Reallynice little utility, works well. I was wondering if instead of thumbs would be possible to show only icons of running apps?

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have the same options as the old versions. 
 
I use the old version like this:

The old version crashes a lot and I was hoping that a new version would take 
care of that. But if I can't run this new version like shown in the image above 
then I guess I'm stuck with the old version.

"I don't know if that is a good idea. Any lines of text with any font size is 
always narrow vertically and as wide as possible horizontally. So putting 
titles 
underneath thumbnails saves more room for the window." 
 
Never the less, that is a feature I would love to have ;)

I was going to test it more before uploading but I updated ScreenThumbs and one 
other app so I uploaded this at the same time with those others. I forgot to put 
DONOTWAIT tooltypes in tooltypes. Just go to WBStartup, open the information 
requester, go to "Icons" page and untick/uncheck that "Wait..." gadget.

Now it's using pen 1 and 0 (I think). I tested it using JAM1 but I think it 
didn't look good so I desided to use JAM2. But I have to finetune this a little 
bit more But I might add that feature someday. 
 
Thanks for the crashlog I have to check what's wrong. And I have to test that 
ORIENTATION=VERTICAL mode too. 
 
So the thumbnails picture size is taken from WIDTH and HEIGHT tooltypes. If you 
enable window titles option it will add automaticly the font size to window 
height. So the picture size itself is still that HEIGHT value. If you disable 
picture and make it show the titles only then make HEIGHT=0 and make WIDTH as 
wide as you like. (I have to add that to the readme !)

Ohh btw, runnign it as a commodity and putting it in wbstartup still makes it 
lock up the boot process. it 'never returns'.

SHOW_WIN_TITLES bugs out if you use ORIENTATION=VERTICAL 
 
Could you make it possible to select window title text color and background? 
 
And perhaps make it possible to view the window title to the right of each 
window icon? (Setting for window image width+height as well as window title 
width) Would be nice if it could look like this: 
 
[code] 
[[IMG]Title 1][[IMG]Title 2][[IMG]Title 3] 
[/code]
