ClearInfo 0.48 for beta testing

[zivan56]

As some of you may remember before I was making a monitoring program called ClearInfo. I sort of gave up on it until recently, it now has auto update, cpu usage is now percentage, detects your cpu (almost any that exist), html output, skins, new settings dialog, etc. Anyways, if somebody feels like beta testing it, please leave a comment about what you think or what else I should add. Also, if you find a bug, leave information about your OS and setup. Hope everybody enjoys it :D

EDIT: I forgot it add its only for Win2k/XP, but it might work on 98.

Go into settings LazyDesert and try to change the font and make it transparent. The icon looks cool man. LOL @ Timdorr's heavy moderating industries.:ditsy:

[lazydesert]

i still get the halo

i think its because of cleartype. . . .??

btw, my screenshot is with transparency

[Guest Dclanz]

Try disabling the cleartype and see if it makes a difference. If it does then post back here. Z may have a few ideas as to what to do.

[lazydesert]

yeah,

its cleartype :D

after having it off for about 30 seconds, my eyes are already starting to sting . . .

[Guest Dclanz]

lol...maybe he can do something to make it more readable with cleartype enabled.:)

lazydesert,

Thanks for pointing out the cleartype problem, I will get right on it (the problem is that font draw themselves in a dithered fashion) The only solution I have found for now is to change it to a non-transparent background for it to be seen properly, I will work on it though. Thanks for making the icon, it will be in the next release, do you want me to link to your website in the about dialog or just put your username?

timdorr,

Thanks for changing the thread name, I will message you if I need it changed again :)

Btw, To anybody that could provide hosting it would be appreciated, all i need in 10mb and php support for the site to work.

i havent rebuilt the site since the incident, so its kinda all thrown together.. i'll get around to it one of these days after my messenger theme is complete :D

[Guest Dclanz]

Heads up Z. I like the fact that Clearinfo shows the title of the current track being played in Winamp but if the name is too long then it isn't fully displayed since you can't resize Clearinfo's window. Would it be possible to have the text scroll along just like in winamp?:knocked:

[zivan56]

I have tried implementing that, however the problem is that when scrolling text, when ClearInfo is transparent causes around 70% cpu usage, and it sometimes becomes blurry. I will try to work on that though over the next few days so you can enable it in the settings dialog.

[Guest Dclanz]

Sounds like a plan, man. Keep us up to date.:cool:

[zivan56]

I have just released beta 2 of version 0.48 beta, you can download it here , new features are winamp scrolling, new about dialog, and the new icon by lazydesert.

[Guest Dclanz]

Aiight!:D

[lazydesert]

aww... still doesnt work with cleartype . . :(

thats a hella sexy icon though ;)

[Guest Dclanz]

Cool icon lazydesert. Say...can u make me 1 with shuriken? j/k :p

Clearinfo is running quite smoothly over here on win2k. All you have to do now Z is fix the cleartype issue. Then it'll be time for some new features.:bandit:

[zivan56]

I am working on the cleartype problem, the main problem with a fix for it is that I dont have Windows XP, just win2k. Btw, the setting dialog will be changed to be more customizable and stuff :)

[Guest Dclanz]

If I get any ideas for good features I'll post 'em here. Meanwhile I've got a certain little Kunoichi to deal with.:bandit:

[zivan56]

I have just added the ability to post bugs in ClearInfo on the site, if you find any you can submit them there.

[Guest Dclanz]

Cool.:)

i dont understand what you mean :ditsy:

[Guest Dclanz]

"Shuriken- also known as death star. It is a sharp, star-shaped object which is the common arsenal of the ninja. It is usually coated at the tips with a thin film of poison to hasten death. Because of the light weight and deep impact some assasinations are commited with naught but 1 or 2 of these deadly weapons."

I knew those old pieces of parchment would come in handy someday.:ditsy:
