NewGenBook Desktop for Windows, OS X & iPhone

Hey there fellow Aussie!

I just tried 1280x 800 on my macbook air, seems fine on the newsfeed page but on the timeslines/ profile pages it seems a little messed up... Is that what you're talking about?

Updated title and first post.

Only thing I can see thats messed up on the timeline is the status bar thing up the top of the page where you upload photos/videos and update your status/life events.

Here is a screenie to explain what is messed up on mine. Its in full rez so what you see is how it looks exactly on my screen

Lets not forget the odd vertical alignment of the search box.

I saw the preview on the first page and thought this looked great. I installed and then removed it because it doesn't really look anything like that any more!

I did quite like the layout on the first page, but not so much anymore unfortunately. Definitely better than default facebook :)

Anarkii, You're using an older version which is broken to death, please get the new version from http://thinqtek.com/newgenbook/ & by simply clicking the desktop -> Google Chrome

Remember to uninstall any previous version of Newgenbook & if the one you downloaded gives you an error simply open the extensions page and drag the crx file into chromes window... You should notice the difference almost instantly!

HI DEV HERE.

So just started using this again and I love the changes except now my profile isn't centered, not sure if it's supposed to be off to the left or if it's a bug?

Yeah, sorry about that. Facebook's code is sort of wonky since they clearly designed it for a fixed width and not a dynamic width that we're sort of forcing here. I sort of threw in a percentage padding on that just so it'd be pushed a bit to the right instead of all the way on the left for now, as a temporary fix.

I've noted this bug and am working on a fix.

Ooh yeah, that's an oooold version. I've had to fight against Facebook's code changes a lot since then. :p

Firefox version is coming! Just ironing out a few bugs:

[Jase]

NewGenBook 3.1.2 for google chrome has been updated, go grab the latest build from here: http://thinqtek.com/newgenbook - Remember to uninstall the previous build!

Change log:

- Ticker now has a shadow

- left sidebar improved rollovers

- New Notification Animation, not just a fade in fade out.

- Heaps of CSS3 updated in the code

- aligned profile/ Timeline (still a little buggy)

Also don't forget to like our facebook page

Opera, Safari & firefox have been planned for release next week.

Love the new animation on the notifications, I think it's more gimmicky than useful but it's a nice addition! And the alignment issue of my profile is fixed now so thanks :)

EDIT: Just noticed the shadow on the sidebar, looks awesome!

[Jase]

Cheers, We've been looking into the animation part of notifications.. any idea what would be better than the shake?

[Jase]

What browser?

Chrome (latest stable version).

[Jase]

In other news, Safari users, simply head over to http://extensions.apple.com/then go to Social Networking & Scroll until you see NewGenBook Then hit "Install Now" - It's a little buggy but we're on the apple extensions page! HUZZAH! Stay tuned for future updates!
