Bug Description
The imposing message at startup that support is stopping for Microsoft and DC++ is an issue:
1) it cannot be switched off (as far as I can see) so is an unwelcome imposition after the first time
2) is incorrect...I'm using windows 2003 server and support is not ending just yet

Use tabs instead of dialogs for End of XP support message and other - annoucements + announcements |
To post a comment you must log in.
1) is not an imposition it's a serious security warning which meant to be as annoying as it is;
2) is incorrect but as W2k3 (or any other Windows Server version) has never been officially supported for DC++ it means there's no guarantee that DC++ works correctly on those OSes.
But due to the dialogs' blockage of the GUI at startup an annoucement TextFrame tabs would be a lot more useful instead of asynch dialogs, (actually for any kind of dialogs including the upgrade nag dialog).
If there's something to annouce it can be opened and focused during the tab restoration by the WindowManager, regardless of what was the last focused tab.
