Now I have to use a (compared to 4.19 and earlier) huge GUI window, just to see a few links in the BigBlueBar on the left. So, please, give me a way to turn off that BigBlueBar and give me back my ability to right-click! (even so: great job, keep on) [b]phees solutions[b][br] [img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=1410" /] [img border="0" src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/teamStats.php?userID=1410&prj=1" /] ID: 86809 ·

(another right-click function killed!) I originally wanted to ask for more systray functionality like selecting to toggle network access, to start graphics etc... Seems so far away now! :-) -- So please, let there be a right-click! -- And: By double clicking the systray icon you could toggle the BOINC GUI on AND off. Now I can only open it and have to close it by hand. Why? On litestep machines you have to switch to the desktop it is placed on to close the window.

I can use the systray menu on v4.25 ... > I originally wanted to ask for more systray functionality like selecting to > toggle network access, to start graphics etc... > Seems so far away now! :-) Well, I can handle network access and the settings for runtime. I personally do not need the "start graphics" menuitem since BOINC should penetrate FPU and CPU and no graphic adapters ;) > -- So please, let there be a right-click! -- Agreed. I also want to have the right-click on list headers back again. Selecting list items and rearranging the column order was nice in v4.19. ID: 86933 ·
