Could you add an option to enable/disable the vertical edge, please?

Hello, @don-ho, @rddim and All,

Thanks, Don for fixing the non-grayed state of the Background mode option, in some cases

Now, I think that the @rddim’s request seems interesting. Indeed, let’s suppose you previously indicate more of, let say, 3 numbers. It would be better to uncheck an Enable Vertical Settngs option than to completely erase the input field with the need of re-entering them, later !

Stay healthy !

Best Regards,

I will keep current state and see: if this option is demanded by a lot of people, then I will consider it.

This is what I’m asking for here https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/52752 but your explanation is better, my english is not so good. Thank you for this. Yes, it is not an offer to erase an re-entering every time. Check/uncheck option is more elegant and easy for use but…

Just noticed that the icon of this version has been changed on my PC :

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Not on the taskbar, but something else maybe snuck in early?:

@donho,

like @Alan-Kilborn , I get the masked chameleon in the About box, but the normal Paper+Pencil in the task bar (I tried both small-icons and large-icons for taskbar). But I do see that I get a chameleon as the executable icon on 7.8.6rc3 binary as well:

compared to v7.8.5, which had the paper+pencil for the executable icon as expected:

Thank you @Alan-Kilborn & @PeterJones .
I’ll fix it ASAP.
