New Layout Online

Okay I have chosen the new layout for the site.

Inanis Glass

It is a very similar layout to the operating system 'Vista' by Microsoft. And yes the layout is also very resource heavy. It will be a dramatic factor on my general bandwidth usage which luckily for me due to my great bond with Dunbar Domains is unmetered.

For any users who feel the site is slow there is an easy way to view a low size version

  1. Click circle with pencil (bottom left of screen)
  2. Click change theme (bottom right of popup screen)
  3. Select the bottom theme (called "Light")

This will stay the same for you everytime provided you accept cookies.

Anyway I hope this new layout will be suitable and I will check how it makes the site perform in the coming weeks.

Run Command Button Back On Vista

Okay in the launch of Vista, Windows made a number of changes to their OS visually. One of those was to remove the "run" button from the start area.

This meant using the bottom search area to get what you needed done, a not so great alternative as in my opinion its to messy and not fast enough, due to the looking for suggestions.

Anyway what I am trying to say is you can get it back. EASILY!!

All you need to do is :

1) Click the Windows button

2) Right click on a blank area

3) Select properties

4) In the Start Menu tab click the top "customize"

5) Scroll through until you find run command

6) Enable it

7) Press okay and then okay again.

Thats it done :)
