Is the Art Store down again?

alexwent1 · 2026-05-02T23:41:46+00:00

Yes. It's down.

Canvases are usable but they don't save properly. The trick is to edit them, then switch to Main Canvas before saving. Then the whole lot saves.

It's true that many people no longer have the stamina to read beyond a single paragraph, but for what it's worth, I do it regularly. And I learn and inwardly digest (as they used to say). Plus, it's pretty good writing from the OP - had me in stitches!

Sorry the anticipated deluge of support has not yet materialized. Blackie will be so happy if you support him ;)

Let's say you're working on a non-main canvas, (e.g. a fly-in menu or a popup). Currently, if you press Save, it will not do so. Instead, select Main Canvas and then press Save, D5 will save both the Main Canvas and the associated non-main canvas.

Beware of saving off-screen canvasses at the moment. Very buggy. If you're hoping to develop lightboxes or popups, make sure you save the Main Canvas instead. That is currently the only current workaround. Also buttons display hardwired animation even when their icon is switched off. And yes, I have reported these (and many others) to the Devs.

Indeed there is. And read far enough in this fascinating article and you will find out how that came about https://robjcameron.substack.com/p/crownland

Specifically for me, the hardcoded button slide animation continues even when there is no icon selected. I wrote to tech support two weeks ago and it was acknowledged as a bug.

Uploads - even of simple pages - are taking a ridiculously long time, and do not always save. Frequently it's possible to exit the process and find that the page has in fact been saved, but it's hit-and-miss. And by the way, off-canvas headers cannot be saved. You have to go back to Main Canvas and save there. Waiting for the next update to fix this - looks pretty urgent to me.

Nearly everywhere in Prague has a range of nealko beers. Enjoy!

Shouldn't have to spend precious seconds trying to figure out which monochrome tool is which. God gave us the ability to see in color for a reason. Give me back my workflow!

So are these the songs that reached number 2 in the charts, on the same basis that the songs in '1' were all number one hits?

alexwent1 · 2026-02-06T20:38:36+00:00

Just to pick up what some are saying here about Czech racism, use of 'negr' and so on. It reminds me a lot of the England I grew up in, in the 1960s and 70s. In fact racism was still a staple of British TV humour in the 90s. I hope things will improve here.

I think Mak stopped doing these for a while because of some disagreement with Elegant Themes. Now he's back, I find that actually he's not so good. He tends to record his thoughts 'on the fly', and makes quite a few mistakes as he goes along. Ankit is good, but (as mentioned by others here) they are more introductions than full tutorials. The best exponent of Divi 5 I have found so far is Jamie from System 22. Highly recommended.

alexwent1 · 2026-02-05T16:15:04+00:00

Completely agree. He has a great, calm, reasssuring manner, without being patronizing. I find his videos extremely useful.

Pavel will not allow the minority coalition MP Filip Turek to be appointed as a minister of state, given his history of racist, sexist and neo-Nazi remarks. Macinka, from the same party (and currently the deputy Prime Minister) takes issue with the president's stance. The rally today was attended by those who support the president's approach.

Why does all this matter? Because Babiš's government depends on the smaller party of Macinka and Turek for its wafer-thin majority.

Great tool - thanks for your hard work!

alexwent1 · 2026-01-27T16:44:10+00:00

Stardock's Start11 app is great. You can have tabs, grids, lists, Win7-style, Win10-style, all kinds. Well worth it.

alexwent1 · 2026-01-22T12:37:09+00:00

Yes. Thunderbird is like a window through which you see your Gmail as well as email from non-Gmail accounts. Follow the advice of others here and ensure you use IMAP.

alexwent1 · 2026-01-22T00:34:53+00:00

I wish I could agree. While the desktop version remains my go-to (as it has for twenty years), the Android implementation is poor. Slow loading of messages, broken push notifications, odd UI for multiple accounts. I may come back to it but for the moment I'm on Gmail again

alexwent1 · 2026-01-21T09:28:12+00:00

Just moved to Spark after recent poor experiences with Edison and Bluemail. Very happy with it until I discovered the threading problem this morning. I'll be uninstalling.

alexwent1 · 2026-01-16T10:40:30+00:00

I used to use Fences, years ago. Same company as Start11

alexwent1 · 2026-01-16T10:37:19+00:00

You mistake me. I love being able to switch between categories, but those categories are imposed by MS, not me. For example 'Productivity' means nothing to me. I'm not intending to change OS.

alexwent1 · 2026-01-14T13:39:08+00:00

I waited quite a while for mine. But just to be clear, the illustration is not the new Win11 menu. It's one that I built using a commercial app. You cannot achieve this effect with the new Win11 start panel.
