One thing though. As I said, when using MWI, the scroll is also active, either you're on an internet page, or in winamp. Is there anyway to make the scroll wheel only for MWI, when MWI is running?
For example, when in winamp, shuffling through MWI's menu witht he scroll wheel, it also togglles the volume in Winamp. Same thing when you're winamp's playlist. Using when scroll wheel in MWI also means you're surfing through the palylist...

In fact, MWI is programmed to block passing wheel messages to the system as long as one of it's windows is open.
I've rebuilt the libraries in the setup package and put 'em online in a separate package http://phoco.net/__Bin/MWIProDllsOnly.zip

Please download it and copy them over the existing ones.

Works fine now!

I finished the fabrication of the iDrive button. Inspired by TonyG, I decided to put an encoder in the button. Looks nice too. (can't see that, because of the phone quality of the pic)

But the impulses sent by the encoder are a little faster than the ones by the scrool wheel, so is there any way I can make the scrool wheel not that sensitive from the software?

Looks hot man, even with the poor pictre quality.

Yes, there is an option in the configuration called "SlowDown" the higher the value the less sensitive it gets.

Thanks! What can I say...Samsung's ideea about 1.3 MP...

Good to know Zorro. Actaully now it works preety well, as I had this problem when I tested with it with the actual encoder. But now with the button on, it works well, as it's bigger in size, and it slows it down a little.

Unfortunatly I have a new problem now...I don't know, it may be something I did, but I get this error when MWI starts...clicking "OK" wil only make it appear again...

This is a bug in the Configuration where the MWI window is set to Royalbue instead of Royalblue. If you correct this setting, the problem will be history.

Fixed it the old fashioned way: uninstall and install again.

I still find it a little tricky to configure. Will this be easier to do in a future release?

Suggestions?

Among many things, I like the fact that when you press next song for example, for a couple of seconds MWI remembers the previous position, so if you want to switch to another song you can easily do that by pressing it again. (sorry, couldn't explain myself better...English is not my native language)

How do you get ridd of the voice? I've set all things in the configure menu regarding voice to false, but the voice is still there? How can I close the dictionary? I didn't find any use for those letters yet...(in MWI that is...

) I'd find it more usefull if it were only a task switching operation.

Also, I noticed that if you set it in configuration so that MWI toggles the volume, when toggling through the applications in MWI (so not through their options; for example: Frodo player-media player-roadrunner....) the volume aslo changes. When entering the options for an aplication this problem disapears.
Same thing happens when in dictionary of switching applications.

I've used this app everyday for a few days now, and it's ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!! I like it so much I use it on the home pc as well!
Zorro, you're a genius!
