Silkypix SE 3.0 Tips

Installing and working with Silkypix

Silkypix runs fine on Crossover Office (using version 7.2). Only 2 nasty bugs:
- installing isn't straightforward
- minimizing and resizing of the program window ends in a non-responding program

On installing:
During install 2 windows are black while input is required. However, it is possible to see what buttons need to be pushed. When using KDE 4 or KDE 3, XFCE or Gnome with Compiz etc, you can switch to other programs with ALT-TAB. During switching small windows are shown with the contents of the windows. And there the Silkypix window is visible! So you see what choice you need to make and what button to push. Quite easy, once you've found out.

On resizing:
Minimizing does work, but maximizing afterwards gives a black screen. Als switching tasks with ALT-TAB doesn't work Resizing does work; just go to the edges of the window and "pull" the border in the required direction. This way you can also switch to other applications.

Some minor problem with Silkypix (in versions 7.2 and beta 8)
- pull-down menu's contain only 2 rows
- you need the click and hover in the menu row, in order to see the menu items


NB: in current release candidate-versions 8, no improvements can bee seen in the install problem
