Hi !

Once again, thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it, and it keeps me motivated for this project.

You asked for news, here is what I can tell you :

• A Pre Alpha build of myBoard will be available before the end of this month, it will be available ONLY for beta testers. Please understand that a pre alpha is not "feature complete". When it is used, it refers to all activities performed during the software project prior to software testing. So basically I'm releasing this to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do with myBoard.

• A beta of myBoard SDK (to create gadgets) will also be available shortly (this month too)
  
• I'm currently working on the website & licenses issues and this is a time consuming process.
  
• Beta tester subscribtion is over, a public Alpha version should be available end of January, most likely February so please be patient.

That's all I can tell you so far.
Stay tuned

Hello! Would really like to apply to test this. I have done 8 years of programming in C++/MFC. Did a bit of .NET/C# but still prefer MFC over C#. Anyways. If ever you need someone to help ya out, let me know.

I'm a new comer to this forum as I was looking for something like this.. This will support the vista gadgets right? Or do we have to design completly new gadgets just for your framework?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for you help Spectral, please send me your email address/msn to yann.alet@gmail.com I'll be glad to discuss with you about how you can help.

myBoard does NOT support any other gadgets. It is only compatible with .net assemblies which is kind of the whole point here.

So all alpha/beta testers, please check your mails

myBoard pre alpha 0.3 is out with a new magnet available : Post-It
I tried to make this magnet look like the mac os one, I hope you'll like it.

question: is there an auto fit feature in the font size of the stickies?

Hummm you 're right, I missed that one ...
Anyway, this magnet source code will be available with the SDK, so you are free to improve what ever feature you want.

[adysoft]

Ok here is the first version of the myBoard SDK. There is a pdf explaining the myBoard framework, and a tutorial + source code to create magnets.
Keep in mind this is early stages stuff ...
If you have any question, feel free to ask : yann.alet@gmail.com

Hi,

Due to the lack of feedbacks from beta testers I have decided to release the pre alpha 0.3.
Please try it and report on this forum or via email (yann.alet@gmail.com) your feedbacks.

Download myBoard Pre Alpha 0.3
Download myBoard Magnets SDK

Happy XMas

Great Program!!

it would be cool if the Dock cold be moved because if you have the taskbar on top (like me), it loks a bit ugly

Merry Christmas!

I'll see what I can do ...

Thank you

feedback
- when the board is activated pressing the assigned hotkey will cause it reactivate. IMO, pressing the hotkey again should bring you back to the desktop
- multiple instances can be run, causing multiple boards to be activated with the same hotkey at the same time
- dropping a widget on the dock will still create a new widget behind the dock
- widgets don't appear where you place them; they appear off by a few pixels
- i'd also like support for top/side/no taskbar
- if you move a widget to the top of the screen then open the widgetdock, that widget will slide off the screen. it would be great if widgets would stop sliding once they hit the top border of the desktop
- i'd like an option to show the dashboard when the icon was double-clicked, and when you would close the dashboard, the program would quit instead of remaining in the background
- support for hotkeys like ctrl+F12, ctrl+shift+E etc
edit : - although this isn't really important, since this app is vista-only, a 256x256 icon would be nice

Me too

I like the dashboard tool a lot, very handy..and it works fine here on Vista Home Premium. I also think that another click on the middle mouse button should hide the dashboard next to the left click to the darker area on the desktop. Other than that I think that this is great project and I am looking forward to the next version (maybe with a weather gadget or a todo list which could come in handy, at least I think so;)
