Frequently Asked Questions

  • The background of tMan is garbled after soft reset. How can I fix it?

    Create a key (DWORD) named 'StartupDelay' in registry on HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to something like 1000 or more (1000 means 1 second).

  • How can I set custom colors for the background and foreground of the task list?

    Create the following keys in the registry (HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan):

    • ClrMenuBg [DWORD]: color of the task list background.
    • ClrMenuFg [DWORD]: color of the task list text.
    • ClrMenuHiBg [DWORD]: color of the hilight bar background of the task list.
    • ClrMenuHiFg [DWORD]: color of the hilight bar text of the task list.

    Color format is the following: 0xBBGGRR (hex). Thus, if you want a blue text insert 0xFF0000 (hex) for ClrMenuFg.

  • How do I disable the annoying 'Kill forcibly' dialog?

    Create a registry key ConfirmTerminate [DWORD] in HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to 0 (zero).

  • How do I disable the soft-reset confirmation dialog?

    Create a registry key ConfirmSoftReset [DWORD] in HKCU\Software\DaProfik\tMan and set its value to 0 (zero).
