Funny, because the first time I saw that I thought, "Oh my gosh, that is sooo practical I want it." I can see how a separate component/utility might end up being a resource hog, but it seems useful to me to see all the apps tiled like that.
Hi Neil. That is just where I thought it might go. Can we do anything to encourage this?
I wonder what it would take to get Stardock to write an Expose' clone for Windows. Maybe if we make enough clamour?
Hi, Frogboy. Just in case you can't tell, flipdoubt is David Smith, the guy who lives in Plymouth, whose wife works across the street from your new site, and is working his buns off to become an ASP.NET guru. Anyway, hi.
Also, I always thought Martin was THE DesktopX guru.
But which is more efficient: (A) 5 DesktopX Widgets (B) 5 DesktopX Objects
With all the widget hub-bub, I had to give DesktopX another try. In his article, Frogboy talks about the developer communities of both DesktopX and Konfabulator. I think it would be a great leg up for DesktopX if Stardock could add compiled .NET languages to the selection. This way, Microsoft would be doing a lot of the work with regards to exposing the OS to the widgets. I know that it depends on the particular widgets involved, but which is usually more efficient: 5 DesktopX widge
Sorry about the bad link. http://viapoint.com
I am turning off Google Desktop`s ability to search my internet history. Some people might say it poses a threat to privacy, but it simply obfuscates what I am really searching for. If a topic has recently appeared on my mental landscape, I will have looked for it on the internet. Without a doubt. So the first half to three quarters of Google Desktop search results are always from my internet history, and I simply do not consider this part of my desktop. If I am searching for something that I wr
Wow, my wife wouldn't let me read or sit at the computer until at least Sunday, so I forced her to get me some books from audible.com. I'm surprised you're blogging so soon after the event. I blogged my story at http://dreamofblue.com/index.php?m=200407#post212.
I love Pluck. Right now, its the best reason to keep IE around.
Sent mine in yesterday.
I know there aren't that many .NET WindowsForms apps out there, but when is WindowBlinds going to deal with the .NET Button issue? It isn't .NET, but take a look at Acrobat 6 showing the help panel. You will see a similar behavior with UIS2 skins on the "Hide" button shown in the help panel. See it?
There you go mentioning .NET and here I am again, the .NET evangelist. Please, please, please, make the OD+ and other SDKs accessible from the .NET platform. That would rock. You would see an explosion of docklets. Please.
I am soooo into the idea of the TODO list that it hurts, but my forte is .NET development and I'm waiting on pins and needles to see the SDK opened up to .NET developers.
Uh, where is the download link?
I can't believe noone seems to care about the To-Do List idea other than me.
Actually, I've been writing up a vision statement for a "desktop of the mind" sort of thing that is exactly like your To-Do list idea. All these widgets sound great, but where are people posting widgets for OD+?
The idea of points sounds pretty cool. You could buy more points, of course, but what about the next year? And the next? But no, I couldn't live without IconPackager. I have a pathological icon fetish.
Has anyone out there run into issues with certain WB skins in which button text wraps at some extremely inpratical places? The attached screenshot shows NDoc, a .NET application for generating API documentation, with the Astronomy skin. Notice that Add wraps between the two "d" characters but "Edit" does not? I expect WB will catch up as more and more apps are written using .NET, but what is it about certain skins that I should look out for? Is it the font? Is it the skin I'm using at design tim
