    Re viewer offset -- Still can't duplicate your behavior at any screen res here on three different machines
    Are you sure you were running the latest TW downloaded from the site
    The absolute latest is in the below attached

    Ps Added Back button --- Drop file Back.jpg into ...\tools\menufiles folder

    In my tests dvdstyler creates the same sort of cropped masked background. so its in the DVDAuthor/Spumux realm. I can't find any Tweak in any of the forums on this.

    I havn't seen the "completly invisible" buttons when adding buttons to Orig menus (they show but are sometimes subtle)

    So I'm probably going to have to live with it

      I couldn't find 4.15beta at that time.
      I thought 4.14 is the latest and download from http://www.dvdshrink.info/titlewriter/.

      I'll try 4.15beta later.

      Regards.

        I tried 4.15beta.

        When changing to Advanced Mode from Wizard Mode, right side is cutted off and preview window is shifted and hide other part.)
        It is same as previous.
        It seems to be occured only on me, I hear the same thing form other Japanese user.(I heard from him the below method for avoiding the problem.)
        I think it is not significant. Because it is easily avoided by directly going Advanced Mode.

        Thanks very much for added function of BACK button, It is very convinient.
        But it is impossible to select NEXT and BACK button by up/down and right/left button.(possible by mouth mouse.) The reson is adjacent of any buttons go to NEXT and BACK button. It was found at least in the case menu has 4 movie-selecting buttons.(No problem when 2 buttons.)

        Regards.

          Okay -- Now I'm totally baffled

          Are we even running the same program

          on 1st page of 5 movie menu Movie 3 left/down leads to back.
          back right to Playall Playall right leads to Next

          Verified in Pgcedit -- there is viable navigation between buttons on 1st menu of 5 movie compiliation

          In other words here everything is fine

          Just tested on 3 5 12 and 22 movie compiliations -- all fine

          Burned compiliations 5 and 12 -- again everything is fine on playback on DVD player -- every button can be reached via remote.

          Just tested Happyface on all above starting with wizard and going back an forth -- All fine at 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768

          I think it is not significant. Because it is easily avoided by directly going Advanced Mode.
          If bothers me immensely -- Now there are 2 things I can not reproduce at all
          no matter what I try. And code doesn't know any geography

          Really Clutching at straws here -- Pls Zip up the TW you are running -- and atttach here I want to see if there are any differences

          What OS are you on??

            back right to Playall Playall right leads to Next
            I re-tried today. The result is what you say. I can't understand. Yesterday night I tried with 5,6 and 7 movie. Now I re-confirmed yesterday's result. It was like below.

            The difference is that yesterday I used program just after install (paste exe file) without re-start PC, today I use from starting PC. TW needs re-start PC?
            Now it works well. Thanks very much, FA.


            What OS are you on??
            Windows XP SP-2.

            Regards.

              Okay well I'm (sort of) glad its now working.
              (the sort of is now its much harder to trace the prob down)

              Did Happyface thumbnail viewer fix itself also?

              And no TW doesn't/shouldn't need a PC restart.
              I think the fuzzy lies in the paste step in TW folder for some reason -- (i've never tested for that) I'll test that next -- Just tested the paste new tw on old folder -- probs still don't show up --I give up
              Maybe I'll just recommend restarting comp when New TW is installed (Or deleting old TW folder)
              Possibly 2 Ver. TW in same folder ??
              Same OS so its not a Vista problem (I've been expecting to hear from those users)
              Just saw a cosmetic problem the next and back buttons aren't aligning in the gaps with smaller fonts selected (they are slightly touching the thumbs) but thats minor (I'll have to make them variable to the gap)

                And heres todays updates

                Cleaned up Next,back jpgs -- fewer black fuzzy artifacts along edges

                Play All Button is Now Text "Play All"

                Added a slider to "fuzzy" the select and background masks (the higher the slider the fewer bits the bits being recolored --Global setting)

                adjusted position and width of next,back,play all buttons stretch to width of gaps between thumbnails Height of these buttons is set to text height

                Adjusted dead space under bottom thumbs (now text height)

                jinjin_jp -- pls just try dropping the files on the old ones -- Lets see if that funky behavior returns (it doesn't happen here)

                Drop the jpg's into menufiles folder

                  Thanks for new beta.

                  jinjin_jp -- pls just try dropping the files on the old ones -- Lets see if that funky behavior returns (it doesn't happen here)
                  I pasted the files this time, too.
                  There is no proplem.


                  Did Happyface thumbnail viewer fix itself also?
                  It is not fixed in 1.5beta and 1.51beta.
                  But it's not problem at all, because possible to avoid.
                  By the way, it is not only about viewer, main-window itself become to square(left-right become short, top-bottom become long) when problem. Viewer may be shifted by it.

                  Regards.

                      This is different from before.
                      (1)Advanced Mode directly : viewer is not shifted, but Happyface window is squre as same as (2).
                      Before main-window was correct.
                      (2)Advanced Mode from Wizard Mode : viewer is shifted, and Happyface window is squre.
                      Same as before.

                      Regards.

                            Okay and yet another attempt in below attachment -- I've removed all resizing of main window
                            And altered the Move window viewer command
                            (so Yes the right side shows some crap from below)

                                That file is pretty much useless when the crash is in a ntdll.dll

                                Again give me a screenshot of TW just prior to hitting Save Changes and a brief description of files you loaded into TW
