I don't know it is me or what. I can't get this to work on Windows XP Pro SP2 (32Bit). When I run it, I get this error

post-111931-1170296511.jpg

I tried to turned off the Stem in look.ini. Still don't work.

I am using WindowBlinds, theme services switched off and have mine explorer.exe reshack abit. Mainly the icons, logoff and shutdown string, so that it looked nice on some Vista skin. Would it be that is the reason? Or it requires other stuff to run, namely .Net framework or other VC runtimes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Close button -> good one.

Startup -> just add it manually to the startup group.

Added it to the Startup folder, but I'd perfer it not to pop up evertime I log into Windows :).

I've spotted another problem, I think;

When shutting down/logging out of Windows, explorer crashes. I am pretty sure it's related to glasstoast not being closed correctly.

Does this completely replace windows usual popup?

Why must it be placed in startup..shouldn't it just be integrated into windows service?

Yes it does, except for the mouse over popups. Its better to have full control of it rather than integrating it into the windows service. And its not a service.. its a third party toaster. :laugh:

I would like to request a version in the beta 1 style without the pointer, just a plain rectangular "toast".

If it's at all possible, I would also like to be able to manually adjust the horizontal position so that I could have it pop up to the left of the Vista sidebar, instead of over it.

:)

Edit: something like this maybe? :

I have the skin images like I want, but it doesn't seem to be responding to changes in xcorrection and ycorrection in the look file. Am I changing the right thing?

Edit: nevermind, just changed the x/ypos under stem, that did it.

I am using Windows XP Pro SP2.

After installing VC++ 2005 Runtimes, I finally get the glasstoast working. The popups worked great.

While using glasstoast and successfully connected to the internet, the popup come up, stating network connected established. However, the network icon (two small monitors) didn't show up in the tray notification area.

Then, I quit the internet and glasstoast, reconnect, the network icon is shown again.

It this a bug?

Thanks.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Mateus · Posted

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
