I really should read the whole thread before replying to a single item - as then I would have seen Kukurykus's reply pointing you in the right direction (better than I did) :).

Yes there is bug I reported at bottom of previous page, and if you missed that there's probably another bug in other topic. I mean XMBC can't see more than one support key used after HOLD command: Clickable link

Something new I just found, but I don't remember how it worked before.

When XMBC is disabled and I open Settings I think I can do everything like XMBC is enabled.

The only difference is, when I'm using mouse buttons and roll appropriate labels don't turn into yellow.

I saw that but didn't have an answer (as I see no reason it shouldn't work) and I haven't had time to look in detail/try it here - so I haven't responded yet (to remind me)...

Now I'm back at work, and Ive a new VR headset to play with at home, time for XMBC disappeared!

Always been that way. If XMBC is disabled, the HOOK is not running so it wont send the messages to the setup window to say a button was pressed/wheel rolled. Not a problem - by design.

I found new clue:
untitled5.JPG
If I first enable Debug mode - the red glow appears, after that if I disable XMBC the mouse in the icon becomes darker but the red glow and the black background are still there. Then (while XMBC is disabled) if I disable Debug mode - the icon does not change at all.

When Debug mode is disabled, if I disable XMBC - the icon changes to darker mouse without black background:
untitled2.JPG
At that stage if I enable Debug mode the icon does not change at all too.

On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, Maxoku and Sukemaru also use WinXP so as they haven't reported such problem maybe it's just me and indeed it would be better to leave it. I have the strange feeling that if I install fresh WinXP the problem might be gone :?

I don't think its relevant (or a clue) to the black background....

If XMBC is disabled then changing the debug on/off does not change the icon - it stays either red background (if debug was on when XMBC was disabled) or no background (if debug was off when XMBC was disabled)... it does actually still turn debug on/off so it may be considered a bug (that it does not even attempt to change the icon) but not a major one (as soon as you re-enable XMBC the icon is correct.

As you say others have not reported it, I cant reproduce it on my XP so I'm inclined to leave it for now and see if it gets more reports. I would really like to think there are very few XP users out there given how insecure it is - and if there are XP users - I certainly hope that they are very well isolated from the internet/local networks :).

Today I discovered {activate} tag that is going to help me much in my work as once every about 10 times switching from Bridge to Photoshop the Ps does not have focus, so sending signal via XMBC has no effect.

Thanks to {activate} my hassle is finally gone! I had to write it in XMBC 2.16 Beta but it's closed from long.

I found also why I missed this tag. It's because I was inactive on this froum from Mar 11 to Nov 27, 2017, so when JTB3 requested for that in old topic: (Feature Request) Middle Button-Activate Window Under Cursor

Till now when I switched from Bridge and my script by XMBC was not triggered I had to move mouse of at least one pixel. Now each time I click the middle button it's going to never disappoint me again, YUPI! :lol:

I just thought it might give you a hint that in one case the 'XMBC disabled' icon hides the black background however in the other case (when black background and red glow are there) it doesn't hide it.
Anyway, as you say, the best would be to wait until after v2.19 is released and see if someone else will complain :)

UI bug that for bad lack happens to me too often and now I found what causes it. On list of Profiles when you click on right edge of any box (or between box and name of profile) it's going to (un)tick the item, but the Apply button is not going to get enabled. Is there chance to narrow right latitude of boxes of 1 - 2 px ?

Can you screenshot and circle? I'm not sure what you are referring to (and I cant seem to recreate by clicking anywhere around the profile tick - only in it. But I think it's a standard Windows check list box so I doubt there is much I can do about it without a massive amount of work making my own control (that will never happen)....

It may help - I may have missed the crucial bit of your message...

That red area is sensitive. When you click on it (un)ticks boxes without activating Apply button.
It is on edge and one pixel outside. On other sides it does not work with cursor, so as should.
