify doing that much work for a feature (scripting) that, after all, very few people uses.

For now, scripting in Algodoo will have to remain an 'unofficial' feature.

Sorry.

just noticed that this might be caused by the same bug in the xp fullscreen mode, which to be honest i have never had problems with.

also, it seams that 1.7.5 is going to be the best update yet, with all of the bug fixes.

What about non thyme suggestions, are you waiting for 2.0 to implement any? There are many that would be very good.
Maybe you could make a sticky topic in the suggestions forum to show what you are considering?

Please implement this - it's not related with thyme

Camera - related controlled acceleration is really logical and useful thing!

This will be implemented via a console variable in 1.7.5.

Quoted message was written at Camera - related geometry controller

Just one small improvement - save key binding with scene. (4example in scene.my.keys)
and we will be almost happy =)
