Blast window goes partly off screen.

Postby MistyRain on Sat Jul 03, 2010 10:44 am

Hi,

I just recently bought Blast and it seems great and all but upon opening the app this happens:

Blast_ends_up_off-screen.png
Blast_ends_up_off-screen.png (119.97 KiB) Viewed 158 times


Please, can you fix it so the main window stays on-screen? Without having me cluttering up my menubar with stuff I don't want up there... :(

Thanks!

Thanks for the 1.6 update, it works great!

But why the change of menu icons? The new one is simply awful and looks worse than the familiar one in every way! :?

We changed the menu icon to be consistent with the application icon.
It was our best shot at trying to draw a dynamite on 20x20 pixels :-) You're welcome to draw a better one and send us :-)

Thank you for the offer - but you wouldn't want that! ;)

But why change something already beautiful and already working into something worse? You could have changed the "detonator" to a blast cloud, no? You see the menubar icon all the time but rarely see the app icon so... :o

Consistency is good and appreciated, but only when it is working out.

We have found a win-win solution: in next Blast version we'll give users the ability to select what menu bar icon they want to use :-)

Thank you, Kosta!

I want to commend you for being such a responsive developer (an increasingly rare trait these days).

Good — I also am not a fan of the new TNT plunger icon, and am looking forward to the next release… Trivial, true, but what can I say...

It makes me feel well that most of the feedback we've been receiving from the newest release is "bring back the old icon!"
As long as the issues stay on this level, I'm happy :)
