Why?

The result of this sanction can you see here: EmEditor 10-RC3 on Windows 2000-SP4.

Not really pretty.

@MariaK: According to the change log in the opening post, support for Windows 2000 has been dropped. Windows 2000 was probably the last Windows version to use that kind of button.

Hello Maria,

Maria, I am sorry I didn't realize you were still using Windows 2000. I resumed support for Windows 2000 SP4 on RC3 because of some feedback from Windows 2000 users. However, the only 16 colors and True Color bitmaps are supported now. 256 color bitmaps are not support any more. There always have been issues developing 256 color bitmaps, and as we need to add more command buttons to toolbars, we dropped the 256 color support altogether.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you!

And what should, in your opinion, all the Windows 2000 users do now?

On the one hand you write »Supported OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 SP4/Server 2008/Server 2003«, on the other hand you deny any support for 256 color icons (Windows 2000 do not support icons with alpha transparency). That does not fit.

I’m very disappointed about your policy.

Maria,

I am sorry we didn't support true color. We support Windows 2000 SP4, but that is when you use 16 color mode. True color is not supported on Windows 2000. Please continue using EmEditor with 16 color mode.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Thank you,

No, I will not do that. And I will not use EmEditor 10 anymore. That’s my final consequence from this affair.

Hi Maria,

I made the True Color work on Windows 2000 SP4 on the next version of v10 (RC 8). Although the toolbar on Windows 2000 may not look exactly same as the toolbar with the true alpha layer on Windows XP+, most people won't see the difference. Please try when it becomes available.

Thank you,

Aren't you a little overreacting? It's the function not the look of the buttons whats important. And by the way: Even Microsoft is abandoning Win2K.

@Yutaka
You did a great work with EmEditor. I just switched over to it and no major complaints so far. Just missing a function to layout code properly with one click (espacially HTML) but i can understand your decision to keep the codebase nice, simple and clean. Can hardly wait for v10 and its new outline and diff features.

so long

Hello ADT,

Thanks for using EmEditor Professional!

If I understand your question correctly, "HTML Tidy" might work best for you. An example as to how you configure an external tool, please see the EmEditor Professional 9 feature page or http://www.emeditor.com/images/emeditor9_tool_prop_e.png

Please let me know if you have further questions. Thank you!
