Okay here is the first release of my new application, Sinapse. 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 Link to post

pcw 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 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... Link to post
Stevie BM 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 i take offence to that stevie 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. Link to post

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 Link to post

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 Link to post
Autumnmist 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 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).... Link to post
pcw 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 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. Link to post
Hyral 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 HOLY SHI1T! just installed NET framewrk 2 and ran Sinapse and holy crap it's crazy!

kmccormi 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 siwu ... thanks for this fantastic release! i've only toyed around with it for a bit but it looks pretty good ... my only major problem with it is that when i expose the windows and then move my mouse onto one of them, they all go invisible and flicker a bit ... i don't know if anybody else is experiencing the same thing. also, the animations look great but sometimes aren't very smooth on my computer. regardless, this is a fantastic app ... thank you for your hard work!

EDIT: i was running Y'z shadow and so i quit it and tested synapse again ... the animations were VERY smooth, but i still get the problem of all the windows going completely blank when i move my mouse over any single window. Okay I would suggest you to copy Siwu_test1.xml into another file. Then open this file and search for this: public override void OnMouseEnter(ISinapse Sinapse, IWindow3D Window) { Sinapse.Effects += Effect.Queue ( new TextWriter(Window, new CosinusInterpolator(1, 0), Window.Text) ); foreach (IWindow3D window in Sinapse.Windows) { if (window != Window) { Sinapse.Effects += Effect.Queue ( new Blend(window, new CosinusInterpolator(300, 0), 100) ); } } } And remove this: foreach (IWindow3D window in Sinapse.Windows) { if (window != Window) { Sinapse.Effects += Effect.Queue ( new Blend(window, new CosinusInterpolator(300, 0), 100) ); } } And same thing in: public override void OnMouseLeave(ISinapse Sinapse, IWindow3D Window) { Sinapse.Effects += Effect.Queue ( new TextWriter(Window, new CosinusInterpolator(1, 0), "") ); foreach (IWindow3D window in Sinapse.Windows) { if (window != Window) { Sinapse.Effects += Effect.Queue ( new Blend(window, new CosinusInterpolator(300, 0), 255) ); } } } That's it you won't execute the blending effect on the other windows Link to post
Autumnmist 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Sinapse is a *great* improvement in usability and speed over your previous attempts, siwu. Congrats! One problem, I can't seem to exclude Rainlendar. I drag over the Rainlendar window on my desktop and everything registers fine in Sinapse, but even after saving and applying, Rainlendar still gets affected. Link to post
