Could someone upload GmailNotifierPlus-v1.2.zip to somewhere else, please? (preferably localhostr, as Mediafire is blocked here, and I can't seem to download it even with a web proxy.

I don't have localhostr, but here's a dropbox link: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/465760/GmailNotifierPlus-v1.2.zip

This is a nice app for those who like to use the Gmail interface. That was all I used for a while. For those of you who like a dedicated program, but cant stand outlook and cant get Thunderbird to be really seamless with Gmail, try Postbox. Its lightweight, based on Firefox, has seamless Gmail integration and some good extra organizational tools. http://www.postbox-inc.com/

hi, i just registered to say thank you for sharing this app. i am not a programer but i really like both, the idea and the implementation of the notifier. it seems to be caching up with win7 users and i really hope to see it grow. i didn't have the time to read the entire thread yet, but i noticed there was an issue with some people using 64bit windows. i am using version 1.2 with 7201 x64 and as far as i can tell everything works as expected. one feature that i would like to see would be the ability to open the default email client when i click on the notifier, instead of the browser.

again, all the best daty2k1, and thanks for this app.

will.

Thanks for the great application! I just wanted to point out a little bug I've noticed: sometimes the background of the Aero Peek preview of the notifier turns black. The attached image should give you a better idea of what's going on. Let me know if you need any extra info. I'm running Windows 7 RC x64.

Thanks again!

Edit: There's probably no way to do this, but can it be eliminated from the Alt-Tab screen? Thanks!

Yeah, same thing happens to me sometimes.

Updated with new version 1.2 Get it here.

What's new in 1.2:

- Google Apps support (Thanks abirdd for the account :))

- Application will no longer appear first in alt-tab

- Fixed mail counter in preview when there are more than 99 unread messages

- Additional bug fixing

What's new in 1.1:

- Updated unread counter icon to make it clearer

- Added multi-language support: English, French and Spanish (thanks Demgel!) at the moment.

- Added automatic login to gmail when opening a message or the inbox

I'd like to thank Chris Ivarson (which I completely forgot to do when I first released the app, sorry!) for his great Gmail icon.

Hello everyone. I've been a member of this forum for a while now but I've never actually contributed. So for my first post, I'd like to present you a little tool I've made:

As you have probably guessed, this is a Windows 7 only mail notifier that will sit in the taskbar:

ngwrvb.pngfaq2on.png

It allows you to see a preview of all unread mails you have. Clicking on the button in the center will open the mail in Gmail:

Unread mails are also accessible from the jump list. Clicking on one of them will also open it in Gmail.

And that's about it! It is using Gmail secured RSS feed to retrieve the mails so it should be pretty safe. Credentials are saved using a machine's dependent encryption. Here are some more screens:

Of course, feel free to report any bug you might encounter :)

Yes, by the way, when I click Compose Mail, it sends me is not to create a new letter, but just in a inbox.

Win 7.7201, Opera 10b1

Works fine for me with Firefox but looks like it doesn't work with IE either. Thanks, I'll look into it.

Thanks, I'll update the original post :)

Happens to me only when my graphic driver crashes. Does anything happen before you notice that?

Nice little app. One suggestion...honor the default browser when opening the inbox or selecting compose mail or make it configurable for which browser (assuming multiple installed) should be used for gmail activity.

It should be opening in your default browser as I don't specify any specific browser when opening the link. It handled by Windows. It is working fine for me when I change my default browser.

I cant in any way access the change account settings, it shows in the popup view, but when i click it nothing happens. I wanted to change it because i typed @gmail.com in the first box

A few people reported this bug as well. I haven't found what the problem is yet but it doesn't matter if you typed @gmail.com, it should be working fine too.

^

The only way i can re-access the options in this case is by closing the app. and re-open it. Then i have the options menu again.

Didnt notice yet what is the reason that causes this problem.

Same reason here.

I'm really starting to think that all these issues are just bugs in the Windows 7 API for .NET. Wouldn't be too surprising considering it's still in beta. According to the MSDN page, final version should be released around the time Windows 7 goes RTM. Hopefully it will be working fine for everyone :)

Ok. Haven't found a way to prevent that yet :(

actually i think its just a bug in Win7 lol.. coz other programs don't have the jumplist working properly either.. i just found out that it's supposed to keep track of your latest opened file in the jumplist, but for some reason it seems that the jumplist is disabled.. screenshot:

EDIT:

OK! i got it i think!

This worked for me:

1. Right click on Windows Orb

2. Click on Properties

3. Click on Start Menu tab

4. Make sure Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar is checked

5. Then click on Customize

6. Make sure Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists is however many unread emails you want to have shown in jump list!

7. Click on OK then again on OK

if the problem is solved for others using this solution, i guess its not a bug after all lol :p

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
