2710.2Scroll vs Jump, is this configurableNWD002::FEIGLEFri May 02 1997 01:0612
    On this taskbar item...
    
    Two machines.... one machine, with autohide, the taskbar scrolls off
    the  bottom, and then scrolls away.
    
    2nd machine (and slower I might add) with autohide, the taskbar jumps
    off the bottom, and then jumps away.
    
    QUestion: is this configurable, and where.  I prefer the "jump" on my
    486, the "scroll on my 686 is for the birds.

2710.3One machine has Plus! installed?STAR::DZIEDZICTony Dziedzic - DTN 381-2438Fri May 02 1997 08:093
    The "smooth" effect is part of the Plus! pack.  I'm not sure if
    it's only a registry key (searches for "smooth" didn't turn up
    anything interesting, nor did "taskbar").
2710.4Both machines have plus... NWD002::FEIGLEFri May 02 1997 11:389
    I have "plus" on both machines.... which might imply that it is
    configurable.  Wonder why it would be different on one machine vs the
    other.... as I prefer the "jump"...
    
    This could be my first attack at the registry (but I wonder why, since
    I used the same PLUS kit on both machines) so if there is an entry I
    should be looking for.... then I'll have a go.

2710.5Display Properies=>Plus tabPOWDML::HUSTONJeff HustonMon May 05 1997 15:324
    This feature is managed with the "show widow contents while dragging"
    check box.  Look on the display properities, and PLUS tab.

2710.6Changes on one machine, but no affect on otherNWD002::FEIGLEMon May 05 1997 22:2128
    Strangest thing.... I checked as -1 says, and found both of the display
    properties for PLUS identical.  Both machines have Show window contents
    while drafgging, and show icons using all possible colors...... clearly
    one of those would affect the "jump" vs "scroll" of the task bar <duh>
    
    On the machine that had "scroll", I unchecked the show contents box,
    and then rechecked it.  Then hit apply.... it went to "jump" <duh>
    
    
    Nope, I rechecked it... smooth seems to be the result of show window
    contents while dragging.  I can turn it on/off on that machine.  Okay,
    now we check the second machine.... which has the same features
    clicked, but jumps....
    
    On this machine (486), the show contents box check/vs/unchecked has no
    affect on the jump/scroll of the taskbar.  WSince it jumps, and it is
    the way that I want it....... I'll reload PLUS... just to see if it
    didn't do itself right the first time.
    
    You figure... I have both machines working now the way I want them, but
    I'm going to reload Plus on the one that won't "scroll", just to make
    sure I've got it right!
    
    Thanks for the pointer to plus.... strange that "dragging" would affect
    smooth/vs/jump on the taskbar.  And then only on one of two
    machines.... <duh>
