Hi madproton,

Cheers

  Hi,
  
  It should. Which part? ...
  
  Showing button's name?
  
  Showing button's name on tooltip?
  
  Showing button's description on tooltip?
  
  Button's Target?
  
  Button's Arguments?
  
  Thanks.

It affects the name, as I said in the subject ;)

  Oops. Sorry. didn't read that part of the subject. :-(
  
  I just tried using %windir% and %TEMP% as the name in the Favorites and it works on mine.

Hmm, that's strange. I saw that on a regular button, but I've now created a Favorite and I'm showing %windir% and it's not expanding it either.

(BTW, I also upgraded to 1.27.3.0)

  Hmm... That is strange indeed. I tried it on another PC and also the portable version and it works. Do me a favor and try the following:
  
  Put %windir% on Name. When you hover it, what does the tooltip display?
  
  Put "Description: %windir%" on Description. When you hover it, what does the tooltip display?
  
  Put %windir% on Target and run it. Does it open File Explorer with C:\Windows as the open directory?
  
  Thanks.

    The tooltip shows %windir% twice (it's on Name and Desc). Running it opens the windows-folder.

      Ah. I see. Try using the new themes that came with 1.27.0.0
      
      Sorry about that. The old themes were just too complicated and very hard to maintain.

I forgot to mention. I added a few basic themes.
