Comments on Action Items

  1. These items are waiting for the creation of high contrast ready bitmaps by Stella Schulze (STS). The implementation of the interfaces to set bitmaps/image list for high contrast mode is done.

    In the meantime dummies should be used to be able to start with the implementation.

  2. Responsible moved from CJ to Stella Schulze

  3. All attendees shared the opinion, that most automatism are unwanted and that there should be a possibility to shut them of in an easy way.

  4. According to CJ, we need this feature to make the help system accessible. This will mainly include changing the style and font size for the help system.

2 Removing unused Bitmaps

We discussed shortly that we need to remove unused Bitmaps sometime.
CJ said that the old black&white toolbox images can be removed.
FS suggested that we automate this process by modifying the bitmap tool and the resource compiler to generate a list of used bitmaps.
PB said we have to edit the global office imagelist by hand to get rid of old unused explorer images.
According to CJ, this should happen as soon as we have some time for it.
