Reply to myBoard : The Mac OSX Dashboard on Windows in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

Hi Andrew ! [quote]Well after having looked through the source code I think it's pretty neat what you're doing. I've seen some of the code in this app around the net in examples on code sites, some of it I think is pretty creative. Although requiring vs.net, .net 3.5 (which is an effin massive download) you're going to limit your developer base pretty severely.[/quote] myBoard is for people like me, .net developers who just hate html/javascript and who have no alternative to cr

[quote]I'll be honest here, I doubt that this approach will work. Find a way to interoperate with existing widget engine, be it Yahoo! Widgets/Konfab, the actual OSX dashboard widgets, DesktopX, or Kapsules. Requiring people to use an IDE like Visual Studio is unwise for creating widgets and it will require the widget creator to be a programmer, not necessarily a user.Also, .NET 3.5 is another problematic choice...the download for XP users is ridiculously huge, and it requires a download for Vis

Reply to myBoard : The Mac OSX Dashboard on Windows in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

Well I don't know/use DesktopX, so I can't compare myBoard with it. The idea behind myBoard is to provide widgets services without having your desktop covered by them all day long. For instance I don't need the to see the calendar all day long. If I need it, I just press the middle mouse button to saumon myBoard and see the calendar, then I click anywhere to make myBoard go away. This is how it's done on Mac OS X, and I think it's very smart. For magnets creation, it's all C# .Net 3.0,

myBoard : The Mac OSX Dashboard on Windows in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

Hi, I'm working on a project called myBoard, it's basically a port of the MacOS X dashboard on Windows XP/Vista. The only difference is that gadgets/widgets are called magnets in myBoard. Basically myBoard is a semi-transparent layer that is invisible to the user unless activated by moving the mouse toward one of the user screen's corner or pressing a hotkey, which can be set to the user's preference. When myBoard is activated, the user's desktop is dimmed and magnets appear in th

Off Topic: Man, I just checked your site... That MyBoard thing you're working on is so cool! Thanks, but myBoard is just a glimps of what can be done with WPF. When Microsoft came with .NET 1.0 and winforms a lot developpers though it was pointless and was eating to much ram compared to native C++ application. The same is

I think this is a great post. Microsoft is investing millions of dollars in WPF, and it is true that the .net community is not that excited about it. Many reasons to that (and I know what I'm talking about). The biggest one is because WPF is something completely new for a windows developper, and it's not easy to learn. So most of them rather stay on orlder technologies (winform) where they feel more confortable and efficient. But make no mistake, one day or the other, WPF will prevai
