ok man i have tried this and i have to say it is amazing!! really great.

seriously loving it and low cpu and ram.. couldnt believe it.

i have a request however.. can you make a start button module and can you my a systray module. if you can make both of these that will be awesome.. its really not the same pressing the win key and getting the crappy start menu showing up all out of place.. if we could have our own custom menu that would be awesome... like in black box or something..

also with the task bar like dock thing you have made.. would be great if it could be more minimal.. you've got so much space on the top and bottom of the window.. if you could reduct that it would be much much ebtter because right now its a little big imo.

other then that its amazing. please though on the final relerase can you get rid of the version number its annoying on things like the clock and the weather. simply amazing app man!! i will definately be loking at making skins for this.

edit: one more thing i would like changed to this awesome program.. can you remove the visualisation from WMP widget.. i hate that. can we have album art? thats a popular choice in many other widgets so to have the option of choice between them would be awesome and make this so much better.

hope you dont mind my comments just thought feedback other then great app is useful.

i have a request however.. can you make a start button module and can you my a systray module.  if you can make both of these that will be awesome.. its really not the same pressing the win key and getting the crappy start menu showing up all out of place.. if we could have our own custom menu that would be awesome... like in black box or something..

=> "Start Button" or "Custom Menu" in next version (Next version include also a new engine for DLL Widgets)

also with the task bar like dock thing you have made.. would be great if it could be more minimal.. you've got so much space on the top and bottom of the window.. if you could reduct that it would be much much ebtter because right now its a little big imo.

=> More skins in next version.

other then that its amazing.  please though on the final relerase can you get rid of the version number its annoying on things like the clock and the weather.  simply amazing app man!! i will definately be loking at making skins for this.

=> I'll erase the version number in Final Version.

edit: one more thing i would like changed to this awesome program..  can you remove the visualisation from WMP widget.. i hate that.  can we have album art? thats a popular choice in many other widgets so to have the option of choice between them would be awesome and make this so much better.

=> New Player Widgets in Next Version (WMP Mini, iTunes Mini and WinAmp Mini) but without "album art".

hope you dont mind my comments just thought feedback other then great app is useful.

This thing does everything I was using samurize for... 10x bettter.

Thanks for sharing this!

A couple things though:

Maybe make the note pod look like the other pods?

And also, allow any time pods to work with American time standards. (It just feels more comfortable)

Month/Day/Year

Hour/Minute/Second

Other than those simple things:

The mail checker doesn't work if your servers are on unusual ports :( (gmail)

Again, absolutely amazing program.

my weather wont work....i put in my zip code and my town comes up but once i highlight it and click ok nothing happens .... ????????

585184057[/snapback]

sure, it works.

Maybe u should just type in the name of your city.

Or just because of your network.

eg. mine, chengdu,

Is there a way to remove/disable the dock at the top?

Edit: Nvm, it's all there in setup :)

Great app :) Although I have a few suggestions. When adding websites to the link folder, Is it possible for it to use the title from the Website instead of the path? And in the future would it be possible to shrink the link folder to an even small size? It's a bit tall.

When locking pods, can we have the option of removing the key graphic?

Is it possible to have a little customization on the email notification animation? i.e. Is it possible to get rid of the flying animation, and just have a stationary alert?

And is it possible to customize which google we use instead of having to use google.com? i.e. google.ca

Hi,

Is there a way to remove/disable the dock at the top?

=> Yes : in main Setup (uncheck "load RemoteWin").

Edit: Nvm, it's all there in setup :)

Great app :)  Although I have a few suggestions.  When adding websites to the link folder, Is it possible for it to use the title from the Website instead of the path?  And in the future would it be possible to shrink the link folder to an even small size?  It's a bit tall.

=> The link Folder is a resizable Pod, Have you try to resize it ?

When locking pods, can we have the option of removing the key graphic?

=> You can remove the key graphic by editing the skin (or remove the png file of the key). But this kind of think depend on skin. I think, i don't add an option to remove the key ...

Is it possible to have a little customization on the email notification animation?  i.e. Is it possible to get rid of the flying animation, and just have a stationary alert?

=> I don't think so. May be in version x.xxx but not in the first release.

And is it possible to customize which google we use instead of having to use google.com?  i.e. google.ca

=> Yes, edit the "data.easygoogle" file and modify the URL.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
