ViGlance is amazing! ONly problem and please if someone can help is that when I start up my system, none of my pinned icons appear. They only appear AFTER I've opened a program (e.g. launch my web browser) Someone PLEASE HELP!!!
Viglance is good, sbar gives lots of error and do not work fastly viglance next version will have the same windows 7 like jump list and live preview, no can tell that it is windows vista or xp
DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM IN VISTA! This will alter your taskbar size and you will NOT be able to restore it to normal even after uninstall. Save yourself the trouble and just stay away from it!
Too bad, doesn't support Vista x64.
I think this is developed more for Vista than for XP. Buggy as hell for me. ViGlance while not having some of the features of SBar is far more stable and it works properly
I want this but given the issues with it not working as reported below and the website saying this is still in beta with many bugs makes it not very appealing, Because I work from home and can't afford my system becoming unstable/crashing.
MDL Please Repost this, when it is more stable.
I think there is a bug in this program. My XP machine shows a fatal error after installing it?
