Two duplicates of "Customize Notification Icons" can be opened, if from different places

Submitted by antiufo on August 28, 2008 to Bug

The "Customize Notification Icons" can be opened in two ways:
* From the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties"
* From the "Customize" link (Windows 7)

If you click "Customize" twice, the window will be opened 1 time, but if you open it from the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties, it will be opened an other time.

The window opened from "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" won't have an icon, instead the one from "Customize" will.

What's the point of suggesting anything about Win7 (so early milestone)?
"Find, publish and rate user experience quirks in Windows Vista"

+1. Though I would like to see something different to happen to the notifaction area...

Changed title from ["Customize Notification Icons" can be opened twice if from different places] to [Two duplicates of "Customize Notification Icons" can be opened, if from different places].

I agree w/ .Chris again. Hopefully us pointing it out will get it fixed.

I have to demote, as this is just a supposition. The whole thing could be completely different once Windows 7 is officially out.

.Chris wrote on August 29, 2008, 4:20pm

well what better way to give early feedback then :)

@luskaner: Isn't the point of this whole thing for Microsoft to find the quirks in Windows and fix them in Windows 7? Why should we have to limit this to quirks that already existed when Vista was finished?

.Chris wrote on August 30, 2008, 11:08pm

I agree. some people need to take a chill pill and not take this site so seriously

luskaner wrote on August 30, 2008, 11:36pm

See for yourself -6
Win7 as a product which is under dev will have bugs but they are likely to be fixed so soon that Microsoft will not even read this before is fixed.

.Chris wrote on August 30, 2008, 11:37pm

so? doesnt matter. its called FEEDBACK!

@luskaner:
if that last statement were true, we wouldn't have this site to point out Vista's UX quirks in the first place.
if those of us with access to Windows 7 can pick out quirks during development and MS actually takes our suggestions seriously, BEFORE RELEASE, then I think it would be a good thing.

+1, though the title could be clearer.

haha well said Sarreq Teryx

@ luskaner. stop taking the site so seriously. This is great feedback for Microsoft. They dont just make an OS by them selves (though most of the time they do) they get FEEDBACK! ok FEEDBACK! the key here is FEEDBACK! with no FEEDBACK, no windows kid

FEEDBACK!

@.Chris
Do you think am I stupid?
Stop repeting FEEDBACK a thousand times i know what it means
You have already said i was taking the site so seriously but the truth is that this site if for vista like it or not.
Still more people think this submission is inadequate (-5).

.Chris wrote on September 2, 2008, 6:37pm

Still dont take the site fo freaken serously. Long has the control. he so far left this open so he must like it..

go play in traffic

luskaner wrote on September 2, 2008, 7:25pm

So let's stop this stupid conversation i vote the way i want while other people demote and don't even give a reason

Okay well about THIS issue:

One) why would anyone even bother opening the customize option twice? if you got it open already then there you go. MORONS.

Two) it kind of makes sense to me actually if you click Customize from the system tray, and it shows the little icon in the corner that means you opened it from the taskbar directly... but if you open the customize window from with taskbar properties... etc etc, then it's just a standard window.

If I could have it my way for that particular option, among others, I would prefer no icon to display at all in any window.

I remain neutral on this issue as I do not care one way or the other about it. So I will not vote at all. Ha! How do ya' like them apples?!
