Notepad3 5.19.528.2228 RC Released

[RaiKoHoff]

Notepad3 GUI (all languages) is not checked against "Windows Classic" desktop theme.
(Some text-fields and buttons need some enlargement).

Bug in Goto-Dialog (maybe more dialogs?) in 32-bit (x86) version : Number format.

[RaiKoHoff]

@hpwamr : You and @rizonesoft have to decide to support "Windows Classic" mode or not.
If answer is "Yes", some dialogs (string widths and button widths) need to be adapted :thinking:

[hpwamr]

If there is a real demand for the "Windows Classic theme", I can put it on my medium-term task list. 😃
Let's wait for @rizonesoft's answer... 🤔

[RaiKoHoff]

The wrong number format for Win32-bit (x86) of the Goto-Dialog should be fine with beta RC2 version _5.19.529.2231_RC2 (see #1129 for beta channel access).

[hpwamr]

Tested: Notepad3 v5.19.529.2231 RC2 (x86)
The Goto-Dialog issue is solved. 👍

[rizonesoft]

@RaiKoHoff @hpwamr I do not think it will be a good idea to try and support classic themes. We should try to keep development focused on new and updated technologies.

[hpwamr]

As far as I am concerned, this issue may be closed.... 😉

[RaiKoHoff]

@rizonesoft @hpwamr : Okay, I agree. It should be mentioned on the front pages (Rizonesoft and GitHub), that there will be no GUI fixes for "Windows Classic Theme".

Hello @freesoft0000
Could you explain a little more why you use "Windows Classic Theme" 🤔

• Which version of Windows do you use ( 7, 8, 8.1, 10 (32bit / 64bit) ) ?
• Do you use an "add-on" theme ? If yes, witch one ?
• Classic themes are used by many users ? Could you explain why ?
• Other reason... ?

Edit:
The opinions of other "Notepad3 users" are also welcome. 😃

It's the windows7 system.
For example, the computer hardware is older, in order to be faster, will use the classic theme Or some of the classic themes that are used under Windows PE

There are some users Windows systems that are not registered and can only use classic themes, such as my

Hello @freesoft0000 ,
We support Windows 7 and now I understand why some Notepad3 users are using Classic Themes.
Your arguments have changed my opinion, so I put your request in my short-term to-do-list. 😉

Hello @freesoft0000 ,
We checked the Notepad3 GUI against the "Windows XP Classic desktop theme" for all languages and all dialog boxes.

Conclusion: the changes needed to satisfy this old "Windows XP Classic desktop theme" will have a very negative impact on the overall appearance of Notepad3 GUI under the original desktop theme of "Windows 7, 8, 8.1 to Windows 10". 🤔

In these conditions, we have decided not to support the "Windows XP Classic desktop theme" at all !

As far as I am concerned, this issue may be closed....
