I've just published another update, make sure to reopen Lifemate a couple of times to trigger it. Once it's installed head to Settings again and click Theme > then pick any, do the same for the Daytime and Nighttime options.

Thanks :)

Update received! The crash is gone, but the Themes folder is empty.

Switching "Automatic switching" complains again about Light.xml and Dark.xml being missing.

Aaaand just released another update :p

This time I've included a Reset Lifemate option as well as some code which will copy across the themes files if they don't exist for whatever reason, so it should fix your problem :)

Thanks,

Jan :)

Update installed, reset executed. However, it seems LifeMate is really missing Light.xml :) I'm getting this popup after finishing the wizard and pressing the "V"

Seems the issue was that ClickOnce thinks that XML is data only, not a resource therefore it wasn't copying to the storage folder, hence the errors.

Anyways, I've set the right permissions now so it should be working fine if all goes well :) Update available now.

Yep, after a reset it is working! Very nice choice of colours :)

New update out now!

You can now change the view and sort modes for notes, so you can now display your notes as cards verses a list and you can also change how your notes are sorted.

For those of you who already have Lifemate installed be sure to restart it a couple of times to get the update to download.

Thanks,

Jan.

This looks neat! I'll install as soon as I get home.

The design of Lifemate is stunning, unfortunately the lack of any kind of option where to install or even how to (seems to me that this type of application would benefit greatly if available as portable or self contained inside it's folder) makes it very unfriendly, event the shortcut isn't pointing to installation directory. Other that that it is still rather buggy on Windows 7, with problems descirbed by Raphael.

Keep up the work and think about portable version.

I would love a portable version as well.

Lifemate's installed through ClickOnce as it makes it easier for me to package it, distribute it and update it. It should be installed to a folder inside appdata, don't believe I can change that.

What's buggy about it on Windows 7? I'd assume the sidebar might be buggy but the rest should work just the same as it does on Windows 10.

I'll definitely look into building a portable version :)

Is this by any chance open source?

Closed source sorry.

P5 brings quite a few changes which makes using Lifemate even easier and faster.

Wow I'm not sure what I'm seeing in your latest screenshot, but it looks stunning. I'm looking forward to the next preview.

Notes can now have header images (like they could waaaay back in the day, had to remove the feature though when I overhauled the app :P).

Just a WPF app styled to look like a Windows 10 app :) 

 

No cloud syncing yet except for saving your notes manually to OneDrive or Dropbox, although it's certainly on my list of things to add once I learn about the online side of things :)

yay for syncing. will it ever be a universal win app?

Ok, I had to log in just to say: THIS IS AWESOME!

 

I don't know how the rest of you think, but I think that this is how Windows 10 apps should look like. Currently they look REALLY BAD. Even the OS by itself looks worse than this application. 

 

I have to say that the style of your app is very similar to OS X programs, but it's a good thing. Windows developers have a lot to learn and I think they could learn just by looking at jour job.

 

When you implement syncing and release a WM10 version I'll be able to switch from OneNote (works great, but looks... not so great) to LifeMate.

Sorry for double post, but I couldn't edit the last post.

 

 

I just downloaded the app and have some feedback:

  • During the first-run procedure there's an error in a mesaage displayed:

 

your notes will notes.PNG

 

  • When I created a new note, typed a title and a note itselt, I couldn't open Sidebar - clicking on a hamburger doesn't open sidebar, I have to restart LifeMate. Also, when this happens and I maximize the window I see this:

 

fullscreen.PNG

 

  • When I clicked Characters/Words number in the bottom I saw this (top-left corner):

words.PNG

 

 

 

P.S. I'm using the latest version of WIndows 10 (non-Insider)

Is this still being developed because I love it! Can't wait for the header images... 

You guys have inspired me to become a developer, I am learning stack development for web applications.  I use Raphael's Dopamine to listen to all my music and I am now using Lifemate to keep track of my coding project notes. 

 

Currently I am learning HTML / CSS / JavaScript / PHP / MySQL.  Fun stuff! =)

 

Thanks for the inspiration you guys!

 

Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks :) A UWP version of Lifemate is in progress but my main priority at the moment is getting the Win32 version finished :)

I'll be sure to get those first two things finished for the next release.

 

Clicking the characters/words opens up an info view for the note, it just isn't finished yet.

How? I can not see an option to add an image header =/

 

That'll be available in the next release :)

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
