Funny Vista (and XP too I think) "bug"
-
If you have Aero enabled in Vista, try this: see the buttons at the top right (or left, all of you with backwards languages :p ). Now, try right-clicking on the "close" button. Nothing happens. Move mouse a bit to the left, right lick again. Still nothing. Keep moving it. At roughly the middle of "Maximize" button, the window menu starts appearing. Seemed weird to me, until I realized that the middle of the "Maximize" button is roughly where all 3 buttons end when there is no theming of windows enabled. I think it is a bug in the right-click calculations, but maybe there is a specific purpose for making the menu appear at the same displacement no matter what theme.

Wow, i couldn't find the bug, but isntead it was revealed to me a feature of the skin i currently have installed. If i right-click the caption bar, i get no menu, but the window shrinks to just the caption bar! Convenient no?
My current favourite word is: Bauble!
