Orphalese Tarot Zone Community Forum

I don't know if this is a glitch or by design, but I know I'm confused. (My normal state of affairs, so nothing new there... )

My default is to have Show Background turned off. When I start up the program, I see the pack of cards on my desktop. That's just my preference.

When I open the Orphalese Tarot Zone, my desktop is covered by the Zone. If I right-click on my pack, I see that Show Background has be turned on. So far, so good.

When I close OTZ, however, I just have a solid grey background. If I look, Show Background has supposedly been turned off again, but I can't see the desktop. Turning it on (no visible change) and then off again restores the desktop, but it seems like that should be unnecessary.

This is a very small issue, obviously, so if it *is* a bug, please don't feel the need to hurry and fix it. It can easily wait for a larger release, in my opinion.

Thanks again for an outstanding program!

Hi Cowhead, I just tried it and I have the same thing happen. This is good news because it makes it much easier to track down what is going wrong. I will try and get a fix into the next update. Thanks!

I've told Richard already about something funny related with backgrounds I'm experiencing these days. I used to work with Orphalese like Cowhead described, but I switched to fullscreen Show Background and everything went fine. From some days ago, when I access OTZ, the browser window does not appear. Tampered yesterday with Show Background and Full Screen commands, and it went to normal. But this morning happened again. Same solution: turn off background and fullscreen, some clicks on options, and it was back. Dunno if other users are experiencing the same, but AFAIK, this was not program's behaviour. Not a major bug nor an urgent one, anyway. Best.

I have seen some similar behaviors -- however I seem to have a different bit of confusion that is probably mine --

I would like OT to remember the state of the show background selection between invocations of the program. Sometimes I like to have the background, more often, I'd rather just have it be my regular desktop. OT always seems to have show background selected anytime I start.

Is this design, user error or a new feature request?

Thanks,

Hi Rog,

You should check you haven't got Always show background at launch selected on the program tab in the General Settings part of the option form.

Cheers
Richard
