Well, I'll chime in:
- 2D Transparency ... its only been like 4 years we've been asking for it. Help us out here. :) I shouldn't have to use Blitz3D to make dissolving particles for a 2D game.
- Allow DIRECT setting of Window/Program icon. Making a daily build hacking with Reshacker or other programs makes the build process a REAL PAIN.
- Better MOD support (the same everyone else has been crying for; vu meters and seeking at the VERY least). How can we write megaleet demos without vu meters? :))
- DIRECT systray iconifying. A simple flag allowing "minimize = minimize to systray" would be enough. As it stands, I have to recommend to my customers they use some third party app to minimize my stuff to systray. That's just not right.
- Audio seeking support. I'd like to be able to load an MP3, get the runtime back in millisecs, then be able to drop the playback to any given millisec. That's REAL BASIC "mp3 player" type stuff, and we can't do it.
- My god ... CLIPBOARD SUPPORT. How can someone be asked to write an app of just about ANY kind without having SOME sort of clipboard support? Oh sure, there is a userlib hack to do it, but c'mon now ... PUTCLIPBOARD() and GETCLIPBOARD() ... please ... even if its just TEXT for starters ...
That will do it for now ... I'm sure I got more stuff in here somewhere ... but this would be a nice start.
