Thrawn Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 (edited) Since releasing a Longhornish thingy seems to be the chic thing to do today, I'm letting you all see something that I've been sitting on since June (see below). The browser really truly sucks, so I didn't want to release it. But oh well here it is. :rofl: The shadows can only be drawn by WindowFX. You need the .NET Framework version 1.1 (not just 1.0) and IE. AND I'm realeasing the full source. If any programmer can make me a module that draws shadows under windows, or a nice browser with only basic VB buttons or such, I can integrate this front-end with it, and we would have a visually awesome browser. Or you can change it yourself, and if you make anything interesting, I ask that you release the source on Neowin. The source is very complicated and messy and terrible because I'm a physics dude, not a programmer. Otherwise, I don't intend to improve it. There's lots of problems and bugs and such, and the graphics are very slow. I have ideas on how to fix all these issues, but am not bored enough to implement them (this was made largely on a particularly boring June week). Claim: the graphics are FASTER than any MS DCE on a computer with a dual-core hyperthreading prescott processor ;) Download Demo (207KB) Download Source NON COMMERCIAL USE ONLY!!! :alien: Edited August 18, 2004 by Thrawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Good work. I assume you did this by layering forms on top of one another and having the main form move the child forms with it? Cool stuff, though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoove Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Very nice!! It is a bit buggy and lacks features, but it is already really nice. I like fact that it has transparent borders. I saw you did that by snapping forms to eachother. Very well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
