System Preferences

For those who havent heard, i've been hard at work making a clone of the OS X System Preferences app. This will not just be a shortcut to the control panel applets, but a complete replacement, with things exactly as they are on the mac.

I'm not sure when the release will be, but here is a screenshot that i took a few weeks ago.

NOTE: This is NOT my current progress. Much more has been added since this were taken.

Looks great. Be sure to keep posting updates of your progress. It gets irritating when you dont hear about development for months on end. I.E.- iPhoto,aqua-tunes.

Of course! At the moment, because of the way i am doing the transparency (thru gdi+), any skin must take the same shape as an aqua window (rounded titlebar) but for the release i will make an effort to make it so any shape skin will work.

Btw, im making this application in C#, not VB, and i think this may be one of the first non-vb aqua apps :)

#11809

c#.. yep.

cant wait to see it. obviously when it comes out, everybody will put it on their desktop screenshots

#11813

will it be available in several languages ?

#11839

hyperb0le:

:-) C# yes! I writing TextEdit for Windows in C# too.

C# is the future. Don`t you think?

Kind of. most of the text is actually stored in images, so someone can easily create a skin for any language.

And yes, i do believe that C# is the future.

Hyperb0le this is gonna kick huge ass. Way to go.

#11986

Very cool. Looks great so far. I'm sure it will turn out great!

#12171

Can't wait for an early release?

Will an Alpha or a Beta release available for the public?

Awesome! :lol:;)

I grade it A+!

#12286

I can't wait ..... This look soo good...

Keep up the good work ;) ..

#12314

Looks promising... Can't wait.

BTW... Nice graphics. Me like :D

#12371

anything happening with this?

#13095

Yes. Plenty is happening with this.

I have taken a lot of time to go back and fix some disfunctional code in order to improve speed. as a result, not much has changed graphically, but plenty has changed under the hood.

#13103

so its all gooh in the hoooh?

(spam)

#13120

Hyperbole- This looks VERY promising....I'm extremely stoked to hear that this is being written in C# rather than VB, which for some reason has become the standard for anything Aqua related. It'll be nice to use an App without relying on the notoriously buggy Aqua Controls. Keep it up dude!
