i dont need any help

ect.

[kiwi-kiwi]

Latest posts from forums
Top 5 audio

[adam2510]

i probably cant do every post but maybe the most recent forum?

[adam2510]

so e.g. i can have it show in a list when the forum was last posted in and have a effect showing that

[adam2510]

BTW i will start designing it on friday so please suggest ideas for the design too

[Jon-86]

Their was an NG toolbar made a while ago, you could poach some of the ideas from that. But why not make one with the few suggestions you have now, get it working and then add to it. No point trying to add loads of features all at once. One feature at a time and use proper version control. That way if you make a buggy feature we simply go back to the previous version!

[adam2510]

True

thanks Jon-86 i'll still make it on friday (i'm busy tomorrow)

[adam2510]

any more ideas for beta 2?

beta 1: designing on friday
top 5 movies for the week
top 5 games for the week
top 5 music for the week
Search

beta 2:
forum activity
usual and direct links to the flash/music

music you can play from the widget or go to the page and the flash you can go to the page or open direct to the window

any more ideas?

Add in something where the user can check new inbox messages.

AKA:
Inbox(34)

...and then then if clicked, it opens the PM page. This would probably require either access to cookies, or the user logging in with the sidebar... ;)

Good luck with your project.

No disrespect to bob but I'm pretty damn sure he's not the one to talk to about that.

If I was going to use this app, I'd want:

1. XP compatibility because a lot of us still use XP and can run it in the background from our taskbar or system tray.
2. The ability to customize the app to check whichever forum(s) they want
3. The ability to check for the latest flash submissions, even if it's just submitted for voting

system tray.
hmmm i'd actually have to make a proper program for that

2. The ability to customize the app to check whichever forum(s) they want

it checks all of them in a flyout window

3. The ability to check for the latest flash submissions, even if it's just submitted for voting

i can add that too in beta 2

[FLAMEBOY97]

A thing that leads you directly to your profile.

[adam2510]

that shal be added in the user system thingy

[adam2510]

ok i asked Rob :)

[adam2510]

i just want to get a few things up on my site (will take up to 2 hours)

[iMate900]

I actually recommend that you work on your site. #1 it's ugly, #2 it runs off the page, #3 there's much more but I don't feel like typing it all up.

hmmm

there isnt a linux dashboard is there?
other than that i will probably make a program version for those with other or older computers e.g. Linux or XP and i have a good freind who can help me with that

The windowing systems I've used (GNOME and XFCE), they have a pretty expendable panel system, which is sorta like the start bar on windows.

[adam2510]

i still think i should make it like a program for linux and XP

btw FFS i have to restart the graphics because they decided to resize to smaller than i wanted when i exported them

BTW, it can be in the system tray, so it works on Windows 95 up AND Linux...

What are we going to use? I'm guessing...
* Linux version: GTK+, statically builtin
* Windows version: Win32 APIs
I know about GTK+ (I'm adanced at that).

[adam2510]

probably yea

Too wide for my screen resolution, which is 1024x768. I think the design puts me off more than anything though.

I failed at linking GTK+ statically :(

We shouldn't have to adjust our browser to view your website. 1024 is a commonly used width, and you should take that into consideration when designing websites.

But that implies we want him to design websites in the first place...

[adam2510]
