crucius: This is a problem with the way i am loading bitmaps... they are currently limited to indexed 256 color bitmaps unfortunatly. Good news though is that in the next couple of days I will add a complete skinning system that will fix all the current issues. It is not very noticable at high resolutions which is why I didn't put it too high on the priority list.

philou: Clicking at the top, my bad, it was just a simple over sight... it has been fixed and will be reflected in the next release (1 or 2 days from now). Problem with the menus automatically selecting, this is a problem I somtimes experience as well, I am not 100% sure why it's not working all the time but it won't be over looked as it is very annoying when it doesn't work. Skinning may be in the next release and if not the one after that.

To everyone else, thanks for your kind words of support and encouragement. I would love someone to come onto the team and help with graphics, logos, icons, and primarily a website. If anyone is interested just PM me.

Dude, I just realized that I love you!
This little Baby actually hides the Photoshop Menus and this alone left me drooling.
Now if it just could could grab them and display them correctly on Rosie, I'll be the first one that donates you an insanely huge amount of cash (note: definition of "insanely huge" is reserved to the author)

PM sent, Pal. And I just discovered that she's pretty easy to reshack. =)
Btw: I've just finished the German translation, PM me, if you need it.

[crucius]

WOW!This app is getting better and better!However it is right now the best alternative to object bar!

[The Eggman]

I've been considering the option of using a Finder bar for quite a while now. When dobee finishes his WB skin of TigerV I'll be sure to try this one first. Keep up the great work

[.Fliz]

Looks great, i'm going to test it out right!

[shockme17]

yes, please continue to work on this- this seems so far, like a solid program- considering how early in development it is.. don't let this go to the graveyard like the other countless programs..

[crucius]

By the way it would be great if you would add an optional spotlight icon in the upper right for those people who may need it.

thx

new version guys, skinning is done! this is only a preview, and following my previous patterns it will be polished up and a proper release will follow.

Preview 0.2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-UNICODE support added (a ***** to fix so late in the game) so languages which require unicode should be support. ie. cantonese, mandarin, french characters, etc.
-skinning implemented, supports ONLY png (keep it simple) in a folder with the skin name.
-language support completely implemented, just awaiting translators assistance.
-VERY alpha preference dialog
-Custom application names, rosie now tracks EVERY program that is being run on the system and gives the option to rename it's display name.
-Added an exclude list, for program's that do not work with rosie to keep their default behaviour. (although no GUI method to modify yet)
-New bug introduced when rosie is closed, explorer crashes with no error code, and restarts instantly (VERY HARD TO DEBUG). So just don't close rosie

[crucius]

Thanks for the great update!However there is now a new thing bugging me a little bit:When I quit rosie and restard it it says that rosie is still running and is not able to relaunch.After I quit the app via taskmanager and relaunch it,just a white bar comes up where no bottons or other things are on.

try to solve that problem,

crucius

for crucius: "this is only a preview, and following my previous patterns it will be polished up and a proper release will follow."

[please] try to solve your problem of not being able to read previous posts thoroughly.

keane: great job as always, keep up the good work! and, will custom font support be introduced shortly?

[keane]

version 0.2 release. is out!

I fixed the bug with explorer crashing and the bar not working.
Language support is done. Everything just needs to be further polished although I am quite happy with it's stability.

I am not saying do not give me suggestions, I still need them so that rosie can evolve. Just do not expect many new features until 0.4, because I am planning just to clean up my code, comment, and fix all the small memory leaks that exist.

0.3 will mostly be an invisble release, because all changes will be in the source code. BUT expect a new, more organized preferences dialog.

and just so i don't get repeat requests: features slated for 0.4
--------------------------------------------------------
Custom font support.
Better skinning engine, with support for transparency, menu position, and custom fonts.
Better recognization of custom menu's.
System Tray Applet.
Volume Applet.

weird.. i'm getting a new error saying that i need msvcp71d.dll... this error hasn't showed up before.. i'll just download it somewhere and put it in the directory..

i did that, and then it requested msvcr71d.dll.. i did the same as above, and now it's running well..

Did you extract msvcp71d.dll into the Rosie bar directory, or into windowssystem? I tried both, & I keep getting that error when trying to start Rosie...

[shockme17]

i put it in the rosie directory

Hmm, strange. I still can't get it to work. Thanks for responding..

[keane]

Sorry about that, i forgot to set the builds to release, so it was including the debug librarys...

everything should be fixed now.

[crucius]

How am I able to have acces to the taskmanager when rosie is opened?

thx (I really love this app)

[keane]

Click on the apple and goto -> force quit

or ctrl-alt delete?

Hello Keane
do you have links to the new updates or upgrades on your app
or are you using the original link to hold the updates along with the original files?

[shockme17]

the link is in the first post of the thread.. if you read it, you would have seen that it has been updated- using the same link.. or you could have downloaded the file and seen for yourself, instead of posting a question and waiting however long to get your answer.
