Glass Toast for Vista

[noroom]

in Vista, the balloon popups look like the ones from XP.

However, at some point in the longhorn beta's, they actually looked like this:

Actually, that is not a balloon popup. It's a Messenger popup. Different things.

But still, this is looking nice!

Thanks for the x64 compile offer, but I'm already downloading x64 platformsdk files now - it's probably better, because I'm currently recompiling a lot :)

[backdrifter]

it looks really great, but as somebody else stated the consept video shows a messenger popup. Some details differ therefore, for instance your balloons don't indicate the owner of the message like standard balloons do.

Hope you keep working on it though, it just looks beatiful.

[Brian M. Veteran]

Get it working with XP!! :D

XP MCE 2005 here, nothing happens.

[AndreasV]

Only the test balloon doesn't work with xp. other balloons should work.

can you make this a long term project thats analogous to growl for mac? give those mac fanboys a run for their money yes!?!!!!

[Menge]

oooh! nice going there, Ave!

how about implementing the vaporware universal notification framework that Longhorn promised and Vista never got? ;) (yes this is another vote for implementing something akin to Growl in Windows :p)

[Denis W. Veteran]

Very nice!

It's still a bit too small and occasionally the icon on the left spills out of the toast. Also if the application is still running and the user logs off, Explorer crashes with a 0x10001010 error.

that concept video wasant a concept video it was actually Longhorn at PDC 04 jim was showing build 4051 or 4060 using Glass and many other functions

Looks great, now we just need to get apps to hook into this (i.e. Gaim incoming IMs would be cool) :yes:

No.

No. After I do it for one everybody will be screaming for their favorite app to be supported.

http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/glasstoast.zip Hopefully fixed all XP bugs thanks to menge. Only thing not working for XP users are glasstoast's own popup ballloons under xp. Just find a normal popup balloon.

[tempnegro]

No.

release an API? just like growl yes!!!

[DigitalE]

That looks really neat!

[AndreasV]

The API is simple. Use the normal balloon notification built into windows.

x64 version thanks to MagicAndre: http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/glasstoast64.zip

[SionicIon]

the x64 version doesnt work for me. :( it just closes unexpectedly

[~D~]

x86 version doesn't seem to work for me.. or does it have to be a Windows balloon?

[0sit0]

[AionXn_]

[AndreasV]

I have no idea on the x64 - I haven't compiled it and can't test it.

[jimbo11883]

Works good here on XP Pro SP2, I'm going to play with the skin and make it fit in with LE 5.1... :D

[Glassed Silver]

put up some mini site for this app so it's easier to follow development :p

really a nice idea, will definately give it a try sooner or later.
