Problems in "Help > About"

[Pete]

In "Help > About", I can't see the build number. Also, I just installed this build but it says that I have 0 days left of my evaluation (but Cirrus works anyway).

Actually it looks like the build info is there but the font color makes it almost invisible.

(build 451 / WinXP)

Thanks, Pete. Apparently we have a problem with font color and transparency under Windows' classic theme. I'll look into it.

The evaluation mechanism will kick in with the next release.

Thanks for the work on the Help > About box. Unfortunately I can't see the build number and that's the most important thing to me.

It's probably because of my system font, but it would be nice if you'd consider either (1) putting the build number on its own line or (2) hard-coding a small-enough font.

Yes, it's because of your system font. You'll probably find several places in BC where the text won't fit in the dialog.

Once the beta is over, it won't include the "beta" and "full debug", so it will fit for you then. Also, "Check for Updates" will tell you your build number.
