Hi Stefan,

I have the build 5.30
It integrates Windows XP style (colours & font) just fine.
It is the Ad Rule window, Configuration panel which cuts the sentences in half with a font like Segoe UI as default system font, as soo as there is a return line (not with centred text! - not with on line text)

It must the the spacing selection.

Here some more print sceens to illustrate 2 exemples

Another one with a text line with a line retrun

Ps. if the usage on the forum is to post thumbnails only, please let me know.

What Stefan suggested is that you could download de beta version, to see if the problem persist... because in the beta there is a new option for visual styling.

For Stefan: sorry, I did not get this right in the first place
Okay, I will try the beta version.
I will get back to you anytime soon

PS. Is there a date for this beta to be a stable release?

Thanks

Hi back,

Here is a post with a print screen of both the Beta & the Stable release:
it remains the same. Since the Clear Type introduction, the fonts are little larger. It often cause problems in small box designed for post Clear type fonts.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger definition

This is out topic, but the beta look is great

No.
If last beta is tested enough, Denis will decide to declare it as stable.

I don't know much about the back ground of coherences, so please wait till Denis came along, maybe he can enlighten us

It seems that you have configured custom fonts on your Vista or it could simply have new fonts setup by default or even the font smoothing could have caused the fonts to become bigger, while some components in ReNamer are not big enough in size to accommodate for the bigger fonts. I have increased the size of those components that caused the text to get cropped, so you shouldn't have this problem any more.

Please try out the latest dev version, and tell us if you find any other truncated texts.

P.S. Unfortunately I don't have Vista, so I can't test it my-self.

Radio button in UserInput - "Insert in front of the current name" is cut a little bit.
Also in Serialize rule "Incremental" and "Random" buttons could be framed i.e. to be displayed in square...
