Hi folks

actually that screen border doesn't have any white border like yours - must be themes etc you use

mine comes out like this this :

Attachment 204934

for the rest I'm happy with this skippy -Not sure why Ms introduced this skippy -- seems other than faster install nothing of any note (at least with what I do) has changed.

Confirm though MR when mounting an image gives GSOD and re-boot required. Backup / restore which is my main concern works perfectly though - and temporarily if any problems with that I can use Linux DD or rsync for individual files.

A large percentage of elements in the Windows 10 OS is no longer pleasing in appearance!
(That's my polite way of saying, They both look like sh*t!)

Hi there

how often are you actually in the menu for that to be an irritant -- also try using different themes.

Any sort of OS with a GUI has to have some sensible method of executing an application which means essentially some type of cascading menu system -- unless you want that hideous mobile phone infinite scroll thing we had with W8.

I can register zillions of things about Windows I don't like but this particular grouse doesn't even appear on my radar as I'm in the menu system for such a short time in any case.

I don't have any theme installed, I don't like the themes (some of them are horrible, like the ones you see in some screenshots that some people upload here, but it's a matter of taste) and the menu that you show in that image is not the one I'm talking about, that menu doesn't has the white borders.


I refer to the context menus of the folders, drives and also the one that appears on the desktop.

Hi there

still can't see what you mean -- Desktop ??? is it this ome



cheers

Hi there

@LEOPEVA64

I know it's Friday and I must be getting really obtuse here - but still can't see what you are seeing

I'm trying to understand what problem is but you've lost me as I can't reproduce it.

On desktop for example Macrium on desktop --right click on the macrium and I get :



so I haven't a clue about the problem.

cheers

Jimbo,

Are you using the dark theme? For me the outline only occurs in the dark theme.

Hi folks

with latest patch (Free version X-64) MR throws error with XML. (On skippy 18242)

Backup seems to work (and it restores OK) so I suppose creating a schedule is when it throws error.

Hi, I had the same error a couple of days ago testing macrium free with a couple of machine (win 10 pro 18.03 not insider, and win 8.1) i do not remember if it was in 8.1 or 10; point is I do not think the error is specific to "skippy".

cheers!

Hi folks

another defect in skippy

network (and monitor) shows Internet connection functioning 100 %

Try and connect to internet

randomly get this



(Translation effectively means -- Can't connect to internet - no network connections available) which is absolute B/S as the little icon shows full connection- other machines can ping this one etc.

when it woks it's fine but shouldn't lose internet connections -- here I have one of the best and fastest ISP/s on the planet. !!

Only have these random dropouts from Skippy. - Annoying as I'm trying to stream SKY GO footie (soccer played with proper round ball) from England's premier league !!).

Oh well off to pub for 2nd half !!!

Cheers
