I thought I’d share my first custom screen experience which didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped but did finally result in success. Probably no bugs here just my hit or miss experiences in lieu of detailed documentation.
When I initally got everything placed and I was “done”, I did a Save and closed the box. I then realized I wanted to change something and reopened the screen. To my shock, only the background image was still in proper position. Everything from the middle of the screen to the right edge was now placed from the left edge of the screen to the middle and everything that was on the left half of the screen had vanished.
I moved everything visible back where I wanted it but could not get the vanished objects back. My theory was that they were off the left side of the screen where I could not see them or get them back. I decided to explore and see if I could find where WD saves these settings. My first guess was correct. All the entries for the custom screen are located near the bottom of text file c:\windows\WDISPLAY.INI.
I really liked that aspect of VWS so that is what I used a Custom screen for as well, except I didn’t try to emulate the layout, which you did a very admirable job of…
