Most of you guys will be asking What is NewGenBook:Clique, Basically it's a better alternative than using the original facebook app & website! we've redesigned the original FB site from the ground up making it a unique and better experience but not taking away the enjoyment of surfing Facebook.

We already have several desktop apps for all major browsers - It is currently available for Google Chrome/, Firefox, Opera and Safari! & we are slowly expanding to other platforms such as iPhone, windows & Android.

Enjoy! & don't forget to like our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/newgenbook

to stay up to date & see more screenshots on the iphone and mac app development watch this thread and watch the dribbble page: Dribbble - Show and tell for designers or follow me on twitter: @jeayese

Edited by Denis W

We're nearly done! If you're interested in testing PM me for an invite!

Here's the todo List for NewGenBook 3:

Do something with leftCol for smaller resolutions (can't see bottom)?

Tiny contentCols (ex: Events/Pokes)

Rounded buttons awkwardly beside each other (ex: message search)

Groups headers are awkward http://localhostr.com/files/2XKG8yD/capture.png

Nav jewels active states revert to orig black images (Chrome)

Weird messages bug (leftCol pushed too far left)

Fixed:

Fix these: http://d.pr/war - Also experiment with the left sidebar Profile Icon is show twice which kills the UI a little

Fix black bars: http://d.pr/vJsy

Footer shown in stylish (bug?) http://d.pr/6BNt

Ticker needs to be always on top, Search bar needs to be more to the left so the ticker can fit: http://d.pr/HyX4

Black Bars around search bar: http://d.pr/mFlk

Strange messages issue with the left sidebar and also right sidebar ads: http://d.pr/YOWR

Bug in ticker: http://d.pr/aRgr

Notification bug: http://d.pr/UjSD

"Sort" needs to be aligned to the right and the box removed around it.

Add Thank You page -> transparent like button

Red notification icons from newgenbook in this script

Timeline date sidebar bug (profiles/pages!)

Align Search bar

Right sidebar removed completely when chat/ ticker is not clicked on

Get rid of seperator on right of user icon in nav

Get rid of Find Friends link in nav?

Old profile pages

Move dropdown to other way in case of long page names

Some content cut off at top (ex: photo pages)

Nav hover must be proper height

Add Thank You page -> transparent like button

Chat sidebar too narrow

Search bar button needs image to be proper height

Fix nav dropdown button (active arrow image too high)

"Should" have been?

I can't agree - it wastes a lot of left-hand space. Facebook has a LOT of info to display.

Yes but that "info" can be access easily from rolling over the left area, watch the video to see what I mean.

Looks really good, although out of personal preference, I prefer block colours over say, gradients.

Cheers, We're going to make the colours customizable, solid or gradients you guys can pick ^_^

I did. Currently I don't need to roll-over anything though - so I see it as a negative step...

    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
