Windows X: If you like my sidebar when it is finished, could you include it in LTP 4.1? It is supposed to be authentic to the original as much as possible, with just one change: each module has a title section.

What I need to do is:

1. Add Preferences... and Add/Remove Modules... functionality

2. Allow user to disable modules and enable them

3. Add Host commands for persisting settings

4. Add lots more modules

5. Add hands to the clock

Here's how it's coming so far:

Some question please...

1. What's for the reason to hide if there's nothing much to hide

2. How'bout resources it's consuming?

3. What if I resize this bar?

4. Does it require .NET Framework? I hope it doesn't

5. Is it better than this one?

The clock on that sidebar is vile :sick:

three questions for you Windows X :)

Is the Longhorn 4 transformation pack out yet or is 4.1 the next release ?

The side bar in your slate PDC vs, Windows X .. how do I activate it ?

(I currently use smartbar XP ... still configuring it though ...)

Can I add stuff to your sidebar like I can with smartbarXP such as news tickers ..etc ?

:D

1. 4.0 is not release yet so no 4.1

2. You can do it by install Longhorn SideBar 3.0 which release before Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0

3. It doesn't meant anything to hide because it already fit with 800x600 and SmartBar XP consume so much for RAM so I make the smallest SideBar consuming.

You're killing me with this releases.

WHEN are you going to release them? I want the TP 4.0 so I can change my pc.

I see screenshots of others, and it's painful.

[Tai]

thanks Windows X :)

You are right about smartbarXP ... loves to eat ram indeed :devil: :devil:

will try your sidebar instead :)

Looking forward to Longhorn TP 4.0 like everyone else :)

thanks for the great work u do :)

1. The idea is there would be a lot of stuff to hide. I'm working on Clock and Weather modules and have finished a Notepad module.

2. Taskman says 30 MB, but .NET Framework programs are always reported incorrectly - it uses far much less.

3. I will add some code to let the user scroll up and down if there are too many modules to fit vertically.

4. Yes. People don't like downloading the .NET Framework, but they'll be better off overall, since more and more apps are using it.

5. Yes. :)

Your sidebar is great, it's just that this is somewhat more functional. Each module is a DLL and third-party modules can be dropped in the Modules folder and appear the next time the bar is started. The sidebar provides a HostServices object to all modules which lets them save preferences (for example, the Notepad saves it's text everytime the sidebar is quit, so that when the sidebar is started again your text is still there).

Not to be a troll or anything but this iis one of those themese that you use for 10 minutes and take it back off again cos u cant stand it..

Nice work and effort though :p

1. You can change slideshow in preferences by read notes.txt and do what it told you.

2. For what? I use task link instead add/remove Much easier and more useful.

3. Longhorn SideBar 3.0 will release before Longhorn Transformation Pack 4.0 For new version, it's up to you guys about web authoring skills.

cheers sorry if my questions are stupid or have bin asked before

1. Hope you will done soon :)

2. Too bad. Mine use just 5-6 MB integrated in explorer.exe .NET Framework doesn't mean to everyone that will be installed on most of machine.

3. Mine doesn't need it because it was fit.

4. Can't you make it without .NET?

5. You can edit memo by run pack to edit memo and there's nothing much I can expect from you for now.

[Windows X]

also is there a slate version of the sidebar?

and media pplayer controls?

1. Yes in next Longhorn SideBar

2. It won't. You can use it in taskbar, can't you?

hey tai what skin is that for smartbar?

can u post it please

[Recall1982]

I think that SmartBarXp is much better than Yours, Windows X, even if SmartBarXp consumes so much RAM. I love SmartBarXP. It's the best sidebar in the world.

Doesn't seem to work with uxtheme patch. The style/theme doesn't show up in themes, right click -> properties -> themes, after you use the installer. I know you said about stle xp, but uxtheme is free....

If I navagate to /windows/resourcesthemes I can use it, but that it a bit of a pain in the ass... Also I can't work out how to get the task pane/clock to work. How do I do that?

Q

[darkmark327]

I only use the uxtheme (hell if I'm gonna spend 20 bucks on something that you can do in 2 minutes for free) and it shows up fine...dunno what's wrong with yours.
