This guy can't be the real siwu...

The real siwu would never outwardly recommend downloading .Net Framework
Look: Evidence

*smacks the imposter*

Stupid Frenchie - didn't I tell you ages ago that .Net was great?

Wellcome to us Siwu.
Your new beast rocks. Is the best Expose clone as I have seen. It can that some "professional" apps (e.g. Entbloess) couldn't. It can works well with Kapsules and Konfabulator.

Thanks siwu

Apparently it's looking for some font named Monotype Corsiva, which I don't have. When I attempted to find it online, I found that it's a licensed font that you have to pay $22 for =P

Edit: Nevermind. I managed to find where to download it http://fonts.goldenweb.it/index_file/l/it/.../m/default.html

i take offence to that stevie

[bondjames]

Thanks for this great release Siwu!!
UnfortunatelyI'll have to wait a few days till I get my DSL connection back.

I tried excluding YzDock and it did not work, I applied and then saved the exclusion and when I pressed F9, YzDock still got exposed...

Welcome back!

This is great stuff! Been waiting for a nice FREE exposé clone! Although...

I feel a little hesitant to download framework 2 beta off microsoft... microsoft is known to be buggy so a framework beta... I dunno... do you have to uninstall the framework 2 beta when the framework 2 final is published? or will it be able to just update it? see I don't wanna put too much of this trash on my computer...

And so you may.
My comment, however, was directed at Siwu. He and I have a long-standing friendly banter (we are, after all, close friends) whereby I berate him for being French and he, me for being British.

If you took offence at my obviously tongue-in-cheek remarks, then I'm sorry to you but, if you spoke to any of my friends and associates from Aqua-Soft, you'd find that I am possibly the most accepting person (when it comes to nationality/race/whatever) you could hope to find - I have friends who come from (and live in) most corners of the globe, and of most religions and nationalities.

Siwu, Sinapse v0.1 is possibly your finest work (that I've seen) to date.
The only criticism I have is that the config interface needs some work from someone who knows how to do UI design

And I really do mean that that's the only thing I can find wrong with it.
It's already a startup item on my system. I like it that much.

Okay first, you shouldn't worry about installing beta software from microsoft, I mean, they have the most useable beta software

Also, I've been developping this software for two months now, on a BETA IDE (Visual Studio 2005) and on a BETA Framework. And so far, i've seen ONLY ONE bug in it, and it's related to the context menu. And it's not that bad.

Also, yes i'm sure you will be able to update the beta.

I know how you feel, i've been there , but hey, .NET is really a GREAT and HUGE thing, so go ahead

Well it's really just a lot of new and confusing stuff that is happening. Not long ago I installed .NET Framework 1.1. And at that time I was a little hesitant to install it.

I questioned myself: why do I need to install this to just "run" programs? I've never had any problems running programs before all this .NET (dont take me wrong) "jibberish". Now of a sudden I have to install some extra stuff just to be able to run a program.

Well that's what got me to think. I haven't looked too much into this although. But I'm always hesitant to install additional software when I feel it's not needed. I'm very picky about things I install. A bit paranoid almost. But I'm struggling to have a clean OS not bloated with lots of unnecessary programs.

But if .NET is the train to catch I'm not gonna be late to jump on it.

I'm just wondering if it's so great why isn't it bundled with XP PRO SP2? Maybe it will be bundled with Longhorn.

Oh well I'll give it a try and if my computer dies I'll blame you and you'll never be able to live with that on your conscious

pcw - .NET is really Microsoft's effort to update all of their programming languages... VB6 ==> VB.NET, C++ ===> C# (.NET) etc. Just like all of MS's efforts, they're going to slowly integrate it into their OS and (for good or bad)....

[pcw]

Alright.

Well I Installed the .NET framework 2.0 beta and ran siwu's app. But it seems like nothing is working. The program is ran. And I can access it in the system tray and configure and all this. But it just won't do anything if I press FP, F10 or F11.

Did I have to install .NET framework 1.1 before I installed 2.0? The 2.0 didn't complain or anything when I installed it though.
