2. "Distributing thumbs.db files is worse.
Distributing a JAR file with a thumbs.db file is even worse than that."
What is that and how do I stop that? It automatically formed inside of the file when I "sent it to Zipped folder" Is this like security for me bad? so-so bad? Really bad? Slightly bad? What could happen?
Not a security issue. The thumbs.db file contains the thumbnail icons from a Windows Explorer thumbnails view (more info). It's just unsightly to have those files included in a ZIP.
Quote:3. Bright background, can fix. What colors would be more suitable?
I'm a fan of default colours and subdued greys, personally.
Quote:5. I know about the columns shifting, and I don't know how to fix that! Well, I think I might be able to, so I'll try it. I'm using GridBagLayout, and I think I'll just need some larger spacer to hold everything..?
Trying to get the different layouts to behave like I want them to is one of my least favourite parts of Java ;).
Quote:8. What can I do about the Arreat Summit problems? Is there another better source?
There's this site, but I can't vouch for its accuracy, either.
Quote:9. Hmm, I know the resizing of the runeword properties kind of sucks. I could try two things. First, I might be able to force it to expand to fit everytime, have to try. Otherwise, maybe if I just make the backgrounds the same thing, you wounldn't notice it? I'll see here.
Ideally, it would be a fixed-size text area with line wrap, I think.
